I went in for a biopsy, but my numbers were so high off the charts, that they did the removal of the inflamed arteries, in lieu of the biopsy.

OMG! That must have been devastating for you. No one wants to hear they have a problem, nonetheless, a biopsy turning into a major surgery. Then after surgery, you suffered from major pain and a long, long recovery. I'm not a doctor, but I would imagine you suffered from PTSD from the trauma. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
