I spent the morning with a Cardiologist reviewing my recent test results. This Friday at ten a.m. I am scheduled for an Angiogram and very likely the insertion of a stent (or stents) to improve blood flow to an area of my heart. The Cardiologist is pretty sure I will need one stent, and feels normal function can be retored... He said I should feel like a new man a day or two after the procedure.
I am nervous about any invasive medical produre, but excited that I may have my energy and endurance restored! I hope things can be fixed with as few stents as possible, since my insurance/HMO covers them @ 50% and they cost $4,000 each!
Prayer covering Friday will be greatly appreciated.
