how ableist of them to even ASSUME she can complete this test

Nervous that something will go wrong and she’ll miss a Friday flight.

Really? Try pretending you're riding up a fucking mountain just as well as you pretend you're CI.

I wouldn't mind doing a treadmill test but for some weird reason the cardiologist always wants me to instead have the chemical one, which I absolutely despise. That stuff makes me sick as hell!

Pre-transplant in renal failure I couldn’t complete my treadmill one. My bp crashed and I went down so they did the chemical one. It was unsettling.

the chemical test sounds awful, I’m sorry your doctor insists on it! I’ve only ever had the treadmill test, but here’s hoping I manage to avoid the other one

Why is she worried? She exercizes all the time. She parked a stationary cycle in the sun and rounded up for a long time. Biked up a mountain. Climbed up a mountain. A treadmill should be a cake walk. Oh. She's worried itll show she has no mobility issues, isn't she?

I did one a couple of months ago, with both meniscus in my left knee torn… It went fine. I almost can’t wait to see what BS excuses she uses for why it either didn’t go well or she couldn’t tolerate it.
I just had to go do a bubble study as a follow up to my stress echo, and that one wasn’t as easy, even though it was supposed to be. Every time they injected the bubble saline solution it triggered a sneezing fit (our pollen count for cedar was like 27k that day, soooo..)

So basically she's doing what she does everyday except in a medical setting? Is she going to pretend like she doesn't post shitty 'inspirational' quotes with pictures of her on her exercise bike on her deck? (In that sweet, sweet sunshine and heat which must be so great for POTs patients!)

I was in a wheelchair when I had mine so they gave me a shot of adrenaline or smthg to speed up the heart or smthg--felt so freaky to have the heart speed up like that, not fun.

Why does the floor look like a Hardee's though 😂

Can confirm. It was 30 years ago in High School for only 3 months and I'm still traumatized. Trigger warning please.

WOW.....I've never had a stress test like that. I was scheduled for one years ago, and kept throwing up, and so, they scheduled it again, and I did the same thing SOOO....They always do the chemical Stress Tests....and yes, I still vomit, but it isn't as bad however, I didn't have to be worried or nervous because it was obvious I wasn't faking.

The question is, will they have her try it without the chair and take away her toys when they see she’s fine?

She'll still hold on to them

Seems like it would be hard to fake negative results for an exercise test but then again she’s been successful at getting what she wants. So who knows.
