I haven't said much about this, but for some time I've had a circulation problem, not getting enough blood to my left foot. Over the years the big toe turns black and gets sore. I've been to doctors but nothing has been done. Finally I got put in touch with a vascular surgeon on 6/22 and he did an angiogram?? (I did the question marks!) today, so I spent several hours at the hospital. He found the blockage and put a stint somewhere in my left leg today. I had planned to go to work tomorrow, but changed my mind after I got home today. They said I would be awake but not remember anything, but I seemed to remember most of it. I remember asking about when the needle would be put in but it was already in. Now it's just some mild discomfort where they punctured me "down there". Now, maybe I'm patched up enough for the trip. Still planning to leave 6/14. See ya at the Hoedown! Donnie

well that is good news, glad they found your problem, I had one vain closed in my right leg, had similar problems, still may have another one done later, mine is just tiredness and some pain.....
