Get the loop monitor installed Friday. Said I could use app on phone or have bedside thing that automatically uploaded data daily. I said I would use the bedside monitor. She thought that would be easier. I guess I could switch to app if I wanted? Don't know what you do if traveling, will ask. Said they would call if something showed up bad, otherwise I would never ever hear from them. I kind of wonder if a person even looks at the data or where it's sent. I would bet not local office? Just some computer program in some big corporations office. I will ask, said I could drive myself home. Some weight lifting and bathing restrictions for week or so.

@diverjer You are wise to get the loop monitor put in. I do think that the data is monitored, likely by the doctor's office who ordered the monitor for you. When you get the monitor installed on Friday, you can ask about who sees the data and how often and who will contact you if they have concerns. Since it just stays in place under the skin, travel shouldn't present any additional issues, as it should be able to transmit from anywhere you are. But that is a good question to ask on Friday too. Your friends on this forum are relieved about your decision, and will be interested in how your appointment goes. Please do keep us posted, and good luck. We are sending positive thoughts. 😊
