Well, all but the labs. Everything basically came back fine. The holter came back with a few moments of high bmp (130-145). But over all nothing that looked too terribly weird. He was just concerned about the parts with high bmp. The doctor said he could tell I had open heart surgery and my "heart muscles" looked thick like they had to work "more". But he said over all the surgery looked very well done, just a lot of scar tissue. He did say he wish she would have took more video from the lower heart area but not so much that we would redo it at this time. I am to stay off all my meds and cut the caffiene and chocolate. DAMN IT TO HELL! :-) Oh for the love of my heart!
I have also decided to go ahead and get that dance mat to help work out and I am going to watch what I eat a bit more and *gasp* drink more water. Hopefully by the time I see the doctor in March, I will have lost 5lbs, give-or-take.
My thyriod levels should be back in the next few days, apparently they only do those 2 times a week and I am not sure which batch mine got into. Hopefully no later than Wednesday but prefferably some time tomorrow.

I have the Dance Dance mat at home but haven't used it in a dog's age. As far as I know, I can't think of a funner way to get excercise. Good luck with it!
Glad your test results were ok - I've done the holter and echo before several times - I've got Mitral Valve Prolapse and mild hypertension due to kidney damage from a childhood illness.
If you continue to have tachycardia episodes, a beta blocker might help.
