Results of the procedure are that there is no significant blockage in any of my arteries. Therefore, the doctor did not place a stent as was planned. Of the three possible outcomes, this was the least likely. I don’t know what I did to deserve it, but I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I will simply say “Thank you” to all of you who offered thoughts and prayers. I have no doubt that these offerings were the source of my good fortune, and so I am indebted to all of you.
Just so you know, I didn’t get off scott-free. As of Friday, my diet has been highly modified. No more red meat, eggs, salt, butter, or anything else which tastes good. From now on only cardboard, twigs, and the occassional leaf will have to sustain me. I guess I’ll have to find another “favorite” book!
