Better data... but not such good news

I had my first chance to find out about the test results of Sharon's catheterization.

I got the info that I posted before from Sharon; and well... she was mistaken. (full disclosure-- if I'd been as high on anything as she was after that procedure, I might have said green was blue...)

They identified two arteries with over 70% blockage; so she'll be getting the bypass as well as the valve repair.

I will hopefully update this again tomorrow (Sunday June 24) night; depending on how she feels that evening. There's nowhere on the campus to access the Internet so I can't do it from there (someday I'm going off on a rant about corporate groupthink and network access), and Sharon's thinking that she'd like for me to stay there overnight with her. If that's the case, I don't know if I'll be able to update until after the surgery is complete and she's back safely in intensive care.

Forgive me for not being very accessible; the hospital has rules against cell phone usage, so it's usually turned off.

As ever, thank you all for your prayers, love and support.

JJ

My prayers are with you and sharon. John, I experienced the same helpless feeling you probably have when James had heart surgery. Sharon will come out like a champ. Give her my love. Donna
