When I had my 1st angioplasty 20 years ago, the kept me in hospital for 3 day.
I threatened to sign my self out AMA, they released me and I drove my motorhome
over about 400 miles on the worst roads in the country {D.C. to almost Boston}
No real reason for you to 'feel better'. As I understand it, all you had was
mild angina, WHICH SHOULD GO AWAY.
I've used Plavik for as long as it's been out. It's a little spendy at
$400+/month. It dramatically reduces the viscosity of your blood. Very small
nicks will bleed for a long time.

Subject: [MBZ] Back home
Came home yesterday, slept for 12 hours, it felt so good to be in my own bed.
Stopped at the pharmacy on the way home, I'm on a surprisingly small number of
drugs all things considered, I already was on a blood pressure med (HCTZ for
those playing at home, only 25mg) to which we add a cholesterol med (Ziocor)
and a blood thinner (I forget the name, like Plavix but newer) and nitro just
in case I have pains again.
The blood thinner is apparently quite an expensive drug but for reasons I don't
really understand the first year is free. After the first year I'm going to be
in a study testing how long folks should be on blood thinners after stents are
put in and again the drug (or placebo) will be free.
The pharmacy tech is a nursing student and was AMAZED when I told her I'd had
heart surgery yesterday. "You must have been in the hospital a week!" It blew
her mind (still impresses me too) that I went in on Wednesday and walked out on
Thursday... To my wife's irritation I walked from the hospital to the parking
lot across the street.
My boss asked me yesterday if I feel better, the answer is no but then again I
didn't feel bad before. Maybe after I catch up on my sleep I'll know more.
