Title: Follow the Yellow Brick Road!!
Post by: Tenpoint5 on March 24, 2010, 02:52:31 AM
As soon as Dorthy gets out of the shower she will be taking the Tinman to see the Wizard of OZ.

Translation:
I have been having some intermittent chest pains, so I went to see my Cardiologist. Spent last Tuesday in the clinic doing a bunch of testing. They spent 4 1/2 hours testing and still couldn't find a heart in there. Well I passed all of the tests but one. The one that involved some nuclear pictures that indicated that there was some blockage somewhere. So it was either do a different stress test and maybe see something or do an Angiogram and know for sure. So I will be checking into the Hospital at 5:30am for and Angiogram at 7:30am. As long as I don't wake up and its really really hot, I will be doing good.

Just thought I would let you know.

The Tinman

Well all the prayers and well wishes must have worked. Doc said there was two blockages in there one 15% and the other 30%. We are not going to worry about them at this time. We will continue with the course of treatment will the current meds. So I will be around to pester everyone for awhile. Thanks again for all the well wishes.

Now its time to lay low until the hole in my femoral artery heals itself shut. Should be 48 hours then I will be back in action.

Great to hear you're doing better Chris! Seems there's a lot of that kind of thing going on, two people I work with went through similar things, but the results weren't quite as good. It's great to hear your results were better.

I will say this even after a couple Velvet and cokes which I was told I could have. My groin still hurts and is quite stiff after having that damn chunk of collagen shoved into the artery to plug the hole. maybe a good nights sleep is what is needed. better yet some bacon for breakfast!!  ;D ;D

"My groin still hurts and is quite stiff"

Ya, I remember those mornings  ;D, the great youthful memories!

Hey, compared to me, you're a young 'un! My generation didn't believe in seeing the Doc until we were on our death bed so I congratulate you on getting to the Doc.

I hope you do as much research on your health as you do on your smoking!! We'd miss you here! In the last year I've had to adjust my diet quite a bit, which is why I now make Turkey jerky or Pork jerky rather than Beef Jerky. Truthfully I think Turkey jerky is the best of the three, but, point being, you can still enjoy life if you're willing to adjust ....

Am very glad to hear it was not as serious as you originally feared.

Wow I just got to read this 10.5. Glad all went well. But don't let your guard down. You need to stay around alot longer so we don't start burning our food. Oh yeah and your wife and kids might want you to keep paying the bills or something like that. I can't really talk as I need to lose at pile of pounds and I am starting to work on it.

Missed all this drama (busy week - buying a new house) but don't quite understand the concern since only the good die young.  Not having qualified under that rule, you're stuck hanging around with the rest of us "bad ones" until you get old (and you ain't even close to there yet).
