Talking I'm Baaack!

I made it thru! Had what is called a restenosis, basically my stent from 11 years ago was closing up again. The doc said I was VERY close to a heart attack.
But all went well, and he said all my other arteries looked good.

How cow man! Looks like they really roto-rooted you. Must have a huge increase in blood flow thru there. Bet you'll feel a LOT better in a few days.
Glad to hear they got you fixed up before an event.

You're a fortunate sonufa*****.....my initial angiogram indicated nothing wrong,1 year later it was all clogged!

Poor imaging? weak dye?who knows...........

I'm still on the coumadin,lopressor and digoxin as the arrhythmia is still extant,in addition to rheumatoid arthritis so count yourself lucky.

Best of luck to keep ol' scratch from comin' to git ye........
