So last week I took the stress test and it was positive, which is a negative thing, not a positive thing. That means something is wrong. The 'blip' seems to have been during my recovery phase, not while I was exercising, so my lovely Dr Kaba tells me that is a good thing, that it means we caught something early. I have two appointments with two Cardiologists next week to figure out what is going on with my heart, if anything. At first I was worried, but Dr. Kaba, who is Syrian and has a lovely nearly shaved head and a warm manner, said it could be nothing, so 'we should not worry'. He's very comforting, besides being dreamy.
Today I went for the Psych evaluation and the woman was very professional and warm, and she asked me a thousand questions about my weight loss history (A long and storied one), and a million other questions related to my lifestyle past and present.
The best news is, I get to go back today to join a group and I can begin my fast tomorrow! Yee Ha! I'm excited and also nervous, as I have been all along. I just broke up with bagels, a minute ago. I told the bagel that we had had a long romance but that it needed to end, he just was not good for me. He would need to go abuse someone else. He understood. My ten year old daughter said to me, 'I'll bet he abuses a lot of people'. Oh so true, Ava, so true.
I must confess, my biggest fear at the moment is that the group will be filled with idiots. I don't mean to sound superior, but weight watchers groups were often full of people who just liked to hear themselves talk. I hope the leader, whomever he/she is, will be able to manage the group well. I'm really looking to bond with like-minded people, I can be very supportive if I don't think you're an idiot. I really can.
