My Update

[ChatterAlly]

No question, really. Just letting you all know what I am dealing with.  Had yet another MI. This time more major than minor.  RCA required 3 more stents. One long one.  They weren't able to place the drug eluding type in the major block though.  The left side has some blaockages at 50%. Both carotids are 60% - 75% blocked and will need stenting soon.  Maybe may or June.  Iliac is bocked again...............My trigs are still over 900 because I never got into the habit of taking my Tricor and Pravastatin.  I need to take that every day along with Plavix.  My doctor is amazed that I am still among the living and able to walk as much as I do since these MIs have been going on since 2004. Texas High Risk Pool Insurance and my meds are the only thing I work for these days. Picked up 3 meds last night at the tune of $400. Take care all, I be back soon.  Ally

That's terrible news. I'm glad you survived but I want things to get better, get easier for you. I'm with you on taking pills - yuck! But an MI is not fun either. Please take care, be good and keep us posted.

I can't have that, I'll have to book in for some more. You are a naughty girl not taking your meds, they will help. Thank God you survived, and it will be great to have you back here. Maybe with the price of stents, we should go halves on the cost of 3 metres of copper pipe.

Chatty, I'm so sorry you had another heart attack.  I've noticed you hadn't posted.  Take your drugs!  Also, mix in about 2000mg of fish oil daily for those Trigs.  You are catching up with Ed and I with your number of stents.  Stay active, but keep nitro tabs in your pocket.  It's nice to see your post.
