Author Topic: It’s not been the best year for me Jarcat Player Member # 95 posted 05-04-2021 10:53 AM                     First I had my identity stolen. After about a month that hopefully is cleared up. Now after several exhausting series of tests I have been found to have some potentially major blockages in my cardiovascular system. I now have to have a heart cath done (what ever that is) to determine exactly how much blockage there is. Hopefully it can be corrected with a couple of stents. If not I may have to have open heart surgery. In the meantime I’m supposed to not do anything strenuous, exercising , mowing the lawn, having sex (no problem there), etc. -------------------- The truth is out there Posts: 3014 | From: Lexington, KY | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged rlt4uk Player Member # 3194 posted 05-04-2021 11:47 AM                    When it rains it pours. Hopefully they can put stints in. I have four blockages and eight months ago the Doctor put stints in three of them. It's outpatient surgery it took around ten hours from the time I got to the hospital until I left that afternoon. I'm telling you this to hopefully ease your mind. I just prayed for you and will continue to do so. -------------------- Bleeding Blue in south Alabama. Kentucky born, Kentucky bred,I'll be kentucky until i'm dead!

I am a man of strong faith and a firm believer in the power of prayer. Your words are very comforting. -------------------- The truth is out there Posts: 3014 | From: Lexington, KY | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged clydeh Player Member # 7 posted 05-04-2021 06:48 PM                     Jarcat, I am also a person of prayer and will pray for you. I have been through open heart surgery and it went well without complications. Who are your doctors? I went to medical school at Uk and may know your physicians.

I had 3 stents 9 years ago and have done ok. Hope that is the route they take but I have several friends who have had open heart and they have done well also.

After spending 7 hours in the hospital I was found to have only one blocked artery. It was fixed with a stent and I'm good to go. I can resume full normal activities tomorrow. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, guys. -------------------- The truth is out there Posts: 3014 | From: Lexington, KY | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged Old Norm Administrator Member # 1482 posted 05-10-2021 06:29 PM                     You bet. A blocked iliac artery was what finally convinced me to quit smoking after 52 years, especially when the surgeon said, "If you want to do this every year, just keep smoking." -------------------- Pray For Our Country!

I earlier asked the names of your doctors, but I didn't realize that all of my friends are too old to be working any more (just like me) Posts: 845 | From: Cullman, AL, USA | Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 05-10-2021 08:15 PM                     Great news for sure! -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Tiptree Administrator Member # 844 posted 05-11-2021 11:38 AM                     EXCELLENT news, Jarcat!
