Well it’s my third trip to the hospital in the last eighteen months. Starting in April 2020 with the partial nephrectomy. Following that with the cataract surgery in October 2020, interocular implants (fortunately those were outpatient procedures although they did require being “admitted.” Finally a heart cath this past Thursday (resulting in an angioplasty and me now being the proud owner of a new stint. It seems like my warranty has worn out and I’m requiring more new parts.

I hope recovery is smooth and everything settles well.
Kind of upsetting when we realise that we're fine in ourselves but the body's kind of wearing out in parts.
I hope nothing else is in need of repair/replacement.

@MrEd They went through my right wrist. It was my second such procedure; the first was in 2019. On the first one they found a blockage but opted to treat with medication at that time. Recently my symptoms had been worsening so my cardiologist ordered a second catheterization and this time they went with the stent. I’m not really clear which artery but im feeling better since the procedure.

Thanks everybody.
