A good day yesterday!

[terryei]

kind of a long story short.
Beat the widow maker yesterday!
Feel GREAT today.  5 stints opened up 100% blocked artery and a couple of other bad places.  2.5 hours of surgery, I was awake with no sedation the whole time, really pretty cool.
Glad to be here, no more smoking, eat better and exersise more, maybe I'll be able to print a little longer.  I feel like a pretty lucky guy!

holy sh!t man,!? glad your ok. now go throw those cigs  in the garbage, nothing but trouble there. . . my mother in law still smokes, can't believe it with all the knowledge we have about what it does to you. . .now drinking moonshine, that's where it's at!

hold up.  They opened up your chest and messed with your arteries while you were just hanging out awake???

Or is this the kind where they put a little device in through a small cut?

Glad you feel better!

Didn't crack me open. went through the femoral arterie.  Amazing stuff....It's cooler than 4 color process.

Damn, you are lucky. Many don't get by the widow maker, it's got that name for a damn good reason.

[Chadwick]

Stay cool Terry.
That's a hell of a thing.
 
Glad you're still with us.
Cheers.

I bet you will feel better then you imagined in a day or two. Crazy man glad your good.

[Frog]

Wow.
I don't feel nearly as sorry for myself with my relatively minor issues.

[Coyote71]

Glad your still here with us. Really makes a person think about what we take for granted. Stay well my friend.

[Command-Z]

WOW, good for you! 100% blocked... and they did it all without zippers. Amazing.

Yes, ditch the smokes for good, take walks and start eating right... fresh foods and grass-fed meats.

One of my best friends had a quadruple bypass a few months ago, as he avoided the widow maker at a normal heart check up. They wouldn't let him go home and did the surgery the next morning. He feels better than he has for the last 10 years. Take care of yourself, there's people that care out there.

Good for you. I'm glad you feel better. I have Netflix and I ran across a documentary called "Forks, not Knives". It's about food and how you can change what you eat to help these kinds of situations. I recomend it to anyone interested in their health.

Thanks for the tip ron.

I have always liked the title of Mike Huckabee's book: Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife And Fork.
