I got a call about 4:10 this evening from the Nurse Practioner that I had seen at spring break. She had the results of my nuclear stress test and said that I had a blockage and that I needed to go for a catherization. She asked about shortness of breath and I told her about my coughing and my fluid retention — the things I related to her in March as concerns. She said that the doctor doing the procedure would call me on Monday and make arrangements.
Then she called back while I was talking to my mom, said I had a 70% blockage and that I was probably in heart failure already and needed to go tomorrow. So right now, I’m taking a break from making arrangements to go.
