Hi everyone.  I am in the waiting room and they just took Ron into the OR.  So we got up at 3:30 am.  We showered and packed our stuff.  I forgot the sandwiches but I do have my chips and pretzels.  Of all the people waiting I am the only one eating.  I did not eat at home because Ron couldn’t eat and I felt it would be mean as he couldn’t eat and it would’ve mean.   I am not really hungry but I took my medications and I am diabetic so I need something in my stomach.  

The good news is his OR nurse is a friend of ours from our ICU days.  She is a really great nurse and it is grand Ron had someone he knew.   The bad news is  the doctor was not sure if stents were the best course of action.  Instead of by pass surgery.  He will check to see how bad it is and if stents would work as Ron is a diabetic and stents tend to clog in a few years.  So once he gets in there he will measure the pressure.  Then he will explain to Ron if stents are appropriate or if a bypass operation would be a better option.  Pretty scary.  Hugs
