Again thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. They all worked. My cardiac cath showed no problems with my veins going to the heart except for some build up that the Doctor prescriped a higher dose of simvastatin (generic lipator). He said there was very little change from the one he did 2 years ago. The power of prayer and good wishes can do wonders. I feel pretty good about the results...Boxman

Hello Boxman.. I hope everything went well for you. I just wanted to say I'm next, Feb 19 I have my cardiac consult then I guess we'll try to plan a date
for the procedure.   I'm not on a transplant list yet but I hope to finish up with all the other tests soon. My favorite is coming up...colon oscopy , I have never had one and all
I can say is Yeah!!!   :sir ken; So let me know how that cardiac test went..    take care.... Gus.

hey sewerrat, The good news is for the oscopy you are put to sleep, for the cath you are given a valium and are basicly awake but
you don't feel hardly anything...Good luck...Boxman
