Mom and Dad and Sis came in early, I was again pacing the halls and writing up a long list of questions for the upcoming meeting with the cardiologist. My room mate was sleeping so I kept out of the room and we hung out in the visitor's lounge. Dr White found us there and sat down for a meeting.
She'd reviewed my angiogram with another cardiologist and they decided I had SCAD, and not a plaque blockage. All morning our family discussed my issues as a plaque issue, looking for family history and patterns, this changed all that. Also, she didn't seem to think that I'd "never" run again, there seemed to be some hope in the future. I had so many questions, they aren't as relevant right now I guess.
Also, no second cath procedure. They were going to let the remaining long tear heal conservatively on its own, the length of the tear seemed to be a risk factor. They'd go back at a later time to measure healing and decide from there.
The morning changed after that. No more procedures, but I was to stay in hospital at least until tomorrow. We went down for breakfast in the cafeteria. Hung out in the visitor's lounge and talked, sis and I played with Playdoh. The she had to leave to get back to her family. The rest of the day was resting with mom and dad.
Throughout the day, talked to Donna, DaveK, Grandma, Jess, texts to many others family and friends. Thankfully TH contacted the Club group and training partners, it was getting hard to keep saying what happened over and over again.
The staff noted that i wasn't in my room all day (avoiding my room mate) so they moved me from 485 to 477 where I'd be alone. IT and BE came to visit!! Then I pace some more, read some more of the PDF's TV sent, colored in my new coloring book. Sleep.
Still hasn't sunk in yet. Even after learning from SO that one of his coworker's wife died of a heart attack yesterday. She was the same age I am.
