3 For 3 - A Very Personal Triple Play

Hello again my friend. A quick ramble to complete my whirlwind life. Three for three, stents that is, to heal my heart. The cardiologist said the blockages where quite serious and one was right at a critical branch of the artery and 95% blocked.
I'm lucky my runs didn't end in some ashes on the Prairie Path. Tuesday was a crazy day. Checked into Central Dupage Hospital at 11:30am, on the operating table at 1:00pm, finished up at 2:50pm and then the fun began. I was assigned a bed in the cardiac intensive care unit and had to lay absolutely still for twelve hours to make sure my femoral artery heals. That is where the a catheter was inserted to do an angiogram and then insert the 'ball point pen springs' to hold those blockages open.
I did not sleep more than two hours overnite and now I'm two days into no showers because I don't want to disturb my wound yet. But I'm alive and I'm thankful.
Well, thanks to the Lord, I didn't buy the farm out on the Prairie Path. I'm good for a few more runs anyway. This triple play really awakened me to what is truly important, diet and exercise, and friends.
