Absolutely
It took two adjustments to get to where we are now. With the meds, and I do feel better.

Thank you John.
Me too.
I love technology
Another small thing to add to the wrap up of this cardiac event and the angiogram
One of the things done at the cathlab is “Heparinising” where heparin is introduced (injected) toward the end, to prevent clot formation on any of the catheters inside the heart vessels to prevent heart attack or stroke.
It means when the sheath is removed one can bleed a lot.
These are used at the entry site as its an artery and arterial pressure is high.
Inflated, the cuff is left on for two hours, pressure reduced in small increments every 15 minutes.
After discharge, Sally picked me up and brought me home.
I found a card and delivered at the back door some “flowers” chocolates and a note from work.
Very touched by that.
