Good luck and prayers that they don't find anything wrong.

Good to hear you are back home!

 

I'm 40ish. Had I know I'd live this long, I'D HAVE TAKEN BETTER CAR OF MYSELF!!!!!!

 

haha to bloody right scotty .

 

the motto was...."Live hard, Die young, Leave a Good looking corpse"!!! I've dropped so many Harleys on meself, that in the morning, it sounds like I'm walking on potato chips!!! That would be "CRISPS" for you Brits! But you'll never hear me whine. BTW...My dog, Sweet William, an English Setter/Australian Shepard mix, just got "skunked"!!! He just wondered into the garage, and GOD does he stink!!!!!!!time to take care of business, goodnight guys!

 

well i went to my doc yesterday and got turned down to back to work i even asked for light duty but since i am still having minor chest pains every once in awhile he flat out said no way now i have to wait till i go to my cardiologist on wednesday to see if he will let me i am going stir crazy :banghead:so bad that i even thought about lying to him just to get back to work but i guess that aint to smart and if my wife or kids did that i would kick there butt will update later after my cardiologist appt

 

Take it easy buddy, you only get one go round. Hope your better soon. Me, I'm in the same boat as scotts74birds.
Never thought I'd make it to 51. I no longer believe in the adage of the day that said "never trust anybody over" 30. I ain't quite walkin' on chips but I damn sure got marbles in my joints. Still kickin' and wish I could find a job to get sent home from. Take care of your self dodgenut7. I wish you the best.

 

Good health and a long life is very possible with the early detection, and new treatments. So feel better, and dont get too down. With lifestyle changes and proper medication, you may end up feeling better than you have in years! If you are overweight, snore badly, and your wife says you stop breathing at night...you could have sleep apnea. A MAJOR stressor of the heart. My friend had it and was treated. He said he hasn't slept that well in years, felt ten years younger, and had more energy all day.

 

well today [wednesday] is my cardiologist appt i am hoping to return to work but i dont think its looking good still having pains off and on and today i had a pain so bad it woke me up [better than not waking me up] and had to take a nitro pill if the doc wont send me back to work for the rest of this week i am gonna push for returning next week even if its light duty not only am i going stir crazy :banghead: not doing anything but the bills dont stop coming in

 

well last nite was my first nite back at work and man did i enjoy being out of the house and finally doing something still have some issues but as long as i listen to my doctor and play it smart sounds like it should be ok

 

Good to hear!

 

Great to hear! God Bless, Dude!
