I'm writing this from a motel in Spokane. Tuesday morning Sam went to his doctor. Twenty-four hours later Sam and I are in Spokane, sitting in a room at the Heart Institute, listening to the heart specialist explain the results of Sam's heart cathederization (sp?). One of Sam's arteries is 90% blocked. This morning Sam had a stint put in; he is still at the hospital and doing fine. Doctor said Sam's lucky he's not pushing up daisies right now.
Before Sam had the cathederization, all the staff at the Heart Institute kept asking Sam what he was doing there...Sam is only 49 (he'll be 50 on August 1). Before we drove up the head nurse told Sam she didn't understand why Sam's doctor referred him...Sam is too young and didn't have the "classic" symptoms of patients needing a heart specialist. Even the specialist seemed somewhat skeptical of the seriousness of Sam's condition. So much for that school of thought. Once the results were in, they wasted no time getting Sam set up for the procedure.
Hopefully everything will go well tonight, and we will be on our way home tomorrow morning after breakfast. Right now, I'm tired. I've been up since 4:30 this morning and I need sleep.
I'll keep you posted...hopefully from home.
