Although I know you would have preferred her arteries to be clear, I think the outcome was the best possible given the extent of disease. And yes, they do not do anything for arteries that are less than 80-90%. I'm so glad she could have a stent.
It is true Betsi, women's symptoms are very different than men's. Diana, I would ask your mom if she ever had unexplained back, neck, or jaw pain, or any unexplained fatigue or weakness. She may not remember, but I'm betting that she had one or more of those symptoms at some point. They are all more common in women than the traditional chest pain.

Was so glad to see on FB that your Mom did great through the procedure and is doing great now. She is very lucky to be able to know her body and know when she should have something checked out. Wish everyone could be so atune to our bodies.
Now....go get yourself checked out...soon. Your family and friends love you!

The only time that Mom can remember having any problems was either last summer or the summer before (I can't remember). She had heat stroke really bad and it took her days to recover......maybe even weeks. I know that she was really tired after that. My guess is that it wasn't heat stroke but a heart attack........anyway, she's in much better shape now!! She went to work today......LOL She couldn't drive so Art drove her to work!!!

That is great Diana. It's just so amazing to me that something so serious can be done and then people are back to work the next day or the day after.

I saw Mom last night and she seems back to normal......not that she was ever sick or anything.

So glad to hear your mom is doing good. It is amazing that they can do these procedurs and then right back to work you go. Glad she had it done before any serious damage was done.
