Heart Stent needed so no trip

[CookingMyLife]

That's the more or less bad news. However, the cardiologist said the one blocked artery is not terribly urgent but he advises not going. He will schedule Dick for surgery probably next week. The one interesting part is that the cardiologist is having thoughts about his doing the operation. He says since we are almost like family, he thinks he would prefer to have one of his partners do it. I get that but still it was a little twist.

Dick is fine with it all as am I, and I joked to him that he always has surgeries before I do e.g. cataracts, so if my time comes, I'll be familiar with the whole deal. That's some of what marriage late in life can be about!

Thank you all for your prayers, and it's good to know what 'is' rather than worry about what might be. Hugs, hugs, hugs. ::grouphug

hugs to you both Maureen...

((((hugs)))) I agree just knowing for sure even if it is not necessarily the greatest news is better than worrying and not knowing.

Thanks peeps. It's all good :thumb: tho part of me was really looking forward to those Christmas markets. Another year, since I watch those Vantage prices like a hawk all year long. Another part of me is just happy to be home for December and scrap away!

 

[nancyr]

[frani_54]

Hugs to you Maureen! So glad they did find out what it was and it is fixable....

 

[trista]

Glad you have some insight as to what is going on and can move forward. Though it is not the best of news, it is great to know. I bundled up a bunch of well wishes and am sending them your way Maureen.

 

[yvonnahenna]

I'll keep you guys in my thought!

 

[VickiStegall]

big, big hugs to you both! even though it stinks about the trip, nothing is more important than his health and you want him around to go next year and the year after that..... and the year after that and many more to come!

 

[cellomom]

praying prayers of thankfulness and for complete healing!! hugs to both of you!!

 

[faerywings]

oh no!
I literally *just* posted in your other thread that I was happy he was feeling good. I guess feeling good is one thing and needing surgery is another...

I am so glad to see that you have such positive attitudes on it, and my good thoughts are with him. Better to get this taken care of now then when its gets harder to fix.

hugs!
