Cath day

 Monday May 18th was the day that I had my heart cathetarization done. I had to be at the hospital at 5:45. 


They got me all ready for the procedure. 


IV all hooked up. Actually it was done twice. The nurse did it once and then said that it wasn't flowing well enough so she brought in a guy to redo it.
I got fancy jewelry, one to identify me, one to warn about my allergy to penicillin and the other proclaiming me a fall risk

and then we waited.


I think it was around 7:30 or so when they took me for the procedure. In my drug induced state it didn't seem to take very long. Afterwards I went back to the original room and we waited some more. The doctor came in to talk to us and we waited some more. It was early afternoon when we were finally able to leave. Amanda wanted to use the valet parking so we had front door service and no walking to get the car from a parking garage. I honestly felt like I could have driven myself but it was nice to have Amanda there to do the driving. Once home I spent the rest of the day napping on the couch.
