Wedding, MomMom, & Heart Health!

As mentioned earlier, heart issue sometimes happen at the wrong time, but is there ever a good time?  Yes!  5 minutes before my new daughter-in-law walked down the aisle, my son's grandmother had a mild heart attack!  She is home now & doing fine!  After a stent was inserted, she went from 97% blocked in one artery to 100% opened!  I was not as lucky!  Remember, I had to have open heart surgery!

Here is a stent review!  How are stents placed?

Doctors place stents in arteries as part of a procedure called angioplasty. To place a stent, your doctor will make a small opening in a blood vessel in your groin (upper thigh), arm, or neck.

Through this opening, your doctor will thread a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. The catheter will have a deflated balloon at its tip.

A stent is placed around the deflated balloon. Your doctor will move the tip of the catheter to the narrow section of the artery or to the aneurysm or aortic tear site.

Special x-ray movies will be taken of the tube as it's threaded through your blood vessel. These movies will help your doctor position the catheter.

And the wedding went on!

The Guys!

As I said earlier my son & new daughter-in-law handled the situation in amazing form!!  First, Mom Mom was put at ease & then the wedding & reception went off and everything was fantastic!!
