So I went for my cardiac catheterization today. Not bad at all. And the results were consonant with the echocardiogram. Did not need any cardiac stents. So far so good.
But then.............the doctor tells me that I have a blockage in the femoral artery, and that I will need a stent there. "No emergency", he says, but he wants me to have it done in the next 4-6 weeks.
One of the partners in his practice is the "chairman in chief" of femoral stents, and he wants to talk to him about it.
It may not be an emergency for him, but I am the sort of person that wants things done, "yesterday".
So I am not in the kindliest of moods now.
