December 23, 2022 at 3:38 pm #142235znModeratorthat’s great to hear ZN. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
my understanding of this is that recovery is basically just taking the right meds and being steadily healthy for months so it’s not like an invasive surgery it’s not quite like other things
December 23, 2022 at 7:45 pm #142236znModeratorI’m home. It was tedious being hospitalized for 4 days but I went from concerning chest pains to having a stent put it in, and here I am, not the least bit worse for wear and with a heart condition we caught very early and was fixed very well.
I appreciate the posts guys.
December 25, 2022 at 11:23 am #142248wvParticipantYou are still a force of nature, my friend.
Glad you are doing well.

Nature hasn’t been too good to me though. But then also not spectacularly awful either.
And honest thanks for the kind regards.
December 25, 2022 at 11:31 am #142250ZooeyModeratorWho among us hasn’t had a few stents, ammirite?
(Glad your well. This was a bit startling, as I’m sure it was for you.)
Merry Christmas.

Well it helped that I live with an RN. We caught it very early. I had chest pains, and they weren’t awful, just concerning, and it came with shortness of breath. She took a look at me, stethoscope and all, and then called 911 without even asking or announcing it. Just boom, call, ambulence, with her saying “be sure and take your phone and charger to the hospital honey” before I had said a word (“hospital??”) The dead giveaway was when the EMS guys in the ambulence gave me nitro and the pain immediately went away. That could only mean one thing. Nitro opens up arteries, so that means the pain was from blockage. At the hospital they tested me, none of it too arduous or painful, then they scheduled me for surgery and put in a stent. The stay wasn’t too bad–I had a good book with me (“Station 11”). People say I hope you have a good recovery but honestly it’s not like that, there’s no recovery per se–you don’t want to run a marathon quite yet but day to day is just normal, it’s more like replacing a sparkplug than repairing a damaged engine.
And here I babble on. Have you had a stent? Who else has had a stent?
Merry Christmas.
December 25, 2022 at 9:27 pm #142270canadaramParticipantNo stent for me yet.
Glad it worked out, zn.
December 25, 2022 at 9:47 pm #142272znModeratorNo stent for me yet. Glad it worked out, zn.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. But to be honest, the way the medical situation works, if a stent is not going to work, they know it in advance, and what they do then is step up to bypass surgery. So unless the surgeon is mind-numbingly incompetent, stents just work–if they aren’t going to work they know that beforehand and skip the stent and instead schedule a bypass.
December 26, 2022 at 1:14 pm #142293nittany ramModeratorRelieved that you are ok.

I have never had a stint put in my chest. That’s totally an old person thing. I am still young and vibrant, and if I put in just a year or so of training, I’m confident that I could build up to running a mile in less than ten minutes. So I’m not participating yet in this Death’s Door stuff. And I know you aren’t either, but you just damn well stepped on the porch.
Just stop it with that shit. I don’t like it.
