No more caffeine

Well, I am not allowed anymore caffeine until after tomorrow, when I have a stress test. My doctor has requested I have a stress blood test to check for blockage.

Apparently my family history (father, grandfather, great-grandfather and multiple uncles all died in their 50s after having multiple heart attacks) convince him that I was one to watch.

So tomorrow morning I go to the doctor, get shot up with radioactive junk. Have a picture taken, then run on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Then they take another picture and look for blockages.

This would all be fine, but I would like a cup of coffee! Oh well, no caffeine for 24 hours, I can handle it. If I go home and don't answer the phone!!!! Wait, there is Xanex in my desk. Ahhhhhhhhhh........
