ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE...
The Mrs. here, reporting on the health and well-being of the owner of this blog.
There will be a triple by-pass performed at noon (or thereabouts) which should last 3-5 hours, Thursday the 23rd.
Wallace felt awful this morning - not with chest pain, but shoulder and neck pain and some shortness of breath. He was also extremely grumpy. We got to the hospital around 9. He had bloodwork done along with 2 EKG's. After looking at the results of the first EKG, a cardiologist was alerted and W had an angiogram at 4.
WOW...when Dr. Brown flipped on the screen to show us the results of the angiogram, it was easy to see the blockage in three different places, plus a dangerous blood clot, I believe the doctor referred to it as a "time bomb". We're very fortunate we got to the hospital this morning. Wallace did not have a heart attack. He was on the verge. Left unattended, the result would've been a situation that would not have included survival.
We'll be celebrating Christmas at the hospital. I'll update you as soon as I can, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
