Just got off the phone with my cardiologist and have an appointment today at 3:00. Have been very short of breath and just pressure on my chest for the last few weeks, the same feeling I had last year when I had to have a stent:frown:. Hoping it's nothing but he said be prepaired to not come home. A stent isn't the end of the world but means I'll have to give up my next few shows, as I won't be able to pick up anything over 5 pounds:mad:.

I'll definitely be praying for you, wishing you luck, looking for a 4-leaf clover for you, rubbing my rabbit's foot and anything else I can think of.
 
Roy, I'm really glad that you got an appointment and are going!! Please take care of yourself. My thoughts and best wishes are with you. Doc
 
Good luck Roy.....

BTW - what kind of pens do you make that are over 5 pounds? :eek::eek:
(Ok... just a little bad humor to lighten the mood a little :cool:)
 
Good that you are going today. Best of luck. Better to get it taken care of now then having something worse happen. Very smart move on your part. Let us know the outcome.
Hire some young person to do the lifting, they don't seem to be affected much by lifting.
 
Good luck Roy. I am going to the VA hospital at noon to see a cardiologist - but I think that my problem is my esophagus. Take care.
 
Roy best of luck,saw my cardiologist two months ago for heart cath ended up my heart arteries were fine but needed two stents to my kidneys far better to know and get treated
 
Just got back, and after all the test I will be admitted on Thursday for a Cathe to look for any blockage and instal a stent if nessasary. No big deal, stints are commonplace nowadays.

Good for you, positive attitudes go a long way to insure a quick and full recovery! :smile:
 
Glad they can do an intervention with a stent so you'll be up and around sooner. Keep up the positive thinking! Thoughts are with you. Doc

I had 2 stints in December after having a heart attack. While they have improved procedures in the last decade. I will still be thinking about you and praying for you. If you need anything let us know. Keep us posted on how your doing and make sure you dont over exert yourself while recovering.

Diane said no more shows until spring, but I have a decent show in December that I will try to talk her into. That should give plenty of time to recover, the last one was no lifting anything over 5 lbs. for a month.
 
4 heart attacks, 5 stents here.
I don't remember any 5 lb restriction. I do remember a 20 lb restriction.
IMO it doesn't really matter what the Dr tells you. Your body will really let you know when you have exceeded its limit.
I'm 66.
 
Had the procedure scheduled for Thursday AM but just got a call to come in tomorrow at noon so there goes lunch at my favorite Mexican Restaurant tomorrow:mad:.
 
It is today that you will go in for the procedure. Good to know that they are taking good care of you and sooner is better then later. Healing energy will be sent in your direction. Follow their direction after for a speedy recovery.

Best of Luck Roy. I wish we had met at the Bayou Art Show but at least you got to meet my bride Mary.

I have three stents and a pacemaker. I am active. Just recently went on a vegan diet and lost thirty pounds. I know you Oklahoma cowboys like your steaks, but you might need to trade for pasta for awhile.

We will be waiting to hear how things develop.
