So sorry to hear about your DH. I will keep you in my prayers.
 
How are you holding up?

I'm ok, relatively.  But, my job is to support him and keep him up and positive and that's not real easy when he's this scared of something.  Part of me keeps thinking that maybe he KNOWS it won't go well........

wow may the sergury and the recovery  go  well Lord! Best of luck and i wil pray and keep u n my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about this Glenda.  You can count on lots of support and prayers from all of us here []. 

We'll light the candles Monday night, it will be ok. Lots of prayers. Tell the Dr. if he is super nervous they may be able to give him something to get through the weekend.
But lease take care of you too, try to get as much rest as you can, or you won't be good for anyone else. 

Glenda.

Oh, Glenda, I know it's scary, but while there may be bad memories with stents, they really do wonderful things in helping blockage.  How long ago did his dad get one?  I work/trained in biomedical research and things have REALLY come a long way in the last few years.  A stent is a fairly common practice and I'm sure your surgeon has done tons of them and everything will go okay!

And it's understandable to be scared, and I know it's hard to be strong if you're scared to ~ but that's what all your friends are for.  we'll be thinking of you. Best wishes.

Honestly, I'm pretty much ok.....and I know where to come for moral support should I need it.  Resting is NOT a problem for me.  When I'm stressed, my body checks out really quick and I sleep.  Todd, on the other hand, will NOT rest because he is stressed.

I did talk to my MIL.  My FIL had his cardiac cath at 74 or 75.....he did NOT have a stroke during the procedure, but rather a couple years later, and it was his AUNT who got a faulty stent, not his Dad....so armed with a few facts that DH has gotten wrong somehow......hopefully that will help calm him down.  He says his dad went straight downhill AFTER the cath, BUT he was also 74 or 75 years old when he had it done.

Todd is LUCKY that he had some small amount of chest pain....the cardiologist said that OFTEN diabetics do not feel the pain because of nerve damage.  AND, that little bit of chest pain prompted his doc to send him for the stress text and THAT'S where it was discovered that there *could* be a problem.  So he is just flat out lucky all the way around that a potential problem is getting looked at before it gets a chance to be a BIG problem.  Now all I have to do is convince him of that..........is anyone figuring out that I'm the ONLY optimist in the family?
 
Nicole, FIL had his cath done in 86 or so??  He died in 1990 and it was at least a couple years prior to that, probably more.

Thoughts and prayers from our neck of the woods.

Glenda, I emailed you too.  When something happens to US that we've seen something similar in our folks (and especially when that didn't go right) it's a scarey thing.  I'd bet that's what's trippin Todd up ... but they've come a LONG ways in the last few years in heart care -- truly they have.  Just seeing what my own folks have gone thru in the last 5 years -- what was done last year on Mom was WAY better than what she got 4 years ago. 
 
Take care -- and I mean that.  Take care of YOU too -- because the buck will stop there and right now you kinda gotta take care of everbuddy.  Prayers and good thots won't stop, Glenda - I promise.

Glenda, I will be praying and thinking about you and your DH.
