BlrwestSiR 12,825 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Stay strong Harv! Sounds like when I got my angiogram. They started one in my wrist (SOP) then decided on a second one in my groin after what they found wasn't what they were expecting. At least they have the back up plan ready and are thinking ahead. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One for the stint and the other for a heart pump just in case its needed. Don't mind saying I'm a little nervous.....harv We’re with you buddy, stay strong.

Spitfire 480 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I may be a bit strange but I was fascinated when I had my angiogram, seeing everything on the big screen was amazing, I haven't looked back since and that was 6 years ago. Just follow the doctors orders and you should be fine. Cheers Dennis 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep us posted , bud.... Hmm, I didn't get a weight put on it. They had an attractive intern put pressure on it for me. I was too distracted to really pay attention except when they checked if the artery had closed and it hadn't yet. I know because I saw my blood hit the ceiling light.

Jeff 7,347 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Carl, when I had mine put in at VGH in Vancouver back in 2006 they went in thru my right groin, and inserted the stent and when they were finished I had to have a bag about a foot around, that I'm sure was filled with lead shot to hold the area well closed so I didn't bleed out, was there for about 1/2 hr or so....... and you , you lucky dog got an 'attractive intern' ? HUH..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlrwestSiR 12,825 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Yea, it was the only perk I got while I was in. Everyone else told me I was too young to be in there. I think they meant I looked too young. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf Buddee 143 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Harvey, Sorry I’m a little late to wishing you all the best but I’m certainly glad your surgery was a success and you’re doing well! Boy, the things you’ll do for a little attention, eh? I bet, if you weren’t so ticklish, Bev could o’ fixed you up with a pair of pliers and an ice pick. In all seriousness though I’m so very glad you’re doing well post surgery and I wish you a painless and speedy full recovery. Take care and give my regards to Bev! Cheers, Wolf 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
