Hi greyman - good luck on your journey!

I hope it will be successful.

When you have some spare time in Katowice - there is a big mall called "Silesia City Center" near the center. There are some nice restaurants - even a fabulous sushi-restaurant - not to be missed :-) Most of all - it is a good place to get away from the weather (coooold and rainy/foggy).

In the food-court there is free wifi - an excelllent place to write on TIMS :wink:

Christian

Only two days to go. Good luck Greyman and I hope it all goes smoothly. We are going on the 17th February, so will miss you by a long way, but hope to learn from your experience.
May it be a great one.

Once again - thank you for your words of support. They mean a lot to me.
I'm mentally preparing for the whole thing. Not too distant thing, though - Katowice is only 200 kilometers from where I live in Poland :).
I'm leaving tomorrow at noon CET (GMT+2h). The plan is that I'll be admitted to the hospital late afternoon and have the procedure after following 24 hours.
Keep your fingers crossed. Especially for my vertigo to be not that disturbing during the op. Alas I'm sure it will occur. Hopefully not that bad.
I'll try to write something when I'm still there, but cannot promise anything.
All the best to you, TIMSers!
Adam

Take good care,

Hey. Writing to you from a bed in the Euromedic centre and using cell phone. I have EKG electrodes attached to my chest, plastic tube in my arm vein and blood gone for testing. My procedure is to start 16-18 CET. There was a couple of procedures yesterday. I heard that one lady, although diagnosed with having stenoses, got neither balloons nor stents. When the doctors got into the jugular saw no problems and had to back out. Strange...

I think it was a German lady. She had more tests after and the problem was found. She will go for her treatment again. It is good that they do not risk anythink. Good luck! Say hi to all nurses and doctors from me, please!

Erika, It is indeed reassuring that the doctors are careful about placing these stents. It seems to me that they have a careful and thoughtful practice going on there.
Greyman good luck, I will be thinking about you and looking forward to your updates. This is a first... live blog/commentary during treatment...
