Good morning all - the operation evidently went well - what I ended up having is called an angioplasty - basically they go in through the femoral artery in your leg with a catheter and look to see what is blocked and needs help. In my case my entire right side main artery out of my heart was blocked so they installed 3 stents in the artery to force it open and increase the blood flow to the places its supposed to go
Seems to have completely gotton rid of the angina I was having - I couldnt walk to the mailbox without taking nitro to relieve the pressure on the heart.
Im home now with my 3 dogs and 4 cats and they were really happy to see me
Basically Im really not supposed to drive for a few days and do much of anything so I will be on the computer most of the time - at least till the closure they put on my femoral artery heals so I dont bleed out LOL
Thank you so very much for the well wishes - it was wonderful to see when I came in this morning - now Im off to clean up a few pet "mistakes" and get some coffee to jump start the body out of its morphine induced haze
