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

I hope they get the tin man fixed up soon so you and Dorthy can take Rachel and the rest of the yard apes for a good long bike ride.
All the best Chris. Will continue to lift you up.

Yeah, what everybody else has said so far. Good luck and prayers are with you.
Good luck at the Dr. today. You are in our thoughts...
Good luck my friend
Everything will be fine
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.
Glad to hear things are good.
If ya need something just yell.
Happy to hear things went OK Chris. Take it easy for a while. And, maybe trim off some of that fat ??? ??? ;D ;D
I knew you were too ornery to go anywhere.
You being here with Us is a good thing.
Glad the news is a mind easier.
Now it's time to take care of yourself.
Good to hear. Now just sit back and relax while that thing heals up. Have the kids wait on you, if you have to. :)
Sonny You been talking with my wife and my mother? They both said I was too mean to check out just yet.

I knew that the first time I read one of your post! ;D
J/K, You take care of yourself, you got 4 yardrats that need you.
Plus you got a whole lot of Smokin' to do.
You'd better send some of that bacon surplus down here...
I'll trade you for some turkey scraps bacon. :D
Good to here they found whats makin you feel like crap and really glad to here you can fix this with meds.
I bet the Doc said you need to loose some weight, thats the first thing they told my old man. He's lookin good now, thank God.
Take care my friend.
Glad to hear things worked out well for ya, Chris. :)
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.
Hey,
Good news Chris! I would'a been pulling for you too had I been keeping up on things. Glad to hear everything is good - or as good as good can be.
Glad things are working out. I hope you condition improves.
That's good news, Ten! Take care... i'm sure you're getting lots of "health advice" , probably OK to think about making some changes.
I am glad to hear that you do not have to be hospitalized. It must be a burden off you and your family's back.
Brad
Glad to hear thing went will
Remember there is always Doctor Jack " Jack Daniel's " ::)
Ketch
Chris,
Glad to hear things went well.
Take care of yourself!

Hi Chris,
First time on the forum today and just read this.
I'm so glad to hear this turned out well. :)
Take care of yourself!

Glad to hear everything turned out well for you!!
Glad all is well. I was never worried, only the good die young!
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
You just go buddy! Tomorrow is a new day and it is just for you!!
"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.
Glad to know all went well Chris.
I am glad to hear that everything went well at the Dr.'s visit. Rest up and take care!
Glad everything went well Chris!
Everything went extremely well. I had a follow up appt today and was told everything looks great see you in a year!! Woo Hoo!!!!! Yes I told him all the fun things I eat I didn't have a choice SWMBO was sitting right next to me narking me off when I fibbed alittle. Doc said sounds like your doing fine just keep it in moderation. Time to roll a fattie if you ask me!!!
GO FOR IT BROTHER!
Ah yes, what more could you ask for, a Doc that says go for it!

In the good ole days that's probably how you would have paid him.

CHRIS.. good to here do you need any pork fat ???
seemore
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).
Good to hear things are good 10.5. Ditto for above!
Glad your up and around Chris!! Just try not to get more round.
Great news 10.5.
