Chilli..just went in this morning for what was supposed to be a heart catheter
procedure to put a stent into one of the heart arteries...piece of cake. Here's a
repost from another thread:
"Well, that was a different kind of experience.....
Went through the whole procedure, but when the doc pumped that contrast
stuff into my heart they all acted a bit shocked...apparently, my heart is very clean
and clear of blockages...
So, I asked the Doc...I go through all those tests, and you scare the livin' shite out
of me.....telling me I've got an 80% blockage in a heart artery and how I'm lucky I haven't
had a heart attack, and then when you get in there you find that everything is
just peachy? WTF?
Truly, I'm super happy about it, but it sure is going to cost me a bunch only to find out
my heart is just fine. Oh yeah, and I'm not supposed to lift over 5 lb. with my right arm for
the next week..guess they worry that the artery they poked that catheter into is going to
spring a leak. They also said I'm off dishwashing duty for the week...
