LOL - Tell that story to someone who doesn't know any better. Hell, the dye hurts when it goes through. When they inflate the balloon it feels like the damn M/I all over again. I had angioplasty in my left descending coronary artery so when they inflated the balloon there was no blood going to a large part of my heart - that hurt!

...and then there's always the humiliation of having a bunch of people huddled around your naked crotch.

...and they gave me one yellow valium and said "This should help you relax." Yeah, right.

Anyway, this time the problem is in my legs - DVTs. After the heart proceedures, the legs should be a piece of cake.
