The Morning After

Okay, this is another image I took of hubby a couple of weeks ago. We were getting it ready to upload for a new work badge. Yesterday he had heart catheterization. For people who do not know, what happened is that a flexible tube with a balloon end was inserted in a small incision in his groin and passed up through that artery to his heart. He had contrast dye given, and the images were seen and evaluated by the heart team. He has blockages in at least one place that amount to 30%. That is very minor, and he will be given medication to deal with this. He will continue to try to eat healthy and be active, which his doctor likes. Sometime in the next week or so an appointment will be made to have a pacemaker implanted to regulate the Afib. Bob is looking forward to that as he believes, and so do I , that his energy will be restored. Today he has no real pain. He says just an occasional twinge at the incision site. They close that type of surgical wound with a plug known as a Mynx. We were told he might have seepage, bleeding, pain, soreness, a hematoma, etc. So far none of that. It is a good thing and we are pleased. He is puttering around the house, wearing soft, non-binding clothes and not lifting heavy things. We may go out of town to get another tool and to turn in his prescriptions at the pharmacy. Lazy day for today through Monday.
