stepdad. I hope I'm able to drive 5 hours roundtrip when I'm 80! I
guess no matter how old you are you always want check up on your kids!
The procedure went well, though Dr Ringel quickly determined that the
balloon alone would not do the trick. This means we went to "step 2",
a stainless steel stent 17.5 mm in diameter and about 35 mm long. That
is slightly smaller in diameter than normal, but offer plenty of
bloodflow to the lungs. This also means I effectively have no
pulmonary valve, which still blows my mind! Again, being able to do
this depends on healthy lungs, so good thing the only I ever smoked
were my tires!
I'm resting fine, just looking forward to walking. They have me laying
down so I don't injure my legs where the 2 catheters were inserted. No
pain to speak of, which I'm liking!
Ann Marie is back. Must visit with her now! More later.
