Hospital

Hi everyone, I'm sending this from a hospital bed, yesterday afternoon I had a heart attack, they're are going to do a angiogram on Monday Or Tuesday, they'll then decide if they'll put in a stent or do a bypass. I'm feeling good st the moment

[Jammer]

Well Mike, I guess retirement isn't going too well. I've got 4 stents, I've got other stuff going on and didn't feel any difference with the stents. Other people say they feel like running a Marathon. Hopefully you'll feel like running, but don't, what's the point unless something is chasing you.
Be strong and keep us informed.

One of my best friends was standing behind me one day at my shop and I heard him say, "Oh shit!" I turned around and he was lying face down on the pavement with no heart beat. I did CPR on him for fifteen minutes until the ambulance guys got there with a defibrillator and whacked him four or five times. They kept him on ice for five days until they got him stabilized. He was a semi-invalid for a year until he got strong enough to have a by-pass. That was five years ago and now he goes out running.

I had taken a class in CPR a while before that. Damned good thing. And then I was at his girlfriend's house for dinner while he was on ice in the ICU and she choked on a piece of bread and I had to do the Helmlich maneuver on her to get her breathing again.

Mike you really didn't have to have a heart attack, we would of let you in the club without it.

Take care of yourself is about the only thing that I can say, I had my first runin with the cardio people back in 2005 and they haven't killed me yet.

[Jammer]

Sounds great Mike, just behave yourself.
