My wife sent me pictures of Toby. He slept in my spot last night.
I have an angiogram today. If you have had one, tell me what to expect - I am a little scared.
They have on the dry erase board in my room that my estimated discharge is 5/10. I hope that doesn’t get moved. I want to go home.

Tomorrow would be great!! How are you feeling this morning?
Dr. WilliamsSW* prescribes more Sunchaser and Vespa time, less legal stuff.
* Not a real doctor, but sometimes play one on the interwebs

my estimated discharge is 5/10.
Okay, but how many stars did Variety rate it? What’s the Rotten Tomatoes score?
“’My Estimated Discharge’ is competently directed, but suffers from some long moments, padding, and a sense of anxiety that may or may not pay off.”
/sorry, brain is broken this morning

The angiogram is a picture with contrast if I remember correctly. Praying all goes well. I hope you are feeling better today, and get out of the hospital soon.

There’s nothing to be scared of mate.
An angiogram is a type of X-ray of blood vessels.
But as blood vessels aren’t all that visible on an X-ray.
They will inject you with a chemical dye.
.
For the test:
you’ll usually be awake, but may be given a medication called a sedative to help you relax
you lie down on a table and a small cut is made over one of your arteries, usually near your groin or wrist – local anaesthetic is used to numb the area where the cut is made
a very thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the artery
the catheter is carefully guided to the area that’s being examined (such as the heart)
a dye (contrast medium) is injected into the catheter
a series of X-rays are taken as the dye flows through your blood vessels
The test can take between 30 minutes and two hours.
Here’s a little bit more from the NHS website.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/angiography/what-happens/
EDIT:- I’ll cut and paste it here rather than sending you round the internet.

Angiography is carried out in a hospital X-ray or radiology department. It normally takes between 30 minutes and two hours, and you can usually go home the same day.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Before having an angiogram, you may be asked to attend a hospital appointment to check that you can have the test.
This may involve:
being asked about your medical history, including if you have any allergies
being asked about any medication you’re taking – you’ll be told if you need to stop taking it before the test
having a number of tests to check your general health, including a physical examination and blood tests
a discussion about the angiogram, including what it involves, what the risks are, what you need to do beforehand and whether you’d like to have sedative medication on the day to help you relax
If you choose to have a sedative, you’ll be asked not to eat for a few hours before the test.
You’ll also need to arrange for someone to pick you up from the hospital, as you won’t be able to drive yourself home.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You’ll usually be awake for an angiogram, although general anaesthetic (where you’re asleep) may be used for young children.
For the test:
you’ll be asked to change into a hospital gown and lie down on a special table
a small cut is made in the skin over one of your arteries, usually near your groin or wrist – local anaesthetic is used to numb the area so it doesn’t hurt
a long, thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the artery and is carefully guided to the area being examined – you may feel some pushing and pulling when this is done, but it shouldn’t be painful
a special dye (contrast agent) is injected through the catheter – you may feel warm, flushed and as though you need to pee for a few seconds after this is done
a series of X-rays are taken as the dye flows through your blood vessels
Sometimes treatment may be carried at the same time, such as inserting a balloon or a small tube to open up a narrowed artery. This is known as angioplasty .
Once the procedure is finished, the catheter is removed and pressure is placed on the cut to stop any bleeding. Stitches aren’t needed.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
After the test, you’ll be taken to a recovery ward where you’ll be asked to lie still for a few hours to prevent bleeding from the cut.
You’ll usually be able to go home the same day, although sometimes you may need to stay in hospital overnight.
It may be possible to tell you the results of the test before you go home, but often the X-rays need to be studied in detail and the results are not available for a few weeks.
While recovering at home:
rest for the remainder of the day – it’s a good idea for someone to stay with you for at least 24 hours in case you have any problems
eat and drink as soon as you feel ready to – the contrast dye leaves your body in your urine, so drinking plenty of water can help flush it out faster
you can usually return to most normal activities the next day, although you may need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for a few days
