the ceiling. Well, doc decided that since she also found some
"non-specific changes" in my EKG, she wanted an echo cardiogram which
I had done yesterday. She also slapped me on Toporol (SP?) for
lowering my pressure. Fortunately, the echo was fine; she told me
that when she saw me today.

Anyone wanting specifics feel free to haunt me off list. It's a most
unusual problem. :-)
