I’m a hemophiliac and I spoke with the doctor beforehand telling him that I usually get two units of frozen plasma before this procedure. He smiled at me and said that it wasn’t needed. An hour after my stent was placed, I began to bleed at the site where the needle was inserted. Two nurses put their weight on the area for 15 minutes and the bleeding stopped. This morning I had several episodes of chest pain like when I had a mild heart attack. I was supposed to call 911, but I really didn’t want to go back to the hospital. I took my Plavix blood thinner and I feel much better now. I have been resting in bed and taking it easy. Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. I feel like you are all my friends even though we may never meet and share a meal together.
