I’m 4 weeks and 4 days post angioplasty and I don’t have big improvements. I wish I could walk even just a little bit. I see some small improvements that come and go, but I’m nowhere near getting up from the wheelchair.

Rest assured, Dr Siskin + clinic staff are great.

I got the Dr's report which notes that I had 2 left jugular stenoses, 1 small one in my right jugular, and 1 small stenosis in my azygous. I’m kind of worried since I didn’t get treated for my upper left jugular stenosis. Dr strongly suspected that I’d need a stent and I made it known beforehand that I didn’t want one.

Anyway, it’s too bad that I can't share that things are better for me.
