Stuffed Sausage

I had to go early yesterday morning to get a holter monitor put on to measure what my heart does during a typical day. We went to CVCA in Annapolis where Jamie shaved some of my chest and taped on some wires and things to listen to what goes on inside of me. Then she squished me in a neoprene vest with Velcro on it. Just an FYI Pyr hair and Velcro are not a good mix. I was not comfortable at all and looked silly even though AP kept lying to me and telling me I was handsome. It was like being a stuffed sausage. I tried to get her to take it off.


I gave AP my best "I am mad" look
 
Then I tried to look real pitiful.










Nothing worked and I was stuck wearing it for 24 hours.

It was hard to walk down the steps
I couldn't get comfortable

It was hot on my evening walk
It was a long night and I didn't sleep much. AP and I went real early this morning to get it taken off. Jamie got it all off of me and was careful when pulling off the tape but I was still irritated and itchy.

Itchy Spot
I am so happy that it is off and I hope I never have to wear it again. AP says the results will be back in about a week and then we will know if my heart is doing OK.

Ahh no more vest!!!
