Well I made it, I'm home. smile.gif
My right coronary artery has the first of 3 stents installed and working. :cool:
One more trip to the hospital in 8 days to get the other 2 in and I'm good to go. ;)
I can't help thinking that I'd much rather go broke,fixing up an old wooden boat. :rolleyes:
I'll at least have the energy ,If I ever get the funds, so I guess this is a good investment eh? :D

Do you feel a difference? I was astounded with the difference after my CABG.

Kevin, my buddy Jeff was 49. Smoker, but regularly exercised and was not overweight. It's called genetics. ;)

I'm on decaf and thats what they gave me at the hospital to take pills with, so I figure it's cool.
;)
I'm on 8 different meds right now and the adverse conditions and side effects suck. :(
I'm washing the evening meds down with my last 7 oz. Budweiser.
So there. tongue.gif
Actually I feel pretty good right now. :D
