I was scheduled to have an angiogram to examine my heart. The recent stress test I had showed an area that needs to be examined further.
They said there are three possible outcomes:
Outcome 1) the angiogram will show everything is normal, that it’s a false alarm. In that case it will be an outpatient procedure and I should go home without being admitted for a hospital stay.
Outcome 2) there is some reversible blockage they can fix with angioplasty and a stent. In that case they will likely keep me overnight in the hospital. That would require a week of recovery.
Outcome 3) there is extensive blockage requiring bypass surgery. That option would put me out of commission for a while.

Okay. I choose outcome number one!
Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. They won’t know until they are in there which of the three outcomes it will be, and litigation potential liability prevents doctors from hazarding a guess to calm my fears.
So I thought of the old TV game show where contestants had to choose between door number one, number two, or number three to determine whether they won or lost the game. The audience would wildly scream “choose one!”, “choose three!”, or choose two!” as if they had any clue what was there.
Thankfully, in my case, I couldn’t choose. The choice was in Hands bigger than mine. And He chose door number two: a stent with a week to recover.
Laying in the hospital bed the day after the procedure I am grateful for the outcome. Now I can go home and sleep for a week. Cool.
