Guest guest Posted March 23, 1999 Report Share Posted March 23, 1999 In reference to the Heparin info.... JD was on Heparin in the latter part of September '95 when life-threatening blockages were found in his coronary arteries. His cardiologist would not let him leave the hospital for fear he would have a massive heart attack. A cardiac catherization revealed the left coronary artery was 100% blocked and was being fed by a smaller artery. He also had two 95% blocked arteries and another one was 65% blocked. On October 2, 1995, at 7:45 AM he was taken to the operating room and I walked as far as permitted with him. Instead of quadruple bypass surgery...he had quintuple bypass surgery. He came thru it like a champ... the cardiovascular surgeon and cardio vascular surgical unit nurses were truly amazed at his remarkable recovery. So was I... he looked wonderful... even right after his surgery. He was moved to a private room the next morning. His life threatening illness had been stopped. In March 1996, the real demon entered our lives... CJD. It is ironic... his life was spared from life-threatening arterial blockages... only to be lost to CJD on March 18, 1997.
