You may see a post in a couple days.
I got an arterial stent to avoid an arterial blockage, will make a full recovery, but need maybe 4 weeks total to get there.

I still plan to do everything I planned previously, it's just pushed out further.

That said, thanks for the good thoughts.
Just wait till you go through a metal detector at an airport now!!!
Security are going to love you!!! Just tell them you were a walking time bomb before they put it in !!!!

That is great that you cought this in time.

My Dad had 3 Stints installed in Nov, and he is 90. Dr. said he was 99% blocked. they ran a probe in a vein from his Groin, amazing what they can do today with these tiny instruments.

He bounced right back after the procedure and a couple days in the Hospital.

I agree that these are necessary places, but sometimes you pick up some bugs in these places that are worse than what you went in for.

Strelnik, just get your health and strength back, the wrenching and projects will be there where you left off.

When I was in the hospital for my CABG, an old man gave me some advice. He said, "If it tastes good, spit it out."

Anyway, do you FEEL better?
