On our previous episode of The Life of Riley, I had a minor setback. My pre operative EKG showed an abnormality that really had me worried my RnY Gastric Bypass, scheduled for this coming Tuesday would, once again, be postponed by circumstances beyond my control. I went to a brand-new cardiologist last Thursday (scary!) who looked at my EKG and said, “Okay! Let’s get an echocardiogram” (scarier!) After the echo he said, “You know what? Lets be as safe as we can be about this and do a nuclear stress test” (scariest!) I left that office on Monday, post-test, absolutely convinced I was screwed and would need to wait another six months for surgery….
NOT SO, FRIENDS!
My heart is absolutely, without a doubt, strong and ready to carry me through this next step!
To say I’m elated is putting it mildly.
Bring on the April Fools Day bariatric surgery, y’all! The only joke will be on my self-doubt, co-morbid health conditions, and broken ass body.
Get ready. Your girl’s about to get it together.
Take care of your hearts, now, loved ones!
