1-year angiogram checkup tomorrow to see how my stent and re-coiling is doing. I'm feeling good, so I'm hopeful. I'm not really nervous, more anxious. We leave for the UK next month and I'm hoping for a clean bill of health. I'm going anyway, but I don't want to be thinking about it while there.

Oh Best of Luck Heidi
A whole flippin day in the hospital but these Angiograms must be done. I know you are an expert at them but still remember to take it very very easy the first week after. NO heavy lifting or bending pushing pulling etc - it's SO easy to forget that.
You are a delicate violet for at least 3 days!!!
I am sending good thoughts for a most positive outcome!sigpic Tropical Trish

A Good Report!
Good report at hospital. Dr. said things look good. I'll still have a follow-up in his office on 4/23 but we're cleared for the trip. VERY relieved. I am sore and need to take it easy & drink those fluids, but other than that, no complaints. Fantastic staff in the Radiology Dept. at Maine Med.
Thanks to all of your prayers and support. {{{{Hugs back at 'ya}}}}

That is Excellent Heidi !!! Great news.
Oh yes now please do take it easy - unless a person has actually gone thru an Angiogram then they don't know what a long long day it is and how intrusive and how long the dratted recovery flat on your back is.....
You have just had a major operation Kiddo - so DO take it easy! I know you are but you are off travelling soon and if you are like me - well then you are tempted to well....just drag them big ol heavy suitcases out and start packing and such!
No Heidi - bad. You just sit around for a few dayze and make lists. That will do you well!
I know you will be good. :)sigpic Tropical Trish
