[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1502895, member: 18945"] Had my weekly followup today a few days early. Still some serious soreness, swelling and bruising "down there" where they inserted the tooling in the artery to reach into my heart, and, that whole area is a dark purple, but it should start going away soon. Had a minor scare late last week. A lump started growing in my groin about where the incision was, but down a little deeper. Dr was in surgery so I saw his asst and she sent me over same day (thrusday) for an ultrascan of it and she called me Friday. The tech said it was an "unidentifiable mass' that looked like enlarged lymph node. (lymphoma runs in my family) Back to the lab for a full blood panel and had to go in today so the cardio electrician that did the procedure could look at it first hand. Said it was bruising on the artery around the plug they put in it. He didn't like my blood work results and asked about my diet after looking at my extended cardio chart for the last 2 years. Said "You've lost nearly 60 lbs in the last year..what you been eating?" I told him, honestly and he told me to "lay off that lean pork and chicken breasts and eat more beef", You need to build your blood back up so we don't have to start iron infusions". So, I stopped at Hofbrau in Porter on the way home .......... [img]https://s9.postimg.cc/cjshxsm5b/cfs.jpg[/img] Yep, tough world, but orders is orders and like a good Marine, I always follow orders. Probably not what he had in mind, but gotta start somewhere....... It's what's for dinner..... (My full time regular cardiologist had always told me "You can eat all the lean beef you want, just avoid fatty food") [/QUOTE]
