For the morbidly curious...
This is the "before" picture. NOT a happy heart.
This is the after picture. MUCH happier heart, though now a bit "irritable."
The artery is called the "left anterior descending," or LAD. Based on what I've read online, it supplies the largest chamber of the heart with about 78% of its blood. It was 100% blocked. It is not now.
I thank God.

wow...
I'm so glad that you're doing well. And yup, I was morbidly curious.
Michael, we are SO glad that you are home, on the road to wellness, and in good spirits! You were having a bad time of it when I came up, so I didn't have a chance to hug your neck, but know that you are heavily in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Ann (and Terry!)
Michael,
I will follow up with a more personal communication soon, but wanted to let you know that I've been kept up to date on your situation from the beginning and progress (thank you Jeannine!) and we've been praying for you. I'm so glad to hear that you're home and should have a full recovery.
Thank you for posting these pictures - they explain a lot and are a good educational tool.
Best wishes and much love to you, Natalie, and the girls.
Shannon (Whitehead) Mooney and family
