> Good morning, Thank you all for your kind concern. I am home and felling fine. Never did have any pain as such. I was up most of last Thurs night with pressure in my chest. Cat fed me aspirin and antacids. Went to Dr Fri morn and did an EKG and straight to emergency room. They confirmed I had a massive heat attack and admitted me. In the process of doing stents they found a AAA lower aorta aneurism bout the size of a grapefruit. Gotta go back and get that dealt with. The vascular surgeon says that he can do a "Y" shaped covered type stent on the inside of the aneurism but he will have to get it special made since I am a total hip amputee and one side branch of the aorta is a different size than the other. While I was having a CAT scan they found small holes in my left hip wing bone and thought it might be cancer. They had the whole hospital a hopping to get me transferred immediately to Thompson cancer center for a full PET scan and evaluation. Thankfully the ca

Probably the only place I got fat.. While they were doing the heart cath and stents the nurses had me covered from my private parts over. It wasn`t till the heart Dr came in to tell me the results that he noticed I was an amputee. So for the next hour or so I am splaining how I balance the Harley and do the clutch and transmission and how I do the clutch on the big truck and the tarps and chains and how my prosthesis worked and what in the world a fwd GMC motorhome is. I am sure if he had any hair he would have been scratching his head. Speaking of hair guess I`ll get back to pealing glue where they had electrodes stuck to me. Every time a different test was ran they had to peel and re-stick the electrodes. I kinda look like an old harry dog with the mange. So no driving till Sunday (Moms hou

> I am truly grateful for all your prayers and concerns and hope you will join me in praying for Dan. If nothing else maybe I am an example of hope. There is no reason for an old junkyard dog like me to be so blessed and a fine pedigree like Dan be dealt such a lousy hand. I do know there are powers beyond our perception and there is always hope. Some times all it takes is for one Dr to see something obvious that no one else has.
