Lots of extra prayers for Phred have been on the way since 6 am, my time. I didn't want to miss it.

Lots of HUGS too!

I've been sending lots and lots of positive thoughts all day to Phred. Hope it all goes really well!!

Is it the Cardiac Catheterization he is having? There's some info about that on the site Karen posted. Click on Patient Preop info, then on the male body, and you can either read about the procedure or see a video clip.

No, it's his kidney they are catheterizing today. They have to wait until his kidneys are all set before they can do the angioplasty for his heart.

Still thinking of ya Phred.

I'm not sure if it's the same with all doctors but if they told him it's a relatively painless procedure, then it probably is.

They told Andy AFTER his surgery that the kind he endured was a very painful one. They didn't tell him before hand because they didn't want him to freak out.

Still thinking about Phred and hoping the procedure went well. He should be done by now....

I just spoke with one of the lovely ladies at the nurses station by Phreds room. He has not returned from the recovery area where they took him after the "procedure". They expect him to return within the next hour. When I first called the general Health Center switchboard they knew EXACTLY who John is and what was happening and where to find him. I think he has the whole center charmed, not a surprise at all
