Well I had the most invasive test of my life on Friday. A cardiac catheterization. Let's just say it is an interesting feeling to have your arteries treated like a sink drain while a surgeon uses a very tiny pipe snake to check for clogs. As a quick side note I found out I am immune to Versid. Supposed to be this great drug that will relax you, gave me 3 doses and I was more alert.
So I'm supposed to be sedated, not, and strapped to a table with minimal clothes covering my naughty bits incase they have to try this through my femoral artery instead of my wrist. Well I spent an hour watching the fluoroscope monitor light up my heart arteries with dye. It was very interesting to feel that I was laying there with a pipe snake in my heart and watching it twitch around pumping dye into my arteries.
Well what could be a graphical long story short, 100% clear. Crystal clear. Bacon is still my friend. I have one appointment left for pre op work and then hopefully get my date for surgery.
I am slightly perterbed on the delay and pain of the test, but it is amazing the peace of mind you get when there is no test better to determin your tickers health than you had and it is clear...
Well that's all from the edge right now. I'll blog again later
