I'm having an angiogram tomorrow

And oddly enough I'm looking forward to it!!! I had one about 18 months ago and it was found that I have two arteries that were 50% blocked. I've been wearing the nitro patches ever since in the hope that this would improve things. I had a stress test a couple of weeks ago that indicated that, if anything, the blockages are worse. Great, I had just started a rigorous personal training routine, and I'm told that the most I'm to do is light cardio !!!! So, I put my trainer on hold and basically turned into a slug for the last few days. Yes, I have been in Egypt (in denial..........LOL......gettit???) because I HAVE noticed minor chest pains etc.  So, tomorrow, I want to be stented. I want this issue resolved so that I can GET ON WITH MY LIFE and not worry about dropping dead doing so. So, wish me luck tomorrow. I'll be back. Hmmm, I wonder if the hospital has wireless access.....it's more than likely going to be an overnight stay.

Good luck to you tomorow with your angiogram. Hope all goes well. Paulette

Thank you Paulette.  I'll report back in afterwards.

Hmmmm Kerry, I'm surprised we haven't met before.. .. I've been traveling Egypt for quite a while.. .. especially denial. .. Will have you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Take care of yourself.. .. Let us know what you find out. Millie

I"m blonde on this Egypt stuff, I do egyptian dancing so haven't a clue what your talking about...

They mean "Queen of De Nile" - like Cleopatra in Egypt, but the real meaning is "Queen of Denial"... Julia

awwww that's new one for me..... Thanks for the explanation.

Kerry, I will be keeping you and your healthcare people in my prayers. Please keep us posted on how things are going and make sure that you take care of #1~YOU! Remember you mean a lot to all of us and a lot of prayers are going up for you. We are a major group of prayer warriors on here. Sending you love and lots of hugs your way.

Hi Kerry, I'm sure everything will go well. I am constantly amazed with the progress in medicine in the last ten years. 30 years ago my Dad died of a heart attack at 51 after having several lesser attacks but there were no real treatments then. Now they keep people going for many years- a stent here, a pacemaker there... I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Try to be calm. Julia

Thank you everyone, I'm about to leave for the hospital. I'll report in as soon as I can. Cleopatra!!!
