After having a heart attack in 2004 and undergoing open heart surgery in 2012, I was consistently going back to the hospital for a heart catherization and having a stent or stents placed for blockages. It seemed no matter what I did every 5-6 months the same thing would happen...the chest pains, shortness of breath
abnormal stress test and stent placement. September of 2015 the same scenerio began to replay...consistent chest pains, tired, shortness of breath. I began to think it would never change and this would just be the way the rest of my life would play out. This would be my 8th or 9th time back since the surgery. I began to mentally prepare myself, trying to stay positive and look ahead. It was very hard to do at this point and I found myself wanting to give up several times. On September 28th I went in for the procedure. Everything seemed to go as normal. Except that they could not go in as they normally had which was thru an artery in my groin because too much scar tissue had built up from the procedure being done so many times and they had to go in thru my wrist. The doctor finally comes in the room and I am waiting to hear how many stents had to be put in....I was very afraid because my doctor had called me at home on Sunday (my procedure was the following day) to let me know his concerns. I was also afraid of hearing him say I would have to undergo another bypass surgery....my doctor says....."well I have some good news.....I did not have to put in a stent, all the partial blockages are the same as they were when we went in March and I saw some additional blood vessels that were not there before"..............can you imagine looking at a picture of your heart six months ago and looking at it at that moment and seeing additional blood vessels.....God is able and has bought me thru many storms, I just have to remember....GOD's got This!!!!!!!!!!!! .....always DID.....
