New Adventures of Old Surveysez

Well, Easter was definately not what I expected. We ended up having our dinner yesterday, Monday, after DH picked me up and brought me home from Calgary. It all started Friday, when I started to bleed from the throat. Not the most pleasant so Saturday we ended up at emergency, and, if you can believe it, they called the Stars Air Ambulance to take me to the city. Some kind of overkill, really, I thought. As a result I spent Sunday lying still for 3 and a half hours while an angioplasty was done on the bood vessels in my throat, basically tying off all the smaller ones so they can't do that again. At least the big vessel didn't seem to be involved, thank goodness. After those hours, because they go in through your artery in your groin, I had to then lay still for another four hours to allow the artery to seal. So it was a very quiet day.

I'm just so glad we have the level of medical treatment we do, and so very very glad to be home again.

Happy Easter

  6. Glad all went well.

    Did they put the big clamp on your artery in your groin? I hated that with my stint surgery. They kept yelling at me not to move but my leg had a mind of it's own.
