Island Of Misfits

Asking for prayers - my wife had a heart attack this afternoon, she is in the hospital in KC. They are still running all kinds of tests, doing an echo in the morning. Said something about a stint, but not sure yet. I will update as I find out anything else

I've had open heart surgery and then a stint several years later.
The stint won't take long and after it settles into the artery she will feel 10 times better. She will be awake through the whole thing but on the happy medicine. She shouldn't feel much at all.
Just tell her after the stint do not strain at all,,not even going to the bathroom. Straining can cause the stint to come loose. It has to become part of the artery.
They will put her on a blood thinner and a low dose aspirin per day. After a few weeks she will notice a big difference.
She doesn't smoke cigarettes does she? If so it will be a good time to stop. Tobacco narrows your arteries.
It's horrible for your heart.
Oh and tell her to drink lots of water. That fking dye they put in your arteries is horrible for your kidneys.

Was it a bad heart attack, or a mild one?
Hoping for mild.

I would say it was mild, so hoping their interventions work

They are pretty good if they catch it in time before much damage to the heart muscle is done from lack of blood flow, if they get the stent put in and restore the blood flow she should recover fairly well.

You guys OK? Something weird is going on here. 'Bout an hour or so ago, this big, glowing ball appeared in the sky. Hurts yer eyes to look at it. Feels warm on my skin. Are we under attack? Should I find my lead lined skivvies?

You talking about a catheter for a pee bag?
Is she having problems going to the bathroom?
