Don, Sorry to hear hat you had problems like you described. I hope in the end that everything works out for you. I had a heart catherization done and it was real easy and it took about an hour or so and after laying in bed without moving for 7 hours I was allowed to go home the same day. Drugs can be bad but we need them at times. I wish you the best and I'm glad that you are not going to take pictures (HA HA HA) John F > > Greetings, > > I flunked. > > I took a thorium Stress EKG today and flunked, it took some nitroglycerin > under the tongue to bring me out of it.
