Janie I was sent to a cardiologist against my will. I say against my will since I just kinda knew that wasn't my problem. My problem was migraine which is vasular to be sure but not cardio.

If you knew Married with children I was like AL Bundy in the way he would put his hand in the waistband of his pants at the small of his back to help his aching back. But I asked the doctor for help for migraines and not my back or my heart.

What happened was that after a shower my hand would suddenly turn blue. It was an odd but pretty blue that bordered on lavender. It so happened my doctor at the time spotted the blue left hand and sent me packing to the cardiologist. I told him I was not that worried about the blue hand since it didn;t seem colder than the other hand or feel different in any way. The more I thought about it however I could imagine more differences every day.

The blue hand got worse and would turn a deep blue that could alarm anyone who noticed it. I was becoming convinced that the blue hand was really different from my other hand. It felt dofferent, maybe colder maybe tingly maybe in an indescribable way alien.

I cured the blue hand by throwing away the shirt made in Bangledesh that I got at K mart. It would turn anything blue in the presence of any moisture, be it my hand or a full load of laundry.

Anyway Janie things are not as they may seem. Sometimes your first notion is correct. Worry can convince you of the oddest things, even if things like a blue hand isn't all that odd at first blush.
