But you still have to hear from the cardiologist in Philly to call on Monday so maybe there's a good reason for that and it just could be a positive one. Also the fact that the stress test cardiologist asked her if she felt pain during the test and that she said "no" is something that I would ask about if it were me. I've had zero experience with cardiac problems but maybe someone else has. And as Gary says, maybe she just needs a "tune up"! Sounds like the girl from the office must have been confused but I think I would have been upset, too, about the mix-up. Donnarose, you have been so positive with your Mom, you really sound like a wonderful daughter and someone any mother would be so proud to have! But caregivers do get stressed out . I know I did and there were times when I felt I was the only one fighting this thing. You must take care of yourself, too, so that you can have the strength to keep going for your Mom. Maybe another motorcycle ride? Keep posting so we know what's happening, ok?
