Health update

[Westernbiker]

Hello all.
Well I am feeling much better but not out of the woods yet. As you know I had a heart attack on Jan 30th. It took 4 stints to correct a badly restricted artery. During this procedure the Dr. saw and had to deal with a couple aneurysm's. I was scheduled for a cat scan to detirmine the size of them. They do not automaticly operate to fix them unless the are a certain size. I have 3 of them and one turns out to be too big. So I am letting you all know that this coming Thur morning I will be headed to the operating room once again to get these fixed. I will be one to two days in the hospital after the operation and approx. a week at home, this is estimated recovery time. So you may not hear from me for a while. All I ask is for you to keep me in your thoughts. I will again send out a report as soon as I feel able after this procedure.
Thanks all, love ya!
Chuck

     Prayers being sent your way from Kentucky. I had a massive heart attack in April of 08 and they did 5 bypasses and a defibulator installed. Took me almost a year to get feeling better but all went well until November when I found out that I HAD prostate cancer.  That got took care of Monday by a robot and a fantastic surgical team in Ashland, Ky.  So I am back on the mend again and feeling great.. Highly recommend the Da Vinci system as there was very little blood loss-minor pain--two days recoup instead of 5 or 6 days with radical surgery.
   One word of advise to all the guys reaching the 50 mark or older-----HAVE THE DIGITAL EXAM DONE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR AND BLOOD WORK TWICE A YEAR.  Early detection WILL save your life !!!!!
