I have a heart cath coming up this Friday 09/22. Really could use a few prayers! Have had 4 stents in the same place (rca) praying it's not the same spot. Doc thinks it is the rca or one of the smaller vessels may be 70% or so blocked. Be in prayer for one of the smaller arteries and not the RCA , because they will not re Stent that area, they will have to by -pass it 😳. I really really don't want that.... Was really looking forward to this year's HHC with the Reeder group but gonna have to sit this one out on the cath lab table.
Thanks in advance for your prayers and will keep y'all up to date.

To help know what's coming, ask your doctor about a cardiac plaque score. 15 minutes in the radiology unit and they can tell you what the probability of a heart attack is in the next 10 years. It cost me $100. It's good preventive information.

Wishing you the best! The waiting and not knowing were the worst for me.

Wishing you the best! The waiting and not knowing were the worst for me. Exactly! I know that it's in the Lord's hands,but thinking the worst is in the back of my mind! The first 2 stents I didn't have time to worry about it, had Stemi in 2017 age 39. Nstemi last year, Those first set of stents had a blood clot that had formed in them that was causing trouble last year (thanks covid) Lol. Don't know about this round, trying to head off another MI. Have had almost 3 weeks to think about this one... I'm not used to that ha ha, but trying to listen to the ol ticker better. The new med is something to get used to Imdur ER 60mg ... whew!

Listen to what your body is telling you. When a Dr gives you a new med it an experiment. They know how it should work but we are all different in our makeup and how we react to a new med. Don't be afraid to tell them how the meds are affecting you good or bad.

I've got three stents of my own, praying for good results and The Lord's Peace throughout.
