You thought I was going to say I STILL have a pulse, didn't you? But the 80% clogged artery was preventing blood flow to my left arm and no pulse could be felt in that arm. The stent placement was a success and I now have a strong pulse. PTL Only complication was bleeding at the femoral artery entry point so dr. had to "plug" it.
The stress test the other day found no other clogged arteries.
Now I get so sit in my recliner all day while my dd waits on my every whim. Can shower & remove pressure bandage tomorrow, drive to church on Sunday, and kayak next weekend if I want to.
Thank you all for your good thoughts & prayers. The procedure itself was a piece of cake....pound cake.
