I had no idea that I would have to wear a gown, so that was interesting to begin with. I was already nervous after everything I was told yesterday about how the medication that tricks your heart into thinking it’s exercising since they said yesterday and again today that it is an extremely unpleasant experience. They were right, to a degree, it made me feel terrible, but not nearly as much as I had worked myself up to 🫣

Thankfully, I was able to help put someone else’s mind at ease who was waiting to have the same tests as me, that involved the same medication. She and her daughter (hi 👋) were both pleased to hear me say, that I would choose the medication over using the treadmill if I ever have to do these tests again ☺️

I’m sitting on my bed with my electric blanket on underneath me. I turned it on so that it would be warm when I got home. Halfway through the morning, I was thinking that I shouldn’t have as it’s a nice day outside now, but, since it’s freezing inside my home right now, I am glad I did because I don’t want to turn the ducted heat on and warm my entire house when I am fairly certain I am going to either keep studying my notes, for my first assignment, which is a multiple choice and short answer quiz, based on the first five weeks of content, which is worth 30% of my grade 🤓

Yesterday I was so happy to see that I had completely messed up my dates regarding my first quiz since I thought it was opening next Monday the 7th of August but it’s actually the 18th until the 24th of August. They are open for a week but once you start you only have a certain amount of time to complete it 🫢

In realising this, I also became aware that the written assignment based on watching a movie through the eyes of a clinician is due on th 13th of September. This means I need to make a start on it asap. I think I will watch the movie this afternoon. Watching it from the beginning to end the first time without taking notes, since it will be easier to go through it a second, third or however many times I need to for the assignment 🧐

I have had a lot of spiritual signs and communication today, many in the form of conversations with people in the waiting room. To be completely honest, I gave the details of this channel to the daughter of the person I talking to, to help them feel ok about the tests, but, I kind of regret not asking for her details since they live close to me. They were telling me about how their dog always knows when it’s 4 pm and time for a walk. If I had thought about it, I could have asked if they might be interested in catching up 😁

If you met me in a waiting room in a hospital this morning, and are interested in connecting in the real world, please go to my ‘About’ page which has the email address I use for this channel and my website. Please don’t list private information in the comments, including the area we are located in, since I keep those sorts of details private 🤗

I felt like I needed a nap when I got home, but my Ritalin has obviously kicked in because I am feeling more awake and alert 😝

I’m going to finish this off by saying, I find it hilarious how much I have typed for a less than 30 second video 🤣

1:41 pm

This had to stay in for a while after the first part of the test, “just in case”. I had my jacket on to keep warm and kept forgetting to be careful while moving my arm. 😅

It is now 3:13 pm. I have read some uni notes, and spoken to Cassidy on the phone. I am in a lot of pain today, especially in my neck and shoulders. Just sitting up is making my neck hurt more and more. I am absolutely going to have to put something on it to help. I think the magnesium cream might help. Or at least I am hoping it does.
