annual checkup - perfect



except this year - listened to his corroted arteries and it caused concern, second opinion more concern, heart catherization showed 1 corroted 90% blocked ie high stroke candidate (that was yesterday), surgery (tommorrow). I asked the cardio surgeon who should have them checked annually, anyone over 40 in good health, and if you are not in good health?, the sooner the better!



Eventhough the blood work looks good, you feel good, function well, make sure the corroteds are checked annually.

What are the corroteds? a friend of mine a very healthy man died from the stomach (can't think of the correct word) artery, I asked the Doctor to check mine, she said they were noisy, (Medical Term?) and had a (can't think of the word) test, micro something, used to test my welds that way, also check thickness of paint, off the Shop Floor into the Medical Establishment, (what will they think of in the future?)

The corroted arteries are the ones you can feel your pulse in your neck.

The rest of the story:



Was not 90% blocked, was 100% blocked. Cardio surgeon said he could not see any passage through the blockage at all. All cleaned out now, recovery comming along.



Thank GOD for a inquisitive general practice doctor that started the ball rolling.



All's well, that end's well.
