Blocked arteries and another stent.

Update posted by Nicole Bryan

Okay. So. *deep breath*

I had the angiogram today. They found a blockage in two of the arteries in my brain, one of them a major artery. I've been admitted to the hospital overnight and, if Medicare cooperates, I'll be having a second stent put in tomorrow. No word on the time yet, but probably in the afternoon.

I'm nervous. Really nervous. Also worried. We were supposed to check out of the hotel tomorrow or Thursday, but now it'll likely be Friday or Saturday. I don't know how I'm going to afford the hotel. It's $129 a night after the medical discount and we got here Sunday night. I just don't have the money for all this, from the hotel costs to the $1,500 deductible. I'm extending the fundraiser a few more days, so if you can help, please please donate or share the link.

This means that I'll have to have at least 1 to 2 more trips up here for follow ups on the stents too, so that's another worry. *sigh*

There's no cure for my conditions and illnesses, but I am hoping that this will help some. If nothing else I would love to start being able to go walk in the greenway/parks and take up photography again, and finish my degree, even if it has to be online.
