Ribs

A Stent is not like a bandage. It is like a balloon that is opens up inside an artery to allow bllod to flow through it. They will run a wire through your main artery starting around yer groin area. Iffenya had any modesty before, ya won't after this. That is when I lost mine.

Be sure to shave as much "fur" off yer lower abdominal area because they will do that at the hospital..

You will be given a HALO drug. You won't be put under but you also won;t remember anything either. The heart doc told my wofe some dozen years I had about a 60 percent blockage in one artery. I do;t know if I still do or not but I passed a couple of stress tests with flying colors so it cant be too bad..

You will be fine and if this is all that is really going on, that would be awesome! Hope they get you stented and yer blood flows like normal once again !

Best to you!Thumbs Up

And now for some more exciting doctor news!

...the test I took last Wednesday told the doctor that I had congestive heart failure. Sometimes I get words or names mixed up in my head, especially it they start with the same letter. I have been telling folks I had Constipated Heart Failure. Anyway, I took a load of garbage to the dump this morning and when I got back his office had called again in my absence. They said I have "blockages" and that they are going to have to do a catheterization to see where the blockages are and then put in stints or do open heart surgery. A stint is kinda like wrapping duct tape around a leaky muffler to see if it will put out the 'check engine' light on ya dashboard. Since I wasn't there when they called, they 'splained' it to mz ribit who was crying.

"why ya crying?" I asked her.

She told me.

"Not to worry, I will draw you a map showing ya where all my money is buried before they work on me." She promised to give me a thorough ass kicking when I got better.

...anyhow, they sent out a prescription for Isosorbide Mononitrate until a day came around that the surgeon couldn't get a reasonable time to t off at the local golf course. I shall be alright and I am not looking for any "sympathy". WE can talk about it, just no sympathy. Ya know where Sympathy is found in the dictionary don't ya? Just want everybody to treat me the way ya always have.

...a friend of mine named charlie was scheduled for some serious surgery once and his wife was trying to get him to plan his funersl. "What would you like for them to play at your funeral" she asked.

"About a dozen hooters waitresses playing topless volleyball would be nice."

I agree!
