A Toast to Pain

I have been chest pain free for the last three years, after my angioplasty in January of 2006.
The pain started again early last December of 2008.
My cardiologist suggested that I undergo a thallium scan to determine if my heart is pumping adequately.
I did have it and the results were not encouraging.
The results of the scan revealed that I may have another blockage developing in my heart so my cardiologist ordered another angiogram.
He said that depending on the results of the angiogram, I should prepare myself for a bypass surgery.
I should have undergone the angiogram as soon as possible, but my finances prevents me from doing it now.
I have to wait until first week of February.
God willing, I will survive until then.
Pain is not good, but since it is not killing me right now, it gives me strength.
Pain doesn't kill; it is the ailment that causes it that does.
Until then, waiting is good.
