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. :-)
