Angio gangs

Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and x-rays to see how blood flows through the heart.

Once the specialist identified any blocks of the arteries, he will set an appointment when the next procedure shall take place.

A catherer is a long flexible tube which to be inserted into the blood vessel in the arm or groin. The tube then will be threaded into the heart. enuf..enuf..enuf..as if its being done on me, I couldn't describe any longer.

Today my mom-inlaw just went through the procedure. She is so brave and tough as ever. SALUTE…!!!!  you, Mummy. Thank God Mummy is ok. It took about 1 hour. We all waited patiently at the well provided waiting lounge.

My both Dads, biological and inlaw, had gone through the same procedure and both did a by-pass too. They both continue taking bunch of medications every morning and night. Thanks God they are okay.

My brother-inlaw, Irad also recently had his artery inserted by the tube. The most health conscious amongst the siblings, he shocked everyone for being the 1st to experience it. There was a little complication, I was told. Thank God the procedure went well.

I'm living surrounded by brave gangs.

My hubby, the biggest size of all, has no intention to check whether or not there is any blocks. So am I. ngeee……
