Thursday November 13 /2014 ALL IS WELL!!

Hello Everyone,

I met Ivan at VGH early in the morning. His angiogram was scheduled for 10:00 am, with a 3 hour recovery period.

When I returned at 1 pm Ivan was out of recovery and complaining that they hadn't fed him! He looked great and was feeling fine. The good news is that the angiogram showed no blockages or any other problems. He was feeling relieved and anxious to get back home to pursue his projects.

The Cardiac Testing Center just does angiograms and has no time to chat with family members. They made it clear the results go to Dr Wadge who may need to do further detective work to try and figure out what caused last week's two episodes. (or maybe we will never know)

Lynda and Evi (after organizing all his jewelry) think he has been working too many hours. He has no "pause" or "stop" button and this is an ongoing problem. We hope to launch a discussion on "slowing down"  as soon as he returns home.

Ivan is on the 7:20 pm ferry in the ambulance that returns him to St Mary's.  My assumption is he will spend the night at our local hospital and get discharged in the morning.

I will keep his medical journey blog details going for another few weeks with the hope that we do get some explanations.

We are all delighted with the current results.

I want to thank you Tania for being there for me, Lynda for making me dinner, Kate and Ricky for making me breakfast and all my friends who have been so
supportive and caring.

Warmest Greetings,

Evi

             Seems like there is hope we might get to Mexico if life stabilizes:)

I expect there will be a follow up with our internal medicine specialist so  I will keep the blog going.
