Oh Man! Sorry about the leg issues, but glad it is no worse!

At least they had air conditioning in the hospital/waiting area!

Hope things improve quickly for you both!

Just got home from the hospital. Got up at 4 am this morning to take partner in for a femoral arteriogram - she's been having lots of leg pain & weakness - suspected thrombus/blockages.
Right leg arteries cleared via balloon agioplasty & stents.
Left leg arteries totally occluded - will need bypass graft surgery later.
Glad the right leg's been cleared. Has she been scheduled for the procedure on the other?

Not yet - she has to recover from this one first. Will probably be scheduled in early August.

My friend, I hope that she feels better very soon. Please give her my warm encouragements for a prompt reestablishment.

Be nice to her pooh, extra nice. Tell her that I told you this.

Good show of kindle. Did you like it how I defended you from the Red Jackets?

KK I am sad for your loss, but glad he is finally at peace. Now you can recover. {{{{HUGS}}}}

After the procedure, the doc didn't apply pressure long enuff on the catheter site - lots of bleeding - then huge pressure bandage, followed by her being strapped flat to bed with leg immobilized for 6 hours. Finally got home - we're both exhausted. Cats were slightly hysterical.


Side note: I had taken my K2, and surveyed the waiting area for reading devices: 1 Nook, 5 laptops/netbooks, 6 phones. K2 did fine under subdued hospital lighting - in really dim areas I just increased the text size.
I hope she recovers quickly and can get the other leg sorted soon. No aeroplane rides for her huh?


Hi beppe and AM Good morning.

Sorry to hear you dad passed away, kindlekitten. Take some time to grieve.

And poohbear_nc, sorry to hear about your partner's leg problems. Hope everything goes well, there.

Hi SS good morning dear. Everybody is sort of subdue because of KK's dad and pooh's partner. But now that you are here there will be some sunshine
Too bad that I have to go to sleep real soon.

Where are you? Did you sleep in your bed? Talking of direct questions. You know what I mean
