Hello everyone.
Its Tuesady,8am at Lethbridge and from now on I cant eat or drink until after I have had the procedure which is at 12. Last night I had to get ready by shaving my nether regions which by the way has left my tallywacker looking pretty spectacular hahahaha.
So the plan is to jump into an ambulance which will take me to Lethbridge airport and from there jump into a small light aircraft which will fly me to Calgary in roughly 45mins. Back into an ambulance to Foothills Hospital and then if things go well straight into the prep room and then have the Angiogram which will show any problems/blockages or damage to the heart.
If any problems are found they will be fixed (if possible) by a procedure called Angioplasty and then in theory I should be as good as new. If no problems are found then its back to lethbridge for further investigations and treatment.
So I have a pretty busy day ahead of me.
My only concern is the thought of having a catheter inserted into the artery in my groin...even just thinking about it makes me shudder.
Well I better go, I need to shower again and scrub around where the catheter will be inserted with a special soap and pack up the few belongings I have with me.
I will of course let you know how it all went as soon as I get chance and if possible will try to get my hands on a picture of my heart which I will post on here.
Speak soon.

good luck phil.ill speak to you in a couple of days
Good luck mate hope it goes ok for you.
The best of luck lad, it would be hard to know if it would be better that they find something and fix it then and there, or find nothing but have to have more tests!! I'll say a prayer for you, apparently God listens to sinners first, so it'll be at the top of the queue!
Phil I hope the angiogram goes well and there's nothing untoward found, good luck mate hope you are out of hospital soon!
Regards,
Reg.
