Mike's Heart

On Monday the 11th, Mike goes in for Angiogram and possible Angioplasty.  He has a blockage somewhere in his bottom half of his heart.  I am so frightened, and he is not showing any fear at all. Mike has had trouble with breathing for a few years now.  We have been to several doctors over the years and they have said things like; Mike you're getting older and its normal, you have asthma, nothing is wrong at all.  About 3 weeks ago he went in for a work related physical, and there happens to be a new doctor, so Mike thought he'd complain once again to her and maybe she would know what is going on.  Well it paid off.  Doctor Sanchez listened to Mike and asked him if he had heart problems. After he said no, she had him do a stress echo and saw that the bottom part of his heart that was not getting blood.  She sent him home with a 24 hour heart monitor.  When he returned she made him an appointment to see a cardiologist for the following week.  Mike met with him yesterday and the doctor has made an appointment for Monday.  Mike is on light duty right now and will be out of work for 2 weeks.  I am happy at the moment with  KCFD, because they have accepted this as a workers comp case. The county is picking up the tab for the whole thing.  Mike may have to retire a lot sooner than he wanted to.  He will be spending a lot more time in CA during this whole ordeal.  I am flying down there after work on Sunday and will be returning on the 16th.  I will keep you all posted.
