Wow Kath,
I am so glad I got on the boards when I did. Now I can include you in my prayers! Mind your daughter, okay?

Thanks all and hi Cori

I can't believe the how different I feel. I honestly feel very good with renewed energy. I really did not realize how fatigued and sick I was until a few days after the stent was put in.

I still have the long blockage on the left side but we think that will work with medication.

It is strange to me that everything happens on my right side. Even the 90% blockage... can't blame that on obpi but there is a certain irony about it.

Thanks for the prayers they help a great deal

Kath,
How are you doing now? I hope you are much better.

Thanks Joanie for the good wishes.

I feel so much better it is unbelievable. I really did not realize how fatigued and exhausted I felt. I felt good within a day or two and so much better than I had for over a year. Now I know why I had some of the pain in my unaffected arm and chest. It's amazing how much more energy I have and how I did not realize how bad I felt...

Women are so bad when it comes to paying attention to their aches and pains. I'm lucky I have a cardiologist who pays attention to details. He knew I could not describe my pains due to obpi and then proceeded with necessary testing. Doctors need to be more aggressive when it comes to testing women for heart disease.
