Well- just to give the other side of the horror story someone here
went through. . . .
My cath story goes- [8yrs or so ago]
8am- chest pain. It goes away, but I went to hospital to get it
checked out because some 'little birdy' was nagging at me.
10AM- chillin' in the Cath Lab. I got to watch on the monitor as
they poked the catheter into my heart. One 'uncomfortable' moment,
but the surgeon said before he did it-- "This is going to hurt for
about 30 seconds." He was right.
Next day- 12pm- discharged from hospital feeling better than I had in
years. Never looked back. I'm still healthier & more
energetic than I was then. Walking is great exercise for mind and
body.
Stuff happens--- but for the most part, catheters are a pretty simple
solution to a major problem.
Good luck with yours.
