A stent is not just for Christmas 😂

[Divasong]

So.. On Monday I'm off to have a stent put in. May not make any difference as they think I have mvd and cas. They are going to try confirm I have mvd while they are in there mooching around. Haven't had time to think about it which is probably not a bad thing! Stay safe everyone 🤗❤️

Hi there Divasong, definitely a good thing not having time to think about it🙂, I will be thinking of you on Monday, hope you get good results soon after, waiting is the worse thing xxx

Hi Divasong

Just checking up to see how you’re getting on, hope you’re not feeling to bad 🤗🤗

[Divasong in reply to Fluffybee]

Hi Fluffybee. Thanks for asking 😊. Had one stent put in a week ago today. It all went fine and the arteries on the left are all good so nothing else required as regards that. I do feel 'lighter' if that makes sense although I'm still getting pain in the centre of the chest but not as much as before. I am getting very fatigued at various points in the day but all to be expected really as I'm bound to be very bruised from all the poking about. Think i may need to take things further if the pain doesn't subside and get in touch with someone who is experienced in MVD and CAS as my cardiologist suspects i have this but I'm not convinced he has enough knowledge in this particular area.... When i asked him if he was going to test for MVD he said no he couldn't do that, yet he had told me a few weeks previously that he would and could.....all very confusing...

How are you? How is the tooth....? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will get it sorted as soon as possible as I'm sure the pain is a nightmare. Hope you are doing okay otherwise?

Hi my lovely 🤗

Are you home now ?

Sounds like you need lots of TLC, I can imagine how much pain you’re in must be awful, do you mean feel lighter as in the worry of the build of having the op done or your chest after surgery?

I completely understand where you’re coming from with the contradicting information from the Dr’s and consultants, I get so wound up about it all, just want him to say, this is what is happening, this is the plan, these are the meds we can try etc etc

I must admit getting another consultants opinion has definitely crossed my mind.

Have you been in a lot of MVA pain as well as op pain or is it hard to tell, I really feel for you biggest hugs 🤗 🤗🤗🤗

Heard nothing more from the dentist, I give up 🤷‍♀️

Take care of yourself, would you like a shrimp 🤭🤭🤭 xxx

[Divasong in reply to Fluffybee]

Came home the same day I had the stent done. It wasn't particularly painful having it done its more an uncomfortable feeling. Did too much the following day and paid the price for the following days. Very tired after it though.I feel lighter physically I think and I do think I'm still having mvd/cas pains 😕. I knew before I had it done that it might not make a difference. Then again I'm bruised inside and that needs to settle....

Do you think they would give us a group discount if we booked a new cardiologist together 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣??? Pay for an appointment get one free??

Is there anyone can help you with the whole dentist thing? It's gone beyond a joke now. A root canal pain is hideous.

Yes I'd love a shrimp - love seafood! What's happened to the walnut whips? 🤗

[Fluffybee in reply to Divasong]

That’s sounds really sore, I think when we feel good we do more then like you say regret it afterwards.

Do you know what????? That’s a fantastic idra😇😇😇😇 shall I do some fund raising with my wellies and walnut whips somehow, I’d get paid to go away 😂😂

Maybe a walnut wellies walk 🤣 that’s it I’ve found the solution,

Get the dosh. together and plead for a BOGOF 😂😂

I know my bloomin tooth abscesses really aren’t fun, I just want it out!!!!!! I’ve taken paracetamol and 6 ibuprofen today and it still hurts.

Maybe a tooth fundraiser, maybe not mention the walnut whips, he’d frown upon that, even though in his coffee break he asked someone to get him some chocolate, looked slightly sheepish when he saw me gawping at him 😆😆

🤗🤗🤗

[Fluffybee in reply to Divasong]

Have you been discharged back to your own GP now for the MVA ??

That’s awful if you have, mind you I’ve got a telephone conversation on 30th Dec so I may be in the same boat yet, it’s soooooo frustrating that some actual cardiologists don’t recognise the condition or know how to help patients!!!!!!

I’m wound up now 😳😳

I know some people on here have fantastic cardiologists who are very knowledgeable on the condition, just need to spread the word. 🙄 xx

[Divasong in reply to Fluffybee]

Oh you can't keep going like that having to take so much ibuprofen! I've been told I can't take it coz of the meds I'm on. No thankfully I haven't been discharged I've got a follow up in 3 months.Hope your call on the 30th is fruitful. I've found that I have to be very direct and forthright when I'm the phone as they only have time for facts. I also described a typical day to them to help them see how affected I was by things.

A wellies walnut whip walk has potential.... If you could say it without tripping up - Excuse the pun!😂😂😂

[Fluffybee in reply to Divasong]

How are you feeling so far today ? 🤗

I know I take a supply with me all the time, it’s not good I know but what can I do, dentist, Dr’s are all saying we’ll get back to you, there’s people who need treatment more urgently than I do but would really like it done it’s been far to long.

I agree just the facts are what they want to get the info they need.

I’m getting my list already for my telephone consult.

The stress isn’t helping with chest pain etc more noticeably when relaxing, could well be the cold as well 🙄

Do you have a suggestion for the wellie ‘brand’ 🤭🤭🤭

Big hugs to help you feel better 🤗🤗🤗🤗 xxx

[Fluffybee in reply to Divasong]

Hi 👋

How are you getting on, I hope you’re resting and the pain is getting better 🤗🤗 xx

[Divasong in reply to Fluffybee]

Hey! I saw your post about the dentist.... You shouldn't have to be in this position with all that pain. In my experience of dealing with professionals (mum of autistic child) you have got to keep on top of them all the time or you get lost in the system.Pain is better this week thanks although the fatigue is still there. They think I might be borderline diabetic as well so that needs to be checked 😩. So no more Green and Blacks almond chocolate for me, instead it will be sweat bands, lycra pants and fluorescent 80's leg warmers as i get my groove on walking around the neighbourhood! I start cardio rehab next week which is great.

Kids getting very excited with Christmas hurtling towards us

🎅.Really hope you don't experience that awful pain all over Christmas and they sort it out super quick. Hope the ticker is coping with all this too ❤️. Big hugs
