23. Tuesday

    I got up at 5:30 and phoned Donna at Gail’s at 5:45.

 I had driven Donna to Gail’s the night before and kept the Corolla in our garage.

 I went to pick Donna up at 6:30 and she was still asleep.

 I guess the phone in the basement does not work.

 Donna quickly got dressed while I took Benson across the street. 

At 6:40 we left for the Foothills Hospital and Donna dropped me off there at 7:00. 

It was after 8:00 before I got my bed in the ward 

and at 10:00 they wheeled me down the hall to get my angiogram done. 

Dr. Lesoway explained the procedure to me. 

He made a small cut in my wrist and inserted a tube into an artery. 

He pushed the tube through the artery up my arm, across my chest and into the left ventricle. 

Then he pushed about an ounce of dye through the tube

 and the x-ray machine took many pictures of the dye being pumped through all the vessels. 

There were no blockages of any kind. 

The only problem was that the left ventricle was not expelling all the blood that it could.

 Normal is 50% to 75% and my heart was at 55%.

 I went back to the ward and read Chuck’s book “A Walk in the Woods” about the Appalachian Trail.

 Donna picked me up at 1:30 and took me home.

 I was not supposed to use my right hand so I took it easy 

and did not do much for the rest of the day

 키이스가 검사결과에 대한 결과를 메일로 보내왔다

Cardiologist

I've been to see the cardiologist today and he went over all my test results. 

They are all within normal so we're both happy with them. 

I really do feel a lot better than I did six months ago. 

There's no explanation for the shortness of breath I felt then.

 I'm just glad I feel okay now.

Sincerely,

 

Keith Rietveld
