I'm home

[David L]

Hello everyone, I'm home now but I still feel pretty rough, so I'm going to be brief, also they got me jacked up on pain meds so if I sound goofier than usual that is why.
A real quick time line of what happened, on Thursday the 17th I was at work and started feeling real bad, symptoms uncluded lower abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal cramps. I took a short nap, felt a little better and then continued working for the rest of the day. On the way home the symptoms returned and I started to feel really, really bad, when I got home I told my wife to take me to the ER. I knew something was very wrong but had no clue as to what. after a barrage of tests they finally figured out that I was having a heart attack. They put a stent in they artery that was blocked shortly after diagnosis. Tests showed that I still had three blockages varying from 70% to 100% that would require open heart by-pass surgery. Went in for triple by pass surgery wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). They said that I did really well and the prognosis looks great. I would like to thank everyone for keeping in thier thoughts and wishing me well and a special thanks to tommyboy for keeping ya'll up to speed through this ordeal. I need to rest now, more later.

David,
Wonderful that you were able to come home so quickly, that has to be a very good sign.
Do everthing your wife tells you to do, like eat more chicken soup, and you will be good as new soon and back in the shop.
This will give you some time to think about more wood you have that you can stump us with.
Rest up.

Kevin
