Rich is definitely feeling better.
On June 27, he went in to have two stents put in the backside of his heart. The procedure was similar to his previous angiograms but instead of going in through the groin, they went in through his left wrist. The procedure took just under two hours. The cardiologist found plaque build up at three locations and used two stents to open these up. The stents are medicated to help prevent a reoccurrence of plaque. Rich was returned to the cardiac care unit with a pressurized cuff around his wrist and ready for dinner as he had not eaten since 8 in the morning. A health appetite is a good sign.
Today was his first day back on the treadmill and lifting weights. He said he was a little less winded at the end of his treadmill workout, another good sign.
In the next few months we will monitor and of course check back with the doctors before we return to Mexico. At this point we are very encouraged.
Our son, Jesse and our daughter-in-law. Rae, came up on the train and spent the past weekend with us. It was good to catch up on what they are doing. They also went through some of the camping gear from our storage unit and some boxes of Jesse's things. The downsizing continues.
Great news!!! Looking forward to more, as you guys get ready to come back down to Mexico.....cheers, Adam and Cindi, s/v Bravo
