Guys, thanx so much for the prayers.  Today is the first day that I have been able to get to the Internet.  My brother had angioplasty yesterday for 2 huge 90% blockages of the main coronary artery.  He is now doing well, and extremely blessed that he didn't have a really major heart attack from the blockages.  This heart attack turned out to be a good thing since it got him this angiopolasty in time.  I write more later when I get home some time tomorrow!

God is so good to us and I'm thankful He gets our attention before we have to endure a really hard road.  I know you feel better about your brother's situation now.  You and your husband take care of each other and have a safe trip home.  I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.

What wonderful news, Marilyn!!!

I hope that you will be able to relax a little bit when you get home.  This must have been a very stressful time! 

Safe travel!

Glad your brother is doing well Marilyn.  In 2003, I had 5 heart attacks in 2 days and they found 100% blockage in one artery and 65% in another.  They removed the blockage and inserted a stent in the one artery> They said they don't bother with anything less than 80% blockage so they didn't do anything to the other. I have done fine so far, except that after the heart surgery I packed on the pounds because they had me on so many meds I couldn't function normally, let alone exercise. They say my heart is very strong now, but the extra pounds are gonna get me if I don't do the WLS.
