  • Drive Thru ?

    Maybe some of you have had this heart thing done already, but this is a first for me and i hope the last. Tomorrow morning will start off being a exciting day for me. My blood numbers are finally back in order so i can get the old heart zap back to what it should be ! That means i should have my strength back ( they say ) soon. This past week it has really been hard to even walk up and down the house step's and the same thing trying to climb in and out of the boat ( see i got the boat related thing in there ) to take it's gear off for winter. This all started back in the first of July ,but it seems like it's been forever ! At least i got 90% of the boat done this year. Chuck

      Not sure what "This Heart Thing " is but if it's a new stent you will be overjoyed! I got mine in February, and I am feeling much more energetic. It also cured the pulled muscle in my shoulder that was nagging me. I found out later that's called Angina, Who Knew?

          That worked for me too. Tired all the time, got real worse for a few days which made me think, Maybe I should go see a doctor. I had a heart attach and they put in three stents and it made all the difference in the world.

                  Thanks for the nice words. I'am back home but really tired out. I ask the doctor to set my heart back to a "40 year old" person, but he told me he could only go with my present age ...Darn !

                      43?...... That was what i was back in 1984 .

                      Maybe next week i will go get some of that cheap price gas ( watch the stock market ) i have been seeing with the prices coming down and add some Sta-Bil 360. I would have about 20-22 gal's on board not counting my 6- 12 gal reserve tanks in storage for later next summer. Should last all summer like in the past years.

                        Chuck glad to hear you're back at home. Let us know when you're up for a small outing, maybe we can put something together like an impromptu float on Lake Washington.

                          I had to go back to the doctors yesterday ( Friday ) as things were not going well since Wed. Still was weak, tried and could not sleep at night. My doctor was out for the day so they had me see another doctor. What a difference as far as the doctor explaining to me and Sheila about what to expect from the old body. Another pill ....but what this one does is making me zip along on the fast track to recovery.....SUPER !

                              Kelly , it's is amazing what a little pill can do as you said. Today i even jog up the front steps', even mow the front yard ,wash the driveway off and rake the flower beds. Ok now back to boating stuff.
