Welcome back!

I know that is a strange title for an article, but it states my feelings.

My husband was supposed to be operated on December 10. It did not happen. we went to the Anesthesia assessment unit with my husband for his pre-op interview. It went okay until the nurse verified that he had stopped his Plavix and daily aspirin. Well, we were not told that was necessary. The information that we got from the secretary did not include that little bombshell.

Well, the operation was canceled. Then my husband was told to visit a cardiologist. We did that. Now he has to under go a thallium stress test. It is not until the 17th of December. One whole week after he was supposed to be operated on. The continued waiting is getting worse. The new operation is not even mentioned, yet. The cardiologist is going on vacation the same day of the test and will not be back until the 22nd. So, my husband is scheduled with another cardiologist the day after the test, on the 18th.

Meanwhile each day, is the procedure where my husband is catheterized at least 3 xs a day with accompanying pain each and every time. He suffers daily cramping inside his gut. He has pain almost all of the time either from hurt after the cramp, or from the procedure itself.

I could scream.
