Hope you had a great heart day!!!

0 11 14

I hope everyone had a great heart day, and got to spend it with someone they really care about.

Mine went pretty well .... kinda. Around 6PM I ended up in the ER. It seems I had a TIE. C-scan of my head showed no bleeding.

I have an appointment next week for Carotid studies to check for any problems there.

They also did a scan of my thorax as my breathing was very labored. I guess the COPD has advanced some according to the report. There is some deflation in my left lower lobe.

I went home that night and have been doing well since then.

Love to all.

Larry

About the Author

I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
