So I had the appointment with the top cardiologist on the 26th at Hahnemann. He reviewed my films and called late last Thursday and said he needs a carotid angiogram ASAP and to cancel my leg stenting which was scheduled for tomorrow.

So I am now scheduled for a carotid angiogram at Hahnemann on Weds Sept 3 at some unknown time. They will call me tonight. Depending on what the angiogram shows, he may then stent it on Thursday. He refuses to do more than one procedure at a time so legs will have to wait until carotid addressed. I like this new guy so am not too worried about the possibility of angiogram causing a stroke. My husband however thinks the 'do nothing approach' is just fine.

I will be out of work until at least Monday and since I can't post on the board from home, will not be able to give you an update until some time next week. Wish me luck.

Take care,
Eileen
