Glad you're still with us and got the attention needed! Did my last cath about a year ago, all was fine. See the doctor about every three months to make sure everything stays ok. Had some major damage from the event. Getting to the ER the night before would have prevented much of the damage. It would have been a shorter stay in the hospital too. Had an external pace maker for awhile. They scheduled the operation three times to place an internal pacemaker and then put it off waithing for me to go rhythmic. Finally got there. I was lucky to have some damn good doctors working on me.
