For me, they will more than likely keep me overnight which is no big deal.
I am looking forward to getting home though!

They'll go through my right wrist and give me a fentanyl dosage to sedate me
but keep me awake. I'll probably just nap like I did during my heart cath.
The surgeon that is doing the stents is top-notch and a nice guy to boot.
He did my heart cath also,

I've been on Elliquis since March 2020 when I had my DVT and PE. I am on
Plavix (clopidigrel) also; they put me on it when I had my first heart
attack. I am also on isosorbate which is a long-lasting vasodilator in a
pill form. I will also have nitro at the ready.
The biggest thing I have to do is get the diabetes under control as well as
my diet (which should be easy with no teeth).
My next battle is getting dentures.
