Glad to hear you're doing better. Listen and trust your cardiologist's opinion.
Hang in there!!!

Had an appointment with the cardiologist yesterday. She went over the details of the intervention that took place. I was 95% blocked in the two main arteries that feeds blood to the heart. The LAD (widow maker) was treated first given this is the major blood supply to the heart. I received two stents. I had to wait until the next day for the second artery to be addressed. That artery received 3 stents. She said the plac in both arteries were mushy and didn’t appear to be near calcifying. Calcification means the arteries are hardening from the plac which puts me near having bypass means bypass. In my case bypass is not an option at this time.
I should note that I had another artery that was blocked 20-50 percent which at this time will be treated with drugs. As of now I’m scheduled for further test that will address the arteries in the legs and arms. Also, the heart appears to be undamaged.
I make it a point to stay out of Walmart.Remember what I told you about the girls of Walmart. If you don’t smile and laugh 10 times a day work harder at doing so.

Glad you're still with us! You're among my favorite members on here. I've never had heart issues, but it's been a big worry of mine. I'm sure I have it coming.Two Stents two years ago after my fourth Heart Attack. I'm on Warfarin because eliquis isn't covered under my plan so I have to do monthly INR testing and increased my vitamin k intake. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.
Sounds like you really dodged a bullet. I'm glad they got it taken care of.Had an appointment with the cardiologist yesterday. She went over the details of the intervention that took place.
