I move this to a new subject.

Thanks  I had a bypass in 99 was back to work 5 days later  but was 11 years younger than ,I,m hoping just a stent  butI don,t feel that lucky  this time either.,I just want to beable to leave the hospital walking out , not in a bag , I have way to much work here for wife to do alone ,If they can,t do me with a stent,I,ll want bypass right away  cause once I leave there I won,t go back,

Hang in there slotsteve I know how you feel. 16 years ago my 3 stints did not work as my vein collapsed on both sides of the stint work. Then had two bypasses that was 15+ years ago and I go for a cath test tomorrow. Back then they estimated bypasses to last ten years. Pushing 15 years and being 65 is a little worrying to me.

So I hope we  both get lucky. I know there are others having worse problems and still getting along.

Hang in their guys.....I really believe that stress is the root of many illness ... eliminate the stress you get healthy.

Whenever I work long hours or burn the candle at both ends....and don't get enough sleep I end up getting a cold or flu like sympthoms..

Whenever I get sick - I sleep its the best medicine - 3 days in bed and I feel great  ..........  when I am stressed - I don't sleep - then I get sick.

Some people get stressed over their health and that can be a vicious circle.

Stress comes in many forms and its not always the major things.....
......an example I once read involved a glass of water. Hold a glass for 5 min - no big deal. Hold the glass for an hour and your arm gets sore, hold it for a week and your arem feels like it is going to fall off......
Its not the weight of the water but how long you hold it in......

This however does not apply to good scotch.  rotflmao

A little bit of everything is fine - it's when you have too much of something that causes problems.
I wonder if that applies to slot machines?  Tongue Out

Glad to hear you're pretty much in the clear, hope the same goes for Steve.

The docs told me I needed BP meds, then a friend who is a cardiologist told me to start reading food packages and see how much my sodium intake was per day, and average it over a week.


Found out it was 4000mg/day, should be 2000-2500/day. I cut it down to 2500 and my doctor was amazed at how well the BP meds were working, then I gave him the bad (good) news that I had not taken it in a month.

Might not be the cause of yours, but it never hurts to check. Damn HCTZ pills gave me nasty headaches, I wasn't sorry to see them go away.

Just found this and thought I would jump in with my experience....

Back in '93 I was in a head-on motorcycle/car wreck. I got tossed off the bike and over the car, landed on my back and slid forever. I got up and walked away from it... good thing I was loaded, eh? Anyhow, back hurt somewhat for weeks... got it checked and nothing wrong. Ended up being sent to a cardiologist and they saw something wrong and did an angiogram.... found 4 blockages and said I needed open heart surgery the next day. I was 38 years old.... it was a shocker.

Fast forward to now... for the past 3 years or so I thought I was dying from the same ailments... docs fed me meds to control BP and heart fluxuations, but I was getting weak and losing weight. I was working in San Diego 2004-2009, away from home. ANyhow, I came home, on disability, in Aug 2009... found a local cardiologist that is cool, and he has been working on me. Since January, he put a stent in each leg... both were closed up thus the leg pains and weakness.... now they are fixed up. Last week I went back in to probly get 2 old bypasses opened up with stents. He went in, looked around, and di nothing. He said that yes, the 2 old grafts were closed, BUT the heart has grown a NEW artery bypassing the blockage. Only thing wrong is my heart is weakened from the lack of flow. He sent me home that day.

So, I have been able to go from not thinking I would make it into 2010, to thinking maybe 2020 might be a reality.....

All my problems are hereditary... cholestral, BP, sugar..... plus I sat on my ass as an engineer for 25+ years. Now I stay active and moving...

Good to be here, cool place.

Capt. He said he was a Engineer For 25 years, I think that means he got to drive the Train.   applause applause applause applause stir the pot / get cooking stir the pot / get cooking stir the pot / get cooking stir the pot / get cooking

I had to take a detour to my house, The air operated radiator fan started to leak air and the fan wouldn't come on, I didn't need to burn my truck up between here and Vegas. I've got it half assed fixed. I went to Santa Barbara to get this carnival ride and was only gone 6 hours. Durn machine had a litter while I was gone. Mark your going to have to take this hot sauce one off my hands. You let one Mexican in and pretty soon I would be over run with them,  I don't think I've offended any one yet today, so here goes. Do you know what you get if you cross a Mexican and a Oriental  ( A car thief that can't drive )   Bet your ass a mod will get hold of this one. They get paid to edit anyway.   Hail Hail

Capt Happy.... I do mechanical design work (CAD) as a contractor.... so I travel and have for about 27 years.... in SD I was working on generator and pumps for the oil and gas world. In the past I have worked at Boeing on Satallites, New Holland on farm equipment, defense jobs working on army tanks etc, and helped with the AirBus 380 where we did the landing gear. I was sure glad that thing landed ok!

Once this medical is ended, this summer probly, I may put my name back out there with the head hunters and see what work shows up. Its either that or give this small business a shot and see where it goes.

Beat Ron off of it with a whip if he gets near it with a dolley, or put hot sauce in his eyes!! bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing

Buzz,
This hobby's obessing ya... Tongue Out
Hey? Joey sells dart tips?

Here's a story about darts.
I was 19 yrs old and my friend tells me of this place in Montreal that has everything.
So, we jump on the bus and head into the city to the Montreal Dart Shoppe.
I end up choosing this really expensive set of darts & flights that have really sharp gold finish.
After about two or three weeks of playing darts like crazy at the local tavern
trying to win money to buy a case or two of Canadian beer -
my bloody hands are green!!!
We look at my gold darts and there's hardly anything but a cheap, looking dull gray finish left on them.
My friend busts out laughing telling everybody about how much I spent those cheap darts.
I still liked them though...they had great feel and I won
quite a few free beers playing competition with 'em....lol
