And so the mystery deepens...! Official U/S results obviously need to be made by the Radiologist, but nothing abnormal seen in GB, liver, pancreas, spleen. One teeny tiny stone that was hard to find in my GB, and maybe a little bit of sludge, but seemingly not big enough to block a bile duct. Depending on Radiologist and Dr opinions, the next step will either be a Fraction Ejection test to see how quickly my GB empties (too slow would cause the biliary colic) or just a wait and see approach. As a side note, there is what looks like a very small cyst on my left kidney, and tiny stone in my right kidney. We'll see what they say about those, but I don't expect any worries.

Thank you for your love and prayers! Will keep yall updated as I learn more :wub:

And Bella thanks you!! It only took me 3 months and a gazillion tries to get an amazing pic of her :lol:

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!

Nic/Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've missed you, bud!!!!!!!!!!!! How's the superstar family?


Bovilina, my sense is that you will be fine. Also, after a 3-month interview, I'd say that Bella did KWITE well with her Mr. De'Ville!!!!

She really IS such a beauty. (Looks like her hu-mom)

Well... DP I had an angiogram procedure on Thursday the 2nd. Turns out my right coronary artery 99.9% blocked. The left arteries had been growing to the right side to feed the muscle. This most likely had been growing for a long time for them to grow there.
So now have 2 stents I get to wear. Other than burly vision the next day, I have felt pretty damn good.

OMG, Wharf! :(:(:(:(:(

You must have been feeling something, no? Pain or fatigue? No wonder you've been quiet. I assumed you just crazy busy since the last time we spoke.

99.9%??? You got lucky, didn't you? :ohmy:

I'M GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!!!

Are the stents in now? Do you notice an increase in your endurance?
Wishing you the Best WR.

I am OK DP!!! In October I had a stress test that at the peak, they shot a protein into my heart to see how much blood is flowing into and through the muscle. Previously I had a calcium test that showed how much, by scale, occluded the arteries were. The RCA (right coronary artery) was twice as occluded as any other artery. But that was on a scale, not of percentage.
So when they got in there on the RCA, it was blocked just from the fine wire they tried to insert.
This may have been blocked for years or decades. They are all kinda flipping out.

CMD I have 2 stents in the RCA. I do seem to feel better endurance than before.

They don't put me out completely out. I remember hearing the DR say the stent was 8mm short, so they inserted a longer one.

The thing I remember the most was I kept asking for cookies. During surgery... after surgery and before I conked out at 8 PM.

5 pm the next day, there was a double batch of oatmeal raisin cookies on the front door
..... and ate the last one this morning :)
