I'm a diabetic.... YAY!
I've had the same procedure done at the doctors office. I "passed" the test for now. I don't know when they want to do it again. They wanted to check and see how the blood is flowing to my limbs. Glad you have nice feet.......
Wishing for the best.

You are just too sweet for your own good...............
When you get your blood flow checked....just hope they do not have the jelly in the fridge.....when they checked my groan area this morning.....I had 2 Adams apples...........That stuff was freezing................LOL
I hope you are not a diabetic....my grandson is a type 1 since he was 14.....he is 20 now and doing awesome...
I will pray for you....and wish you the best
PS...I hope you have nice feet too.

Ok Joey;
You made very good observations as to the significance of the type and intensity and location of the sounds (flow detected by Doppler). The heart squeezes blood through the arterial tree. The ultrasound machine detects this flow and transforms it into sound so we can analyze it. If there are obstructions to the flow the quality and intensity of the signals change and the (pressures) also change. They change from level to level (segmental pressure changes) and from side to side depending on the degree and location of blockage. Note that this is just a screening test to help the doctor determine if there is anything wrong and plan what to do. Good feet is always a good thing. By the story you tell us you are going the right way.
Sounds like your left leg flow needs attention. The cardiologist might be able to help you with this or he might send you to a vascular surgeon. There are many options and technology to help you. Here is where the doctors make the call as to what to do next. Hang in there.
How about the arms? How were the sounds and pressures in the arms? Did you notice anything?

The arm test I do not recall any sounds that were made, just the cuffs tightening and loosening at different times.....none of the cuffs on my arms ever got really tight like taking blood pressure.....the ones on the wrist was extremely light pressure
She showed me a picture she took and you could see the blood flow.....it was not round like in a straw but squiggle elongated shape and also you could see to 2 globs of plack...the plack looked like chunks of broken rock sticking up on the inside of the artery.
Nothing I would have thought it would look like.. I had always thought it would be like a pipe and the inside of the pipe gets smaller as the plack builds up......like a 1/2 pipe with build up inside of the pipe until the inside is like 1/8 inch. smooth constriction.
Nope....like all different size rough rocks scattered along the inside of the artery.....spooky looking
I see how one of these things could break off and kill you........My ex mother in law had the rotor rooter job done on her neck......they said everything went extremely good ......45 min after she came out of surgery she was dead.
I go Tuesday for the THA ECHO 2 test
How in the hello do you spell PLACK????

Just for laugh's
Here is an absolutely awful sketch of what the swhooosh sound looked like and what the artery with blood flow and plack

The sketch is very good representative. It's all pumps and pipes but the devices to clean the pipes are very small and humans bleed and have a self driven on board pump. The same flowing issues you would have in a heat exchanger.
Sorry to hear about your in-law. This is a rare complication and, in justice to surgeons, only her surgeon and anesthesiologist can discuss this. These guys don't take these events lightly. It takes b@@ls to be a surgeon. Like a soldier, you have to be brave and willing to charge towards trouble instead of away from it. Don't let this event stop you from trying to regain your capacity to walk.

In no way was I blaming anything on the doctors who worked on my mother in law.......When the Good LORD calls you home....you go home!
Doctors are not GOD.....they are humans who chose a very hard and precise way to help other people............Over the years I have been in enough hospitals visiting sick family members to see just how hard and long these people work.
My Dad died with lung cancer and my mother had a GBM-4 brain tumor..The doctors who worked with my parents were a pure blessing to me and my family.
Any one who sues a doctor should be shot................bar none..
If I was in a motorcycle crash and hurt really bad.....I would rather have a very drunk doctor coming from a Xmas party work on me than a doctor who would say....Oh...I have had 2 drinks of booze so I can not touch this person.....because I might get sued...
OH...HELLO.....if the time comes for them to do a rotor rooter job.....or some more stints.....I will cry like a baby.....I am 1000% Chicken shirt when it comes to cutting on me. I am just 100% afraid of what they are going to do.....it is not the pain....it is the unholy amount of fear that takes over my mind and body
I get panic attacks just thing about the time they put stints into my heart in 2004....absolutely terrible
I can ride a M/C 200+ mph on a 2 lane country road and have zero fear............I bet my heart rate doesn't go up 20 beats

You are a humble good man. It shows and they'r are going to fix you up. Tell the guys you have that issue. Ther's medication for that. You will be awake and not even remember what happened.

There are a few times when I wished they would have used some of that good stuff on me....
I was a teenager when my left lung collapsed ......the doctor drew a red spot on my chest with a marking pen...I think he put a shot of numbing stuff in that spot.....Then the Sorry rascal crawled up into the bed with me and took a 12 inch long X 3/8 SS screw driver with a pyramid point on the end of it.....slid a SS sleeve about 3 inches long on the shaft of that tool...
With all his might he started to push that dang thing into my chest.......pushing and twisting it.....after about a min. of this torture it finally broke through the rib cage and into my chest. Once it was almost all the way in he pushed the sleeve down flush to my chest and pulled out the screw driver.....then slid a 3/8 rubber tube into the sleeve.....then removed the SS sleeve, and put one stich into my skin and into the edge of the rubber tube......then hooked it to a vacuum pump..
WHERE were those good pills then.................That event changed the way I feel when a doctor is going to do strange things....like stints in my heart...in 2004....it did not hurt that bad but the fear factor was off the charts...and the same for the vasectomy scarred to dang death...
I told you I was a 100% WOO WOO
If they do the rotor rooter thing to me....what is the name of those pills....I'll get some off the black market...incase they do not want to give me anything..............Lmao
