Wake-up Call
Saturday, 12/19, I went to the doctor having symptoms of chest pain (very strong pressure in the center of my chest) and was referred, then admitted to Providence Hospital in Everett for observation, scheduled for a treadmill - stress test early Sunday morning. That test indicated there was a problem and immediately scheduled for the angiogram, which lead to angioplasty and four stents inserted. All four (3-Left, 1-Right) blockages were between 90 - 99 percent. I have a fifth blockage on the backside that is at 60 percent. I see the cardiologist 1/13/16 to learn more. I am doing ok, slowly getting back to normal, going for two or three short walks daily. Oh, and learning half my meal plate should be green.
