Holding a good thought for you Arlo.   Let us know how it goes!

Thanks, South! Plannin' to fly this summer.

Good luck Arlo, you'll be ok.  New technology is always making procedures like those better.
Watch for clots, I just had the pleasure of a deep vein clot and it broke and hit my lungs.  Yay Me!  Two weeks unable to walk, one week on my back, one in a wheelchair, I'm up and around again past two weeks now.  Just do what the doctors tell you!

Holy Moses, ROC! I'm more worried bout you than me!

You’ll do fine Arlo.  I experienced an angiogram several years ago.  It was pretty much a non event in the big scheme of things.  Follow the medical instructions and it’ll be a thing of the past.

I'll take care of herself, too.

My son had a heart surgery via a catheter in his legs. Was a complete success but hair raising for any parent. He came out tired but was his usual self within 24 hours - not bad for a procedure that required open heart surgery 5 years ago. With the new way of using your own veins to tunnel their way to your heart and do work, it's amazing.

I should have been more specific about the plug - it's no big deal, just one of the primary things they say to watch, as if they move too much after you leave the hospital, you just have to put pressure on it and go back to one and have it reinserted.  This almost NEVER happens, extremely rare, but it is the thing to watch for is all.  Don't worry Arlo, you'll blow though this just fine.

Thoughts are with you today Arlo.  Be well my friend.

[Arlo]

You guys were right. Piece of cake. Gotta type one (left) handed because they went through the wrist instead of the groin (though they prepped me for either/or). Wide awake the entire time. No stints or bypasses. Same modified diet I was already on but increased exercise was stressed. Nurse gave me a weird look when I asked how soon before I can grab my joystick.

Great news, Arlo!

[ROC]

Good news!  So glad it all went well!

Maybe she was worried you were going to use hers.
