Tuesday-8:30 pm--just got in from doctor's. had a diagnostic heart cath done, and finally found the cause of my pain. i have a 60% blockage in an artery that the doc missed while in the cath lab. he was talking to me as he finished up about going to a G I doctor to have all that checked again, because he said my arteries were clear. he left and the nurses prepared me to go to recovery for 2 hours. as they wheeled me out the door, the doctor came over and said he needed to apologize to me, as he had checked the pictures that were taken and he saw the blockage. it didn't show up plain as he was putting in the dye, but the computer saw it when the film was being made up. he told me that this was the probable cause for all the pain and that the meds had controlled it till it got so bad, then the pain began to build. so, i go in next week to have a stint put in and that should stop the pain and let me get back tonormal, or as close as i can get to being normal.

we are just praising God that they finally found what the cause was. thanks for the prayers, and i'll let you know what day they set me up for the follow up cath. be blessed--Bill
