Oct 2019

just had two stents put in last Monday. Procedure took an hour and we were on the way home two hours after that. She was a bit tired as we had to be up at 5:30 to be at hospital by 6:00 so took an afternoon nap.

The next day she was 100% recovered and up and about and back to her normal routine (which includes walking 15 minute miles, plus weight training and biking twice a week at Planet Fitness by the end of the week.

She had a stent put in 20 years ago and recognized the symptoms right away this time.
