Scary times

[tom4bren]

I had two stents put in two years ago.
They say the meds, will prevent a need for future stents.
Plavix, Crestor, Metorprolol, are part of my daily routine.
It does **** , that all the fun stuff is bad for you

Take care

In theory ... but ...

Bren went back in the hospital yesterday with minor pains in her left arm (that went away almost immediately with 2 asperin). All tests came back negative for heart attack but they did the cathater (sp?) thang again. They found that one of the stents was narrowed so they removed it and replaced it with a slightly larger one.

On the bright side - doc gave her a thumbs up for our trip to England/Ireland/Scotland.

Tom,
Please tell me the brand name of the stents.
It should be on the card that she is supposed to have on her at all times.
Mine are "Cordis" CYPHER a J&J co
I sure would like one less thing to worry about
