Prayers for a good outcome from the angioplasty. May that clear up some of the pain which it is undoubtedly causing. Thank you Lord, for progress, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Just got a call from the doc. She says the CT scan shows I have blockages in my leg. They’re going to schedule an angioplasty ASAP to clear them up. I’m going back to the VA for more tests this morning. See y’all later.
Are you home yet?

If you end up going first, let me know if it hurts. I’ve heard it does, heard it doesn’t. And those that said it hurts, weren’t just whistling dixie. I sure hope yours doesn’t.
First I heard of this Jim. As Reagan said, I hope they aren’t democrats! Count on another prayer shortly.
Thanks for the update, Jim. Keep your chin up and we will keep the prayers going up.
Prayers up that your doctors caught this in plenty of time to correct it. Good luck to you!
It’s actually good news. If they’ve found it they can fix it. Prayers up!

This year my mother had an open sore on her left leg that got better but didn’t heal after six weeks of treatment by a wound care nurse. A cat scan showed circulation blockages and tight spots in the leg.
She underwent an angioplasty. They were able to clear the main vein all the way down to her ankle. They did not attempt to clear the two smaller side veins below the knee. The sore then cleared up in about four or five days, and the leg is now doing fine.
Best of luck on your procedure.
Good news. Angioplasty is relatively non invasive & my experiences with 4 not much pain/discomfort after. Hope this helps the flow of blood to help the healing Jim
Thanks for update. I have known several friends/relatives the past couple years with the exact story as yours.. NON healing injury that doesn’t respond.. in each case it was a circulation problem they say.. I think the immune situation (doing things to protect the immune system) is worth looking into with.
With my cancer support groups, this is NOW TOP of the list of things to do..
Hugs to you FRiend! We’ll twist again, I am sure!
I have seen amazing success at the hospital where I used to work with this proceedure. Thank God that they at least know the cause of the problem.
I will be praying for a successful proceedure and a speedy recovery. Dressing those wounds must be difficult. Prayers going up for you now.
Prayers. And thanks again for all you have done.
God bless FreeRepblic and its founder, JimRob.
Prayers for you Jim!
Prayers up, Jim!
Prayers for a successful procedure and recovery.
