Jan Angiogram

No exercise this morning, more working early at 5:30am because it is surgery day for Jan again, this time at 10:30am. Dr. Kenwood will be doing the procedure, an angiogram, which he explained to us last week. Very safe, 99.9%.
Now the risks do go up if he finds something and decides to fix it, but we have all the confidence everything will go smoothly. They are doing this to find out where the blockage to the heart is that is causing chest pain when Jan exerts himself. Like the walk pace of a normal person is too much for him.
Jan smiling, ready to dye his heart.
We are at Jordan Valley Medical Center, across the parking lot from our almost surgery experience last week. The gowns and socks aren't as cute over here, and no air-controlled gown with a control for warm or cool. The wi-fi in the waiting room rocks though! Slow, but free. It helps with the patient comfort knowing his family will be entertained.
After we got his designer gown on he had his blood taken, had joke time, played 20 questions, got his IV and then an EKG. He was ready.
Jan acting like he is having fun.
So the hospital joke for the day told to us by a nurse: "Did you see the movie "Constipation?" No. That's because it hasn't been released yet." Aren't you glad you don't work in a hospital. Stay tuned for surgery post.
