Not one to talk about my health on this forum but I saw tractor in the field on the way home. Yesterday I spent most of the day in the hospital in Waterloo Ia. I have a family history of bad hearts. My Dad and several uncles have died of heart attacks and my Mom also had a history of heart problems. I had a 4 bypass heart operation 8 years ago so they keep a close watch on me. I went for a check-up last Friday and they didn't like some of the results and suggested I have the procedure where they run a catheter up the vein in your arm to your heart. They want you awake but put you in La-La land. I thought I was fully awake until I felt the dye go up my arm and I could feel weird things in my chest and all of a sudden ZAP. Wow-they said my heart reacted to the oxygen free dye in a bad way. I thought I was only in the operating for 10 min but the wife said I was in there an hour. When they took the adhesive sensors off my chest 2 of them came off hard-they were the ones that they sent 100000 jigawatts through me and the nurses all came over to see how bad I got burned--just red. Results looked fair-have to be on nitro pills the rest of my days, so if you need any stumps blowed, let me know. The X-rays are from 8 years ago and hang on my shop wall. They show the staples and the wire that hold me together. That's all, sorry to bore you but have time on hands today, supposed to take it easy....----Tee
