6 month study for use of stents versus placebo effect

Had the angiography/angioplasty friday. Obviously don't till the end of the 6 months whether I had a stent or not. Procedure went well not to uncomfortable just felt a bit of tugging. Choice of music to listen to. Problem after as groin incision decided to seep so ended up having injection to tighten muscles which did stop it. Not much bruise on wrist this time but enormous bruise on top of thigh

To cap it all ended up with tooth ache the day after so after visit to emergency dentists this morning on antibiotics. At least they would hopefully knock any chance of infection from wound on the head.

Comes the interesting bit now, when I get a bit more active, to see if angina returns as have been taken off anti angina meds. Do know if angina returns badly will be able to go back on the meds

went for a little walk this afternoon down to our local park. Its a bit uphill coming back, was pretty good didn't get the bad angina I have had before coming up hill. We will see when I can walk a bit faster, as at moment can't walk to fast as groin is still as bit sore
