Wednesday March 12

After 24 h to get over my jet lag we packed our overnight bags and headed down to Kingston. We left at 6 a.m. -- pitch black and snowing straight at the car. Roads slushy, slippery and dangerous for the first 50 km. Nearing Kingston it was lighter, warmer and the roads had been ploughed, so we got there in plenty of time for Bill's appointment at the hospital for another angiogram. A blocked artery was discovered, and two more stents put in. The surgeon gave us "before and after" photos of the area around Bill's heart -- fascinating as you can hardly see one of the arteries in the first picture, but in the second it is full of blood, as are the capilliaries around it. We also learned that one of his arteries was alreay completely blocked in 2006. "How can this be?" asked Bill. "You're alive aren't you?" was the reply...
