just dodged a heart cath

Post by Clark »

Potential blockage and the need for stent(s).

But, I don’t have to do that. I’m special. No stents for me. Nope. Not gonna happen.

Stents are made of a metal alloy that contains nickel.
I’M ALLERGIC TO NICKEL :mad:

Ain’t this a fine kettle of fish?

Can't they use wartime silver stents?
"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

I'd special order one made of a 1907-s $10 eagle in PCGS 63.
Insurance will cover it. WTH

My dad started to have a grabber in 1985 when he was 51. He didn't want to go to Grapevine Memorial so I drove like a bat out of hell down old Hwy 157 to Arlington General ..... most of it on the shoulder in rush hour traffic. A fuggin cop finally pulled me over and I told him the deal and he says "follow me". What a ride!!! They did the angiogram with a cath up the leg and found a 95% blockage. Put in a stent and he was good to go ... at least until around 2005 when he finally need a quad bypass. :shock:

He made it another 10 years after the quad ... so, youse two should have at least 30 to go; hopefully closer to 50 :wink: whistle:

Gonna do a noninvasive heart scan. May not need options, which would be nice. Haven’t gotten far enough to know the options.

My holter month showed indications. And the echo. That’s what they’re going off of.

Seriously Clark, stents are a breeze. I have two and each time it was life changing as a hard core hiker. If they can't do a stent then bypass is necessary and that sucks. But I am not a doctor, I only play one one the OFR. :wink:
