They fixed them all but one with small stints, the last one is 70% they think. ?
I dunno, I was so thrilled they weren't gonna gut me like a turkey I wasn't paying much attention at that point!
I looked it up in my Medical Stuff For Dummys book & it says.....
STINT : see Rectoscope
Uhoh!
My Dad had five stints put in his heart, he had a heart attack nearly 12 years ago and still doing fine, under doctor's order to keep up with his meds and let him know when he isn't feeling "right". My mom had her two stints put in her heart and she is OK but ornery. It took alot out of her last Christmas, she had to stay in the hospital for Christmas while the rest of us had to keep the party going. This year, she didn't do anything, not a meal not a gift exchanging or anything to do with "family". Don't know why she is so ornery about it. So we let it go.
Rectoscope, my Dad prefers this yearly than the heart stint. Either way, he said, you will get to feel better after it is all over with. Both procedures will "clean" you out.
Great to hear you are going to stay on this side of the dirt! been checking here regular to see how you are doing,glad to hear the positive news. Con tinued prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family.
ok now he is on the mends. it time for you out of the hospital bed and get home in your bed. and now you can put your boss hat and order things to be done on that farm.
Terra i have a wheelchair with a locking belt on it if u need one. or walking leash so he could go so far.
remember mfb cannot lift any more than a cup of sweet tea lol

Well, yeah, MFB, you're in there for HEART SURGERY. We try pretty hard to assign the "hot" nurses to the same-day, easy surgeries. You know nobody wants your ticker working ANY harder than it has to right now! You get Hildegarde.
I couldn't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for 10 days or something like that or you might pop your wound and bleed out. Then we'd have to stuff ya with a silkie to try and plug it...where we gonna get a silkie? Does gritty have one of those too?

Oh, no worries there, Terra was right beside me through most of it.. I woulda got my ears boxed but good if my poor heart started beatin' too fast over a nurse.
But Hildegarde!!! Jeez. I think she was a very nice nurse was very sweet and gentle too... but what a thing to see when you come to... (Where's the shivers smilie?)
I thought since I was sick, I might get special treatment.
