When I had my 1st angioplasty 20 years ago, the kept me in hospital for 3 day. I threatened to sign my self out AMA, they released me and I drove my motorhome over about 400 miles on the worst roads in the country {D.C. to almost Boston}
No real reason for you to 'feel better'. As I understand it, all you had was mild angina, WHICH SHOULD GO AWAY. I've used Plavik for as long as it's been out. It's a little spendy at $400+/month. It dramatically reduces the viscosity of your blood. Very small nicks will bleed for a long time. -- Peter T.

Stopped at the pharmacy on the way home, I'm on a surprisingly small number of drugs all things considered, I already was on a blood pressure med (HCTZ for those playing at home, only 25mg) to which we add a cholesterol med (Ziocor) and a blood thinner (I forget the name, like Plavix but newer) and nitro just in case I have pains again. The blood thinner is apparently quite an expensive drug but for reasons I don't really understand the first year is free. After the first year I'm going to be in a study testing how long folks should be on blood thinners after stents are put in and again the drug (or placebo) will be free. The pharmacy tech is a nursing student and was AMAZED when I told her I'd had heart surgery yesterday. "You must have been in the hospital a week!" It blew her mind (still impresses me too) that I went in on Wednesday and walked out on Thursday... To my wife's irritation I walked from the hospital to the parking lot across the street. My boss asked me yesterday if I feel better, the answer is no but then again I didn't feel bad before. Maybe after I catch up on my sleep I'll know more. -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
