my husbands status

my husband is having an angiogram in the next few days in london to determine the status of his blockages and determine what further can be done to help him. for some of the oldies here you may remember that he was completely blocked 2 and a half years ago. he was sent home to live his life out and we asked for a second opinion. he was sent to sunnybrooke schulick heart centre in toronto and they used collagenese to soften a vessell at the back of his heart and insert a stent and this was in the stages of experimentation to see if this would work and it did for two and a half years. he was pain free and he had a good quality of life for two and a half years. it hopefully will be approved in eight years and in some ways may replace bi-pass surgery. my husbands bi-pass failed after one year and that was about five years ago now.his heart is in good shape but not the bloodflow to and from the heart. jessie

i will tell him then and thanks for the joking it helps to laugh for sure...he did find out while there in florida he was driving with an expired licence so i felt it was then best to return and now he is legal again. he forgot to renew it and since i dont follow him around and have never checked his wallet and he does not go through my purse unless i ask him to i did not know. so since november 2012 he has been illegal but yes the snow gear tends to say it all lol. by the way ice pellets sand freezing rain for to-morrow. byeeeee jessie

Hi My dear friend

Getting old is not for the faint hearted. I have been thinking of you and John over the last few days, more than ever. Hope your trip goes well and they can find a resolution to the probems. Sending all my love and best wishes to you both.

Right now, as I type this, I am very not liking myself! I have not been on the PM Site for awhile and when I do return to read and check on you all, I find bad news. This is not good.

I am totally in shock about Frank. Just read this tonight. He has been a PM Friend/Family since the middle of 2009. He, Smitty, and all of you have 'walked' me thru my very concerned times of my PM. I miss you'll.

Then I read about 'Pookie' tonight ~ still in shock. Glad to hear she was up beat and sounded good.

Then, now I am reading about your John! I am so sorry, but with all these modern miracles happening in the medical fields every day, we know the future will be brighter for John. My thoughts and Prayers to both.

I am not going to read any further tonight ~ afraid of more bad news form my Dear, good PM Friends.

Prayers and thoughts to you and John ~ PLS. keep us Posted. Take care and get plenty of rest too.

Love,
Carolyn G. in TEXAS ~ ~ ~

You know you're wired when...

You play MP3 files on your pacer.
