The down and dirty answer is they either hit the wrong artery or missed and went too far putting in the sheath to put in the stent in my heart. Some of you may know that when you puncture the iliac artery it's nearly impossible to get it to seal so a couple of pints of blood drained into the middle of my body for two days before the morons dealt with it properly. Their way of dealing with it is a temporary solution so I need to have bi-annual vascular visits forever now and possible have it replaced as often as every 3-10 years which is a minor surgery, a major surgery and it can be solved permanently. It also curtails my physical activities to a point that's unacceptable to me. Fortunately there was no damage at all to my heart so that will not be much of a factor going forward but due to the mess I can't even start that rehab yet so now it's been 3 weeks of nearly complete inactivity.
All of this has put my head in the wrong place making everything that much more difficult. I can't even drive my car and go for a ride to clear my head, riding a bike is out of the question so my fun for a while is going to the supermarket or local mall and walking around like an old person. Blah...
