    I'm Still Alive

    Couple of days ago I had an issue with chest pains.
    Went to the hospital, had a bunch of tests. No heart attack.
    Got a stint in the LAD wherever that is. Doc was concerned about battery in pacemaker, but decided it could wait.
    He said I'd live until I died funny guy!
    They kicked me out before supper, wife's cooking it now.
    I think I'll read a little then go to sleep.

    I am a sovereign individual, accountable
    only to God and my own conscience.

    Good to know your not eating hospital food for dinner. And that while a trip to the hospital with chest pains is no joke "I'm still alive" on a forum revolving around shooting, reloading, then shooting some more can mean a whole lot went wrong at the range but didn't kill me.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    Glad to hear it. Glad you're away from the hospital, too. They are dangerous places with all the infectious stuff all around.

    Glad you got tended to quickly. The LAD term stands for Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery. Ever hear of the term "Widow Maker"? It's referring to a major blockage at the beginning of the LAD and is usually a fatal heart attack. AGAIN, glad you got taken care of quickly. Following a Stent and Dr's orders you will be around for quite awhile into the future.

    Been there, done that, got the t shirt X5 and a zipper the last time. Take it easy for now and when the doc says it's ok START WALKING!!!!!!!!! Use a pulse monitor and when your pulse gets to 100 stop and rest till it returns to normal and do it again. DON'T SMOKE and if you had clotting problems, an 81MG aspirin and a single shot of the good stuff (NO MORE) once a day does wonders for it.

    Sincerest congratulations on still being with us. Every day is a gift, something to be grateful for. A new chance to "get it right." I'm still working on that last part.

    Actually the secret to a long life is to always remember to inhale right after you exhale. Repeat. GW
    "If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch,
    Yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
    And, which is more, you'll be a man my son!" R. Kipling

    Glad you are good. Widow maker (other than the aircraft) is a abdominal anularism? No wife says it's the silent killer. Green side of the ground is the side you wake to each day. Doc gives my batt 7 years, get a carotid chec this month.
    Whatever!

    Now...why can't they make flashlight batteries like that? Or, just make them so that they don't puke when the go dead?

    Seriously though...glad your still with us...I hope that you got a Doctor that could speak English!

    No batt. door on me, they just peel tha skin back and change the entire unit. You get a remote batt. check every 3 mo.
    New Poll - red or green jello? Actually had a good nurse on the ward that told me where the fridge with the choc. pudding was.
    Whatever!
