Today is heart Cath day. Cheri and left the house at 10:30 am heading to the hospital for my 10:45 am appointment. Just to get in the hospital we had to have our temp taken and fill out a paper of questions then over to the main check in desk so Cheri could get a visitor pass. Then the long walk to the Day Surgury to check in and then up to the second floor to check in for the heart Cath. After a shot wait the came and got us and took us to the heart Cath lab. Cheri waited in the waiting room and I went in to get prepped for the heart Cath. At 12:00 pm I was on the operating table ready for the doctor. They went up through the groin and had trouble getting to my heart. The doctor said the main artery had a lot of turns and didn’t go straight. They finally got to the heart and found a large blockage which took two stints end to end to get blood flowing. So it was after 2:30 pm before I got to the recovery room. I had to lay flat on my back to get the opening in groin to close. After two hours they took out groin plug and then a nurse had to put pressure on it for twenty minutes. Finally by 5:30 pm I was in the room where I was going to spend the night. I had to lay flat on back not moving my right leg until 10:00 pm. My back hurts so bad I couldn’t sleep. I finally got to sleep around 12:30 am and short time later they woke me up to do the blood presser. I finally got to sleep around 2:30 pm. Cheri left the hospital around 6:30 pm as it was a long day for her sitting around waiting for me. And yes through the whole day we both had to have a mask on. Thank you God for getting us through the day and bringing back to good health.
