Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days BUT I had another little event take me out just about one month after my previous Saturday jaunt to the Emergency Room immediately before Christmas. This time it was for a heart attack (which I was hoping would turn out to be a 'panic' attack - no such luck). I am writing this at home today after a double stent surgery at Christiana Hospital in Delaware last night. Kudos to the staff at Union Hospital both in the emergency room and in the stabilizing room after, for about a day and a-half before the trip to the Christiana Catheterization Centre and in particular to the care and advice of the Cardiac doctor, Dr Bowens. Their good treatment quite possibly saved me from permanent heart damage - though only time will tell. I have only heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the fantastic job by various crews at Christiana ranging from admission to the supremely trained team of professionals in the by-pass surgery. Modern medicine is truly fantastic when performed by such personal and professional people to whom I quite possibly owe my very life.
I might go into details of the event farther when my left arm - actually the wrist area - is farther healed over the next few days. It was through the main artery in the wrist that the catheterization was performed. This area is the major area of healing so I do not want to type for too long.
PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTION I HAVE ENTERED SINCE FIRST POSTING THIS ABOUT ONE HALF HOUR AGO - not double by-pass surgery but rather double stent surgery.
Disclaimer: my spelling problems are not surgery related, lol
Time to take it easy!! Perhaps, sippin on some fine whiskey would be suffice!!
