Hi everyone,
First off a big thanks for all the kind words, very much appreciated.

On Wednesday Doctor told me I’d have an Angiogram but not for at least (Standing In line) 5 days.
And there was talk of Stents, pacemakers, new valves and even mention of a bypass.
Apparently, the kidney infection had caused my heart to go into Atrial Fibrillation.

Thursday afternoon Wifey came to visit and while talking they came and said a slot had come available, so I was off for the Angiogram.

Doc who did the Angiogram was thorough and checked my med record and saw that I’d been diagnosed with an Hypotrophic Cardio Myopothy an out 10 years ago, something I’d lived with from birth. He contacted the Doc who who’d helped me 10 years previously and discussed my case.
As he started the Angiogram he told me he didn’t expect to find much wrong.
After Angio. he said no clogged Arteries and the valve was not working 100% but didn’t warrant any treatment…..you can go home in the morning!
That was some relief.
Cardiologist said my heart has taken a big wallop (Her words) and will need time to recover.
Got to go for rehab physical for 4 hours per week for min 6 months.
Lots of different pills to take each day.
Feeling pretty week and tire very easily but think I’ve been very lucky!
So, once again, thanks to all, including George, Bill, Jack and Pieter.
Thanking you, Ken.
PS. Forgot to say, the Arrhythmia caused by the kidney infection is what caused the heart attack.
