Had a treadmill stress test this morning to evaluate my cardiac function and try and figure out if there's a reason why I am still feeling routinely crappy even after some substantial weight loss and better management of my fluids/electrolytes. The last time I had one was 5 years ago and I was able to perform about 70% of what is expected for a person of my age/sex/weight. Today I was at 49%.

I'm not happy about it. Because of this result I have to have a wire shoved into my heart through my neck while I'm conscious.

I have a date on Saturday. She's lovely, intelligent, deeply caring and empathetic. We're going to get coffee and a bagel and go kayaking. Or if we get rained out, a museum and a barbecue joint I've been meaning to try out.
