I am happy to report Cardiac Catheterization indicates my heart is in tip top
shape. I would strongly urge any person prescribed this procedure to take a
second Nuclear Medicine exam in a different hospital.

I did well on the exercise portion of the stress test. I only flunked the
Nuclear Medicine portion. If the Imperial Point Hospital Nuclear exam had been
negative I would not have needed to risk my life and undergo this procedure.
I should have insisted on a second test...

I recommend any of you faced with this procedure take a second stress test at
a different hospital before putting yourself through this... This should not
be taken lightly.

To all of you who sent me good wishes I do not have words to express my
appreciation.

Best always
Solar Fry
