realthogIt's been a long hard day at the hospital being angiogrammed and I'm feeling pretty washed up at the end of it, so I'll not prattle.
The good news is that my carotids don't need to be reamed. The left one's pretty okay, the right quite a bit less so but still not so worrisome as to suggest precipitate action. The plan is to keep an eye on it via an annual MRA.
Oh, and I'm to go in for my stenting on November 4. (Pam will have to vote by the dawn's early light . . .) The surgeon hopes to get all three done at once, but can't guarantee this'll be feasible: there's a limitation to the amount of contrast fluid that can be used in a single session, as too high a dose can cause the kidneys problems.
The bad news is that for the next few days I have to refrain from anything remotely strenuous, so I have to miss Thursday's orgy.

"there'll be more thursdays"
Yes, but on the other Thursdays we won't be having a visiting team from the DAR.

"the stenting on election day"
Pam was saying that for once I might want the hospital TV on. I pointed out that we should be out of there before the results start coming in.

I know it's necessary, but going cold turkey like this is truly tough.

Date: 2008-10-22 06:41 pm (UTC)In this same vein of thought I will refrain from commenting on Thursday's orgy. However, I will say this much: I heard a rumor that Tex Lautrec will be there, with his new squeeze Irma La Douche hanging on his arm.
Hang in there, Paul. I'm sending good thoughts your way (and actually keeping them clean, too!).

The standard of these orgies, even watching is strenuous.
