I had the angiogram procedure, last night. (That makes two angiograms in less than two
weeks. But who’s counting?) The cardiac team: 1) “installed” another
stent; 2) they did an “angioplasty” on an artery (that’s the technique where a
balloon-type device is used to open blockage); and 3) they did a rotor blade
technique to open up blockage in yet another artery. (The rotor blade is like a tiny drill and…
well you get the picture.)
I woke up 3 times during the angiogram process. That’s not a joke. I really did.
And I can report to you that it was… um, what’s the right word…? Oh
yeah: TERRIBLE!!! It felt like some
people were on the inside of my body (which they were) poking a pencil into my
heart. (They weren’t poking a pencil
they were just drilling through build up in my artery. It’s similar.)
But I’m still here and now the pain from the
procedure is gone and I am feeling much, much better.
I got home a couple of hours ago.
Thank you, once again, to everyone who was praying
for me. I cannot tell you how much I
love you and appreciate your support.
And, of course, I thank God for His mercy.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never
ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great
is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
