This is what recuperation looked like.....for 2 1/2 hours . And then this.... They are very concerned about internal bleeding and keep a very close eye on you after the procedure. All in all, I've had 4 catheterizations....1 from my leg and 3 in my wrist.Recovery from wrist is 1/2 the time as from the leg.

I had one put in 4 or 5 years ago, in and out the same day, it was a piece of cake.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I had one in 2007 through the groin. Kept me from having a heart attack due to 90% blockage.

2011 3 stents. Didn’t notice any difference the way I felt. I had a stress test last year and I was the first person they had that could complete the test in a long time. Made me feel good. They went through my groin and had a hard time to get bleeding to stop. I like the wrist idea.

2010 had 95% blockage on my widow maker and they went in through my wrist and put in a stint. The med I had to take for a year made me bruise easily.

dad just had 3 in September
your choices in our family seem to be get roto-rootered out and get stents or die from the heart attack
just one more thing I will probably be doing in 20-25 years
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My brother was having chest pains. Got checked out, found he had blockages. He had 3 stents inserted. He felt like a new man afterwards. That was over 5 years ago. Doing great ever since.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
