I am do for Heart surgery in 3 weeks. Ed, I hope your operation is a complete success. I had a quadruple coronary artery bypass in March. What most people on this list do not know is that I had a 2nd and a 3rd heart attack in July and August. Apparently one of the graphs failed, causing the 2nd attack. They put in two stents. Two weeks after that, those two stents collapsed, causing the 3rd attack. It was resolved by putting another stent in there somewhere. :-) I am doing very well...finally. My secondary reason for posting this to the list is to *encourage* all of you old guys/gals to get a checkup. It may just save your life! Highest risk factors are smoking, overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress and diabetes. If you qualify on any of these factors, again PLEASE get a checkup. Thus ends my public service announcement. I now return you to your regularly scheduled posts. :-) Bob --------------------------------------------------------- Robert B.
