Hi Jim,
I'm glad to hear such glowing reports because it gives me hope I won't ned to go through this kind of thing again soon.
My problem is that after I had the stent put in, I had terrible pain again, which even was worse then the first time. The first time, it took two dose of morphine to caalm the pain, but with this pain, two doses didn't wven tickle the paain. It took three doses to get it.
The doctors were waiting for the blood tsts to get back, to see if I'd had another attack. When they got back, there were enzymes in the blood that says I had had another hert attack. They had taken about seventeen electrocardiograms (no exageration), three resonance images of my heart all through this. One before the stent, one after, and one after I got that pain. They all concurred too, that I hadn't had another attack.There was another set of tests I took that confirmed there was no heart attack.
They decided that they would trust the data that agreed, rather tan with the only disagreeing factor. In the end, I will need to be careful with how I proceed from now on. One thing is certain, and that is I'll be excited to get home again.
I want to again say thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. In my life, I don't think I have ever run into a group of guys that care so much aabout just one member. God bless you all (even those of you who may no believe);-)

Glad you made it through OK. Went through the angioplasty and stent procedure over 12 years ago and I'm still doing OK. Just take it easy for a while and you'll be back in the swing of things before you know it. Our thoughts and prayers are for you............Jim and Rita
