Started in 1994 when a stress test showed I had some blockage. Cath confirmed two blockages but because of my age then Cardio wanted to try meds first. Had several Nuclear Stress Tests, MUGA, several Echos, several Caths, had CCPC treatment.
Surfing the net (especially VR.org), enjoying each and every breath since surgery, grandkids, fishing, walking (HA).
