Well, the Arizona Heart institute is back up with the VIP program and I was Liberated Tuesday, March 1st!  Feeling SO good!  I can't believe how so reasonable simple this whole thing was!!! Yes, I was awake through the procedure, although in a twilight I could sense the movement in my veins. It's no big deal.  I was 50% blocked on the right side, almost the same on the left and my ayzgous vein was very restricted. There was tremendous pressure on my chest when Dr. Deitrich was opening that one.  Was fine in the recovery and all GREAT!

Remember, this is not a magic wand and everyone is different. I noticed even that evening much better movement in my eyes and better mentaal clarity and the fatigue GONE!!!

The AZI, staff and all the people were so professional, supportive and so nice.  I am so blessed to have been able to have such a world class, respected surgeon like Dr. Deitrich to perform this.  I met 2 other Canadian ladies, Doreen from Winnipeg and Valerie from Calgary while there and each of us had different improvement. I hope they are seeing improvement as well.

If you have been considering doing this DO NOT WAIT! Don't settle for 'managing' your symptoms, why would you not want to get the blood flowing the way it should.

As a forward, out of the box thinker, Dr. Deitrich advised he is now even working with a firm from Belgium to develop a stent that would be appropriate for veins.  The man is our hero!

Here's to continued improvement.
