assessed again

yesterday i went to Norfolk and Norwich hospital for a pre-op assessment for the angio i have to have on the 30th of march at 7.30am.drove myself as i hadnt had a decent drive in the new car.funnily enough the nurse that saw me was the same staff nurse who cared for me after the heart attack,basically it was just to explain the procedure,which as i had already had one done was rather a waste of time,but blood tests done etc,so all ready.i have been told the angio will show any problems,and that if a stent needs to be fitted it will be,but there is a chance i will need a bypass operation at Papworth hospital.we shall see. my back is still giving me hell,i have never been in so much agony in my life,just had letter and i go to Cromer hospital next friday to see an orthopaedic triage nurse.hope some relief can be found soon.

Seems like most is in line except the back. I hope the heart procedure goes without a hitch. One thing about those they have become very common and Dr.s have a lot of experience at them.
I know the back seems more important, the back pain claims a lot of attention. Thinking of you friend.

Sounds like you are enjoying the car though. That is good.
