wow,you all have overwhelmed me again,im home now,it appears one of my main artery's had collapsed to 85% blocked ,just as it went through an old stent that had been put in years ago,so the doctor had to maneuver a new stent into the beginning of the old one,it took him a little while but it worked.
i was having chest pains on dec.7th and went to indiana hospital but they sent me home,and i was still having chest pains ,i then went to my cardiologist,who sent me by ambulance to indiana again,where my chemical stress test showed an abnormality ,i was then sent to upmc shadyside hospital in pittburgh,where it all took place.
i feel a whole lot better now,thanks to you all ,and your prayers and well wishes,and a really great doctor and staff,its the best place in western pa for heart problems.
but even more important to me than all of that is the great outpouring of support you all have sent me,it truly means the world to me to have the best friends in the world,along with my fantastic wife ,mother ,ed and family.
THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!john

Ain't it amazing what a little old stent can do!!!! I go six of em and still going strong. I KNEW you'd come out on the UPSIDE. Great to have you back!!!!

I know many with a stent or 6 in them. Wonderful little "invention" Glad ya back up and running again! Robby

hey john glad to hear your doing good! hope you have a great year. and thanks again from a newbe boater for all your helpful info!

have a happy new year!

I'm a little late the the party but i said a quick prayer for you. Good luck and all the best.

I've been gone for awhile / sick / work in that order. I would just say that a guy like John really makes an impact on a person when the first thread I started looking for was this one......

John, VERY glad everything worked out!

Now I'm going back to the three pages of threads I need to read to catch up.

I've been away from the site for quite some time with Holiday guests and travel, and am just now catching up on Forum messages. John, I'm so sorry to hear of your heart problems, but extremely happy to hear the danger appears to be over and you are doing well. Good job on getting the proper medical attention. So many people ignore the signs, with disasterous results, especially at this time of year. Anyway, like everyone says, now's a good time to kick back, take it easy, enjoy life and get healthy. your health should always be Project Number 1. Shannon

boy you all know how to make a fella feel good,thanks again for the prayers and kind words they mean a lot to me,and yep im taking it real easy ive been in bed all day with the flu,lol,thanks john

John, Take it easy! That Flu ain't no good either.
You need to get ready for spring. And all the stuff that goes with it. Keep well.

Health is number 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One day at a time.

John,
Sorry to hear about your flu. As you know from my E-mails my prayers are with you buddy. Take care of yourself and get better, the projects will wait, they're not going anywhere.

Bob

Glad ya are much better with the heart; sorry you have the flu. You are a tough one, just kick the flu with lots of fluids and meds and take it easy before looking back into any "projects"!!
