Just A Quick Answer Please

[jennyjoan]

Have just heard my cousin took sick in work today and has had stents put in - son just rang me and has said she is just coming out of anaesthtetic. (sp)

She's doing ok - what has she had - like a heart attack. Thanks

stent
Medicine
A splint placed temporarily inside a duct, canal, or blood vessel to aid healing or relieve an obstruction.

Sound like a blocked blood vessel. Could well be a heart issue.

thanks OG - this is a cousin who has reared two fabulous kids without complaints and I asked her the other day - when are you are going to retire - she says until I drop. She is under immense pressure but would never tell you.

Will ring the son tomorrow - she will be ok - please God. thanks OG for your quick reply.
