So..tomorrow..I have a little tv camera go floating through my blood vessels! That ought to be a really interesting voyage for it!! The big question is:...just how badly are my pipes corroded??? Does the plumbing look like it can be fixed? If they can fix my plumbing,..will the docs use angioplasty..(a balloon that blows up inside of one's blood vessels till it breaks up the blockages caused by the offending cholesterol...or will it be several bypasses of the "chop-open-one's-chest"type?

For my viewing pleasure,..I was given today a video..of "Basic Bypass Surgery: Patient Implicatons and Response!"

Upon viewing it with my family,..Bill's first response was to turn white at the first incision shown,..gasp,..put hs hand over his mouth,..and leave the room!! Puking sounds followed. This boy will never have a career in a medical field!!

My husband was "o-K" till they started to turn the aorta..inside out while the blood was still gushing!! He.too,..quietly left the scene!!

ReaL good moral support,..huh!?????!
