I am going into the hospital early in the morn for what is a pretty common procedure nowadays--(prob a few here have had it) I am having angiaplasty done at 8:a.m.---bad stress test friday, Doc said plan on blockage and need for ballooning-stent-- I have been having bouts of pain with it going down to my elbows--also shortness of breath. If you don't hear from me by friday ----------------might be one of the statistics(hope not)--not really looking for sympathy (my own fault for not taking better care of myself) maybe a prayer tonight might not hurt! My mother had 3 seperate bypass surgerys--and died of conjestive heart failure---genes sometimes suck! Report thursday?? xxxxxx
