Curt, best of luck.
You'll be home the next day, full of the devil, able to jog up a flight 
of stairs.


BTDT, I have the scars, 8 stents and 2 'Grand Openings'.

What is to be learned is that you do have cardiac disease, it is 
treatable, it will comeback.  Your mission is to take note and not deny 
it when it returns.  That will tend to keep further bad things from 
happening.

Re: [MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga

2010-01-27 Thread Peter T. Arnold
Very interesting to watch if they have a dedicated monitor.  My Doc 
replayed several time for me on my 1st one, 22 years ago.


Bad things happen to good folks, one partner about 40 years old in my 
Cardiology Group dropped dead while jogging.  It was devastating to the 
group.  For the last 10 years, the thrust by my Doc {Senior Partner} has 
been to keep folks in a quality lifestyle consistent with their needs, 
wants and abilities.


What will kill you for sure is ignoring the basic signs that are 
manifested in cardiac distress.

CABG (pronounced cabbage)=Coronary Artery Graft Bypass (i.e. Using  
leg vein)


LIMA=Left Interior Mammary (?) Artery (taking that artery and  
attaching it downstream of the block)


The vein bypasses have a more limited lifetime

I had to learn a bit about such when my dad went in for such; he went  
in for an ankle and ended up with a basket of veggies and a valve job.

A friend of mine retired early from his radiology practice when he was about 55.
When he was 61, he went on a 100 mile mountain bike ride the Sunday after 
Thanksgiving (this is in Michigan, where late November is not pleasant cycling 
weather). The day after that, he went to the fitness club to work out, and died 
on the incline board doing stomach crunches. He was the fittest he'd ever been

I wonder what the med student who got that cadaver thought.

Good luck Curt, it sounds trite, but they really have this stuff down now. I 
had angioplasty on my right femoral artery when I was 30 because it was 90% 
blocked at my knee. Then at 33 I had a fem/pop bypass on my left femoral 
artery which was also 90% blocked. The doctor had no idea how these 
blockages occurred at such a young age. The good news is it has been 22 
years and no recurrences in either leg. You will feel much better after the 
procedure.

Re: [MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga

Hi Randy,

Yeah with luck...

This is one of those things where I'm now finding symptoms that fit the 
diagnosis gee I have been feeling tired lately so with any luck I'll be 
firing on all cylinders again soon.

If you guys don't hear from me tomorrow you can assume I've gotten a stent or 
something. I should be back on Friday.

Good luck. Hope it all goes well.

I did not get a stent but did have the test where they put the tube in through 
the groin and then have a look
inside. Mine turned out fine apparently. The one thing I regret is that I let 
them give me the anaesthetic - did I
spell that right? They told me I could or did not need to have it. I asked what 
they recommended and ended up with
it. I was told I could watch the whole thing on the monitor but I don't recall 
much of anything due to the drugs. I
do remember the big clamp on my leg afterward to make sure I did not bleed 
while the hole they made clogged itself
up. They hauled me back accross town to another hospital and brought me lunch 
and then told me I was not to even
lift my head. Just lie flat on my back for another hour or two. Ever try to eat 
off of a tray overhead without
lifting your head at all? Especially the soup?

In any event, not trying to steal your thread but if all goes well it will be 
quick and easy and should fix your
immediate issues.

Randy

Doesn't sound fun, but much better than the alternative! Good luck!

Good luck Curt!

Getting the stent shouldn't be much worse than a cardiac cath,  
although my father said his cath was the worst thing that ever  
happened to him.


Stents are pretty wonderful things these days -- beats the hell out  
of a heart attach!

i remember my dad got a stent in the mid 80s and he didn't seem to suffer
greatly from the process

Ditto.  Best of luck, Curt.  I'm only four years older than you...
hang in there so I don't have to worry about my own heart.  ;)
