Good afternoon, wherever you may be!
Here's a quick update on my mother. She was cathed yesterday, and guess what? She has a 50% blockage in a small artery off the LAD and was diagnosed her with diffuse microvascular disease. She's being treated w/ meds, diet and exercise.
The timing of my mother's diagnosis is uncanny, or Divine Intervention. As some of you know, I was diagnosed with "endothelial dysfunction" last week, i.e., a variant of CAD where the coronary arteries constrict versus dilate.
Betty, if you're reading this, I wish I were in the cath lab when the chief cardio relayed the results of my mother's cath to the physicians in my family. My brother called and half-heartedly admitted that he was wrong, and I was right to pursue a definitive. His acknowledgment didn't fall on deaf ears. Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks.
God is good.
All the best,
