Life's a Stitch

Chuck got in yesterday at St. Paul’s Hospital. They’ve decided not to put stents in, as placement was not possible in the areas of the two major blockages(80 and 70%). Fortunately these were not located in the main artery. The main artery only had 50% blockage and they are confident that it is treatable with "aggressive medication." So that’s about as good as it gets newswise. He’ll be home in a day or two.

Thanks for your positive thoughts and prayers. Chuck’s hospital records had not indicated a religious preference so I felt free to register him as a Catholic, figuring if it became necessary, a priest could do a fine job. Chuck has now dubbed himself my Catholic-in-law. Works for me.

Update: I met with the cardiologist who says that it isn’t quite as pretty as I made it out to be, but with treatment we can stay positive for now. I guess we don’t get a choice; positive sounds good to me. My wrist is killing me from furtive knitting!
