Angiogram Update

OldBones-Larry
8 18 158

I got home late in the evening last night. Having some discomfort at the entry site, but otherwise doing OK.

Preliminary report says there are no blockages and my bypass grafts look great.

The doctor could see no reason for the continuing chest pains and pressure.

They are not severe, just annoying.

I will check with the doctor at my next Gastroscopy and see if it could be something there. 

I will also talk with the Pulmonologist regarding possible causes in that field.

I also will be setting up ultrasounds for my lower extremities and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

I will get done with all of that just in time to start the entire cycle again. LOL

Take care of yourselves my dear family.

Travel safely on your quit journey. You can make it to being an EXsmoker. You have so much support here if you just ask for it.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
