Hope they figure out what is causing the discomfort. Maybe time to start slowing down a little. Prayers up, sir.
I'm in the VA hospital!

“Sponge you long time”?
Norty. Just Norty. Here’s to hoping they can find nothing critical with you, brudda.
FWIW when my dad was here it really hurt my wife’s heart with the stress- so much she thought she was having a heart attack. Thankfully after the myriads of tests they all came back negative, we sent him packing and she’s fine now.
Racer, we’re praying for you here. Lewi’s input about activity is so important as it’s easy to couch spud or sit at the workstation all day. FWIW, my wife joined a gym and I did right after she did. It’s IS good for you. Just don’t bite off too big of a chunk at first. Ask me how I know…took over a week for my shoulder and bicep to heal. Snort. I won’t do that again….WARMUPS and stretches pre-workout are
% mandatory at our ages. Non -negotiable.

Now THAT's therapeutic. BUT you'll have to kick out the other guy.
Maybe get a table shower that ends happy?

I was a non exercising smoker in my 30s and went through all that stuff and running on the treadmill was the worst for me. Trying to get my heart rate up to whatever it was they wanted to see and it just hovered about 10 BPM less. Keep going, speed up,..... Aaaaarrrrgghhh.I got yer crack right here.

I read that quick and I thought it said:
Waiting to be taken down from a stress test.
Like they had you up in the air hanging from your ankles...
I'm home!
The stress test went very well. My doctor said I'm an "overachiever." I exceeded what they like to see as "acceptable." My "ticker" is A-OK!

Glad to hear that. Keep On Keepin On!
Ventricular ejection fraction was 70%. Normal is 55 - 70%, so I got a perfect score!
My max heart rate hit 162 bpm, which is 102% of target. So, I got extra points there!
Conclusion: My heart is "strong like bull!"

Strength and honor!
Glad you are home! Probably not as glad as you are though.
Four full days there! Ugh! But my roommate and I got along well and became friends. We helped each other distract ourselves from the boredom and unpleasant aspects of being in the hospital.
