GREAT NEWS!

I am home following my cardiac catheterization procedure done yesterday in Syracuse. I am so relieved to report that ALL FOUR of my coronary arteries are in healthy shape and will not require any surgical intervention! So that clears the way for me to be eligible for my aortic valve repair without open heart surgery!!

I am now recommended for the new intervention done via catheterization with access via the femoral artery. Prayers up and fingers crossed that my insurance will approve this intervention for me! My surgeon's office will contact the insurance company and should be back to me with a surgical date within two weeks.

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
