Missed the ride for breakfast, but had a previous engagement, I spend all day Friday and today in Pepin Heart Institute. Spent 2 lousy days getting poked and scanned by every thing known to medicine.  Bottom line had a minor heart attack, no damage to the heart. Now have a new batch of drugs to add to the mess I all ready take. Right now gonna crash, have had less than 2 hrs sleep since about 1 am Thursday.

Mind the drs. and take care of that pump, it's kinda important. Did they say you some blockage or any idea as to the cause of the minor blip on the screen?

Looks like there was some minor blockage, I am on a daily low dose nitro meds now and beta blockers. Doc wants to see how things progress over the next few weeks. If things stay normal with the drugs, nothing else will be done, if not looking at a couple stints being put in. I am hoping the drugs do the job.

I am OK, just taking it easy. I just had a close one, but thankfully got treatment in time to keep from any long term damage. Doc said I can still ride in a few days, just no strenuous work and getting over heated.

I will be ok, just starting to come down off the drugs. So dam dizzy yesterday and today could barely walk.  Between a dozen aspirin, nitro pills and blood thinners, plus injections for stress testing i have been on a cheap drunk. Had to type with one eye shut yesterday as seeing double most of the time.  Talked to the doctor today, and so far the prognosis is good.

My own fault, doing some yard work in the hottest part of the day and over did it. Came in and got the classic symptoms, pressure in my chest and left arm hurting like hell. said some thing to the wife, and she hauled me to the emergency room. Of course, had my ass ate out by my son and daughter for doing some thing dumb. guess it is time to bite the bullet and get a yard service to cut the grass etc.

Might want to call 911 first too Bill. Those self transports can be dangerous. This truly was a 911 necessary call. I'm with you on the yard work. It kills me every summer and by September I'm swearing this is my last year...then comes "Winter"...

Yes, I know that. But we decided to drive,15 min from my house so not too bad.  Hope fully I do not have to make that choice again soon.

Bill, keep in mind that if Rita had driven me to the ER, I wouldn't be here today. When the paddy wagon came to get me, I passed out just a couple blocks from the house. Found out later they did CPR and shocked me all the way to the hospital. I opened my eyes ten days later. If I had walked out to the car, I most likely would have dropped before I got to it. The hospital is just a few blocks away but I wouldn't have made it out of the driveway.

All right Bill. Stop this stuff, take care of yourself and get well! You are needed by a whole bunch of folks, starting with your family, and not so insignificantly, by all of us that got to know you and love you also.

Viv and I will be praying for you. Take care of yourself, and get someone to do your outside chores for you. angel

Sorry to hear you had the problem Bill but glad it wasn't any more serious.  Hope the meds keep things under control.  Stent surgery is not bad anymore.  I had three put in last summer.  They go through the wrist.  Hopefully it won't come to that.
That hot weather is for drinking beer not mowing lawns.
