I have one comment though, and that is the doctors, labs, blood takers, etc., want to schedule all the follow ups and re-rests at THEIR convenience. You can insist they do all that stuff at YOUR convenience, especially if you want to travel. If they have to stay home in freezing winter what do they care that you want to go to a warmer climate, so please stick up for yourself. Best of luck with your recovery.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-65984049147976251612011-11-23T16:52:36.194-06:002011-11-23T16:52:36.194-06:00Rod, I have a friend at home in Victoria, B.C. who...Rod, I have a friend at home in Victoria, B.C. who had that same surgery last year and he is doing just fine now - no problems whatsoever!<br /><br />Glad to hear you're home for Thanksgiving - Turkey and Football!!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-36734115778452988572011-11-23T16:45:30.611-06:002011-11-23T16:45:30.611-06:00that is the surgery that Miss Ella has had twice b...that is the surgery that Miss Ella has had twice but they only left the stint in for a week.

I find the whole thing fascinating I got to see the TV of Donna's heart procedure and it was so neat to see the little veins in the heart that had been starved of blood filling up again after the stent was in.It really hits home when you think about how just a few years previous, she would have been doomed to a major heart attack.
