Cygnus is in bad shape (page 2)

Sorry to hear about your heart problems. I took a quick look on the internet and found that this site has a good overview:

I agree with 'somebody'... open heart surgery is very common these days. If you have to have heart problems I believe repairing a leaking valve is one of the least evasive there is....and with your youth, you should do just fine.

Cygnus...You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

HI Cygnus: Sorry that you are having so much trouble. The Angiogram is painless, and you should be awake while they are inside your heart. There will be some pain in your leg where they send in the probe through your Femural artery ... well, I won't say anymore ... you will find out the rest. Hang in there ... these Cardiologists are very good these days and can do much to repair things. Will be praying for you.

I'm wishing you in good spirits, new friends, and a quick healing Cygnus, hang in there.

Sorry to hear about your heart condition, Cyg, its still your heart!!!

My advice is to take along a walkman to listen to what ever music calms you while you are having the procedure done. (Operating room talk is annoying!)

Hugs, hang in there,
