I got this from Wayne yesterday, and I thought
I'd pass it on, as he is a long time member of the collective.
T
I'm scheduled to have surgery the 2nd week of
Aug. [Exact date & time to be determined] Part of
it is to repair where they messed up my right leg
when placing the 1st cardiac stint 3½ yrs ago &
the other part is to place a stint in the artery
just above the left kidney that will save the
kidney & hopefully lower my BP an appreciable
amount.. I'll be going to a better hospital w/ a
better Cardiologist in Columbus, OH. If all goes
well I'll go in one day & have the surgery then
they'll release me the next day. In the mean time
I've got to try & keep my BP below critical which
it hasn't been for a long time. Last week at the
family Dr. it was 264/122 & I thought I was done
for but stopped some medications seemed to help.
At least this week by BP was down to 228/128 so
that's a little better Now all I have to do is to
keep up the good work w/ the help of my dear wife
who recently became a CMA [Certified Medical
Assistant] who graduated 2nd in her class &
Nationally was only in the 99 percentile. vbg Now
if she could find a job in the middle of this corn field.
Thanks for all your positive thoughts, prayers & wishes
