Title: RedTop says thanks to all
Post by: RedTop on March 17, 2006, 10:14:16 AM
Well, here's the scoop.

1st , I want to thank you all for you kind thoughts and prayers. It means alot to me and my family.


I know some of you don't believe in a higher power. That is OK to. Me , I believe in God. I try , although I let my mouth get to me at times , to be a good christian.

As of last Friday I for sure had a blockage in the left ventricle. Doctor was going to have to do a stint. He was pretty sure he would anyway as he didn't think the balloon route would do the trick. He talked to Debbie (my wife) and I yesterday before the surgery about everything. Told us he was going to look in my neck , arms and near my brain while he was in there, since I had another issue with blood pressures in my arms. My stress test showed abnormalities and the nuclear stuff showed the blockage that they had been looking for.

To make a long story shorter , when he got in there , the blockage in my left ventriclle was gone. Everything looked fine in all the other areas as well. The pressure in my left arm that was so much worst than my right was now back up and the same as the right.

He has no explanation at all and just simply said , he wasn't sure where it has gone but that it's not there now.

I'm sore today. I have to take it easy for 3 days then I can resume normal activities. I have to see the Doctor in 2 weeks for a follow up but as of right now things look better.

They still may want to send me to a nurologist for the mini Stroke issue , but my heart looks fine.

You figure it out.

RT,

They got you on blood thinners still?  Curious 'cause the stuff causing the blockages could still be floating around looking for a hole too small to squeeze through, and then...

Anyhow, just curious what they're doing for follow-up and long-term care given the circumstances.  Don't wait too long for the neuro follow-up since it sounds like you have more than one blockage issue going on at once.

Thank you all.

So far things are looking pretty good. I had what should be the last 2 tests today. If they came out good then I am done I think.

No special blood thinners or anything at this point.

My cholesterol is 130. Blood pressure today was 98/57  heart rate 62.

Right now they are or at least seem to be dumb founded. :lol

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and thoughts. They really have helped.

I have started the no smoking thing now and eating more wisely. Even tho my cholesterol is GOOD I still think my diet needs revamping. If you all knew me you would agree I'm sure.

Any changes , I'll be sure to let you know.
