I have only one thing to say - B A R S T E W A R D S
Much nicer than GVC, doesn't go black either so won't gunk up your coils as bad, and just as good as Charlie's
Yes folks, I'm back but what a god awful time I've had, I thought it was going to be a more straightforward procedure, was even told by doc who got me to sign consent form that they would be going in through the wrist, which is much easier and quicker to recover from BUT when I got into the Lab the consultant decided he wanted to do more than just the Left Circumflex, and wanted to attack my Right Coronary artery again, so they ended up going through both the femoral arteries again - 3 hours in the Lab before they were done, went back up to recovery to be told I would be staying in overnight, possibly 2 due to the amount of contrast they had used again, had a bleed where the plugs had been put in, which left me sweaty & giddy, luckily one of the nurses was with me when it happened, and called the doc in and they stopped it - because the Cardiac ward was full, ended up staying the first night in the recovery room ( at least they brought in 2 proper beds, someone else had to stay as well, he escaped the next morning

), my hands look like a pin cushion and my groins are all swollen and bruised, Got a single room on the ward about midday and thought I might have been able to make good my escape last night, but they decided to keep me in until 10:30 this morning, the earliest anyone has managed to escape, haemoglobin levels back to normal after the blood loss (this was the hold up), and contrast flushed out of the kidneys.
It'll be a bit painful for the next couple of days and I shouldn't lift anything heavier than the kettle for a week, and hopefully that should be the end of it - don't know how many stents they put in but I could hear a lot of clicking when they snap them off and shunt them up the catheter, I'll find out when I go for the next review in a couple of months time.
