Who said a stent was easy?

Who said a stent was easy?
I guess they are when you get the one stent.  One was indicated by the

"Nuclear Stress - Rest Test." My anxiety's were well founded.

 

Once the surgeon was in there he saw 3 blockages not one. Yes it hurt. It felt like a very large person was sitting on me

It was finished at !:00. The DR felt I should NOT go home till 7:00. My darling daughter picked me up. So glad to be home. Now 4 days of taking it very easy. then I will feel much better.

Flash! Sunday morning, feeling a lot better, the discomfort is in the groin.  They went in 3 times I assume.
I have had great care.

Wow, major tune-up! Glad you're on the mend. Wishing you a happy new year!

Thanks Annette.
Did the grocery store today. Pretty easy, but I felt it. In the groin where I'm bruised big time.  It is fading.
Thanks again.

Don't overdo it. You do not want internal bleeding in the groin or a blood clot. Glad things went well. I thought I was going to have stents 2 years ago and ended up with 5 by-passes.

[Jerry]

I think by passes are when stents won't do.
I keep my leg straight when I sleep. No exercise,just short walks till Friday. I am assuming he will say " you are good to go."
Oddly I felt fine before, just got winded more easily.
Thank you

I hope that you are back to normal or near it now, Jerry!

I had a single stent placed 8 years ago, but had a MI during the angioplasty. That was the reason for the stent, my obtuse right CA was malformed. The groin pain was much worse than the slight chest pain. I had to give up sleeping on my side for a while, I swear I could feel the stent although the cardiologist said that was impossible.

I'm good maybe even better.  I still have dye in my system , but that will pass. No pun mended.
I don't feel I can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I can handle that.

Oh I am to take a blood thinner daily for a year.
