Coratid Arteries

Bilhar and all – I got my results today for the coratid artery test -    -They found not a trace of build up.  I am good to go in that area  for now anyway – Thanks for the heads up bilhar your the greatest.    YIKES!  I have bruises all over me.  I had my elbow on my leg last  night reading the computer and when I woke up this morning I had a  bruise like you would not believe. I know what this is from but how  weird.    Oh by the way the little pains you might feel in your chest from  time to time is the artery healing up for us stent folks.  The rehab  nurse told me that when they went in there to place the stent of  course it caused some damage to the artery and it is natural to  experience some pain as that artery heals.    The doc told me today that if a person can get thier good  cholesterol 50 or above and the bad 70 or below that scientist have  proved that your body actually starts getting rid of some of the  plaque that is already formed in your arteries – How cool.  I have a  long way to go on that Cholesterol but at least I know now that  there is some hope.    Also for those of you, like me that are stupid enough to still be  smoking, the rehab nurses say that it is vital to take a Multi  Vitamin everyday they say that smoking takes alot out of you and you  should try to help in any little way you can to put some of that  back and the vitamins do help in that area.  So guess what I am  doing     I hope all is well with everyone.
