| Future plans | To hopefully once again regain a "normal" life. Right now I am still afraid to venture very far from home. Up until my diagnosis, I was an active adult. |

| Personal comments | I wish I had more information. My hospital appointed cardiologist is not one to explain much. He has said I should have a catheterization due to an negative stress test which showed blockage during stress. No restriction was seen when at rest. Since I have no insurance, the catheterization will not be done. Has not explained if there are any risks involved, but only said to not worry, and go back to my normal routine. |
