Thank you for the well wishes. Putting in a stent these days is easy peasy. Depending on what the doctor dcides it's either inserted in your forearm or inside thigh. Most often it's through the forearm.

You're under whats called ‘’twilight sedation’’ meaning you're fully conscious but numb in the area where the procedure is being done. Mine was inserted through the forearm. Had a long recoup time though. A month but then I also have a pacemaker so I had to sit it out for a while.

Thank you for sharing that!! I really appreciate it. It’s very likely that’s exactly what I’ll be doing (best guess) for a perforation. I just don’t get know the degree. Glad you’re crushing it! Sounds like you’ve been through enough already!
