Costello to get stent for heart problem


Retired composing room printer John Costello will have at least one stent and possible two put in place next week because of blockage. John, who had a double heart bypass in 1990, said he passed a stress test just fine in April but later he became short of breath so he went in earlier this week for a heart catherization when the blockage was discoverd. He is to see his family doctor on Monday and cardiologist on Tuesday.
(Stents are metal devices that are placed permanently inside an artery to help keep it open.)

One of my joys during my Beacon Journal years was to give John a hard time about Notre Dame, his passion (as is mine for my West Virginia Mountaineers). Good luck, John. This Mountaineer is pulling for the Irish lover.
