26. Probably means they will be "consulting" you on what your options are and what they believe you

"should do".

Don't at all be afraid of stent. It's a blessing. Almost had a heart attack in early summer of 2012 ( had to have 2 in 2012). Almost happened again last summer. One of stents, after 10 years was blocked. Left side of heart only functioning at 37%. The procedure for a stent, piece of cake. Other options, far more brutal. (Heart attack, heart failure, etc).

You are in my thoughts and prayers. You will be ok. DU is not ready to let you go, dear one. Breathe deep. Remain calm. You will be ok.
You are in the best hands at John Hopkins!
