About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed on June 13th after my echocardiagram. I am scheduled for my cardiac angiogram Friday, July 7th. Then I meet my surgeon on July 14th.
UPDATE: First thank yous to those who sent good wishes for my scheduled surgery; and to the community, my apologies for not posting prior to this. Whether considered an excuse or reason, it is my story and a wild one from my perspective anyway.
I was at my daughter’s the last weekend of July and noticing that intermittent chest pressure I had been experiencing was really annoying me and the thought of the hour long bus ride home just seemed overwhelming. The pressure usually didn’t last very long but this time it wasn’t going away. So I told my daughter I thought I should get checked out at the ER. It took 3 nitro pills and a nitro patch before I felt relief, but then I was perky and ready to go home.
No such luck.
