Other than I am still breathing the cardiologist appointment was not good. The good news was the echocardiogram showed my heart was strong with no scaring. And it showed I have no past heart attacks. The bad is my Calcium CATscan was horrendous. A calcium buildup 0-10 is considered great. Less that 10% chance of a heart attack. 11-100 is considered ok/good with a moderate chance of a heart attack. Over 400 is considered really bad with 90% chance of a heark attack. My main artery was 300. The one on the left was 800 and the one on the right was over 2000. So now we have to call their office manager on Tuesday to set up to have an angiogram/catherization. And depending on how major the blockages are they’ll put stints in right then and there. And then he’ll change my medications accordingly. And of course he said that it’s a very common procedure but there is a risk of complications (heart attack, Stroke, artery issues or Kidney or liver) maybe 1 in every 200. Watch with my luck I’ll be the one. Oh and I was told to stop exercising until after I get this done. Just think positive my friend. Let them do what they gotta do so you can get back on track I think I speak for everyone here in WF in wishing you nothing but the best. Keep your chin up you got this brother |

I'm glad they found the problem. We're rooting for you. |

Thanks guys.
The cardiologist’s office just called and scheduled the angiogram appointment. I have to have it on Friday September 6 at 9:30am. I have to be there at 7:30 that morning. Hopefully I didn’t just ruin our daughter’s birthday on the 7th.

Bought a box of Bud Light and it's sweet. Has it always been sweet? I don't expect even remotely quality beer but this tastes like sweet cornbread.

My Uncle passed away on Saturday morning, and I'm struggling to deal with it. Death is such a weird mix of emotions, and although it had become expected in the past few days, it still hit me like it was out of nowhere.

I only started posting in this thread after going to the hospital on Father’s Day…So I could have easily missed it. sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Losing a parent is tough and I wish I could say it gets better over time, but my father passed back in March of 1990 and I still miss him just as much every day. |
