Damn, I wish we'd had det-cord when I went to school!
I was talking far broader than your facility.
Gunner, back from his angiogram...14 hours later
So, is a metal mesh stent in your future? eek
Nope. Of the 3 bypasses they did in 2009, 2 are open and free with no
blockage. The third is completely closed and is not fixable.
HOWEVER..the original artery has opened up and "is passing enough
blood" according to the heart specialist who did the angioscopy. For
whatever value "enough blood" is.
I had it done, as Ive been having some "issues". I did a treadmill
test 3 weeks ago, where upon I lasted 5 minutes before sputtering to
a halt like a fish on the dock. My heart beat never rose above 90
beats per minute during the entire testing proceedure. Which to
me..means there is a problem. I also tend to sleep more often..if I
eat ..I go to sleep. Im tired quite often. Some of this may be the
result of depression due to financial issues..but not all of it...so I
was proactive and had the proceedure done. Ill find out what the
specialist has to say next Thursday. Im far too young to be limited
by a "healthy heart" but artery issues...or a damaged heart.
A side note..it appears that bypass grafts are only good from 5-7
yrs..and Im already at the top end of that (my, how time flies) ...so
my lifestyle changes in diet and weight loss and exercise has done a
lot of good over those 7 yrs. I was told that my medication may be
the cause of the limited heart rate, so we will see what we shall see.
Im 2 weeks into a Chantex "stop smoking" program as well, with some
fits and starts...shrug. Im not qoing to give up this time
however...#21 attempt to quite smoking.
A further side note....my mother had Bradycardia..which is a condition
that her heart would not speed up past a certain point...and she would
be active and run out of blood..and pass out. Im starting to wonder
if I may not be subject to a genetic pass along..as it started being
visible when she was at about the same age I am. Again...its a
concern I raised with the cardiologist...and I will be getting answers
at my appointment next Thursday. My resting heartbeat, according to
the equipment in the recovery room..averages 47 beats per minute.
Other than that..Im doing ok for a well used and abused harmless
lovable fuzzball.
Thanks for asking.
Gunner
