dodged another bullet

[Deerslayer]

I had my 2nd heart surgery yesterday.

they fixed my right coronary artery with 3 more stints.

that brings my overall total to 13 stints.

I know, I am the luckiest SOB alive & possibly the only living man to have that much chrome.

That's great news man. Have you noticed a little more pep in your step yet, now that you are moving blood again?

[Deerslayer]

Ha.. not quite yet.
The doctors had way too much fun with me yesterday.
I'm feeling pretty beat up.

DragonLady did notice the color in my face is better now due to the good blood flow. 

It will be a couple weeks of rest & recuperation .. then will be good to go.

Good to hear John.         Keep on fighting

Glad to here it's going good, Prayers for continued recovery.

Be careful, with that return of blood to normal, it may not be the only thing returning to normal. 

These stinks where all placed from the main artery in the leg or? So recovery can be fairly quick.

Thanks Gord,

yes, all of my procedures have been thru the femoral artery in the leg.

when I was younger I could bounce right back... as you know the older we get... well 

1st day home I was pretty sore & wooped.
yesterday I did a 30minute walk in the morning & took a long 3 hour afternoon nap.
feeling pretty good today at day 3.

hoping to get the bike out next week.
