This was a good comprehensive account and reassuring although to be honest having had more than my share of surgery these past few years I don't want to think too much about it now. Enjoy the peaches and I'll be sure to keep the blow up dolls hidden

Thank you!!
So that's why I got a crick in my neck, tryin' to puzzle out what was goin' on, eh?
Yep, I'd fogotten the sudden warm flood bit. Muy scary! What I also didn't mention was that the guy forgot to tell me that I was going to get a pain in my heart.
Wow! That was so bad!!! " That's it!" I thought " I'm gone now! Goodbye, cruel world, I'm off to join the circus!"
He was so casual " Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you!" Did you ever witness a patient leap from the table in a snowstorm of paper covers, and throttle a technician?
Ah, life holds so many fascinating, truly excellent adventures, doesn't it?

Ariel, wow! I'm impressed that with five blockages,
your sarcophagus did not actually land itself on an operating table carved open with open heart surgery! You lucked out, eh?
But regarding the catheter they inserted, sorry to inform you my dear, but there is no camera on the end of that wee tiny tube. Rather, they use xrays (fluoroscopy) and, along with injections of dye, they can get several quick and accurate visuals of the heart to see where the blockages are. That warm sensation you had that likely made you feel as if you were going to pee-pee on the table (to use the Spanish term)??? That was the dye being injected. Cool, eh?
I'm glad you are doing well, in spite of all the excitement!!!

Why, thank you, I am deeply moved by your concern and your friendship.
Our daughter Francie kept everyone in touch, when I was in hospital, and I was overwhelmed by the flood of good wishes from so many people. Takes a bit to move me to tears, but you all did so then.
Funny thing is, I still get all the symptoms of angina, and often feel as if I'm gonna get struck down, but everything .. and I mean everything shows up perfect in every test. Dunno if it's good or bad!

I think you would make a dashing crusader!
Enjoy the fiesta! NNO MORE coronary episodes, they are not allowed! You also need to make sure Lady Ariela knows how to keep in touch with us in the event you decide to go and give the doctors and nurses a difficult time again!
We worry about those we love around here.
