The hardest part is at the end when they have to hold the site for twenty minutes to stop bleeding.  The nurse I had was a tiny thing and it felt like she was climbing on top of me.

That sounds kinda fun. Maybe I can have two nurses climbing on top of me  ;D ...Boxman

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. They mean a lot.

Sharon just had that procedure last Wednesday, the cardiac doctor laid out all the dire consequences that she faced, they might have to place stents and possibly do open heart surgery depending on what they found, that the procedure would be about 45 minutes if things went well, I steeled myself and after she left I figured I had better go to the cafeteria and have at least a hamburger then went down to the waiting room, 20 minutes after she went down my cell phone rang and it was Sharon on the phone she was back in her room and and the results could not have been better, she had the pictures to prove all the arteries were quite reasonably clear, so no special intervention was needed, she will still have a defibrillator installed in a couple of weeks, So hoping your heart shows the same good fortune......
