The angioplasty which stretches out the artery is by far the most painful this time around..Went in through my right wrist so it went across my chest to my heart..The others didn't hurt much, but this feels like they danced on my chest.
Oh well..this is what happens when you smoke and live long enough. I gotta finally quit these damned things..
I might live as long as my old man if I can quit.. He made it to 93..although I'm not sure I want to make it that far and need home health care every few days.. 75 sounds like a good age to meet my maker.. That'll give me another 12 years..
Were you awake? I've had two caths, but was asleep both times. First one they woke me up to tell me I needed to go to emergency surgery because my LAD was 99.999% blocked and I would not walk out of the hospital alive. Second one, they woke me up to tell me everything was still clear. Thinking of going in and asking for another one since it's been awhile, but you're the first person I have heard was awake for it.
