Very interesting to watch if they have a dedicated monitor. My Doc
replayed several time for me on my 1st one, 22 years ago.
Bad things happen to good folks, one partner about 40 years old in my
Cardiology Group dropped dead while jogging. It was devastating to the
group. For the last 10 years, the thrust by my Doc {Senior Partner} has
been to keep folks in a quality lifestyle consistent with their needs,
wants and abilities.
What will kill you for sure is ignoring the basic signs that are
manifested in cardiac distress.

Good luck. Hope it all goes well.
I did not get a stent but did have the test where they put the tube in through
the groin and then have a look
inside. Mine turned out fine apparently. The one thing I regret is that I let
them give me the anaesthetic - did I
spell that right? They told me I could or did not need to have it. I asked what
they recommended and ended up with
it. I was told I could watch the whole thing on the monitor but I don't recall
much of anything due to the drugs. I
do remember the big clamp on my leg afterward to make sure I did not bleed
while the hole they made clogged itself
up. They hauled me back accross town to another hospital and brought me lunch
and then told me I was not to even
lift my head. Just lie flat on my back for another hour or two. Ever try to eat
off of a tray overhead without
lifting your head at all? Especially the soup?
In any event, not trying to steal your thread but if all goes well it will be
quick and easy and should fix your
immediate issues.

Subject: [MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga
So you may remember the chest pains I started complaining about a couple months
ago. We've been noodling along
assuming I had some kind of GERD and then last week the doc had me get a
cardiac CT just to finally rule out my
heart.
Last night he called, the CT looks iffy so I need a cardiac cath.
Today I talked to the cardiologist, I've got a 75% blockage on the ascending
whatsis (thats my technical term)
which is, as they say "bad". Worse still theres no guidance in what you do when
a 33 year old has 75% blockage.
Anyway it sounds like tomorrow I'm probably going to get a stent put in...
So I may not be on the list for a couple days and suddenly I'm not so worried
about he right side dash light in my
240D burning out, although I did order some LED bulbs to try out. Gives me
something to look forward to.
