Not in Buffalo yet, just back from the cardiac unit...

#1 Post by Buffacuse » Sun Jun 29, 2008 5:02 pm

...where they had to put in a second stent Friday.

Started feelng numbness and chest pain Thursday PM and didn't screw around this time--went straight to the ER. Enzymes came back negative for a heart attack, but my cardiologist (who may have saved my life) decided not to do the standard thing--give me a stress test (see: Russsert) but sent me for a cath and...

...same artery as last time, just below the first stent--85% closed.

Anyway, back home, grateful I got a doctor who didn't go by the book, and Buffalo now one week delayed--they are holding his spot in camp open and since it's the 4th week he'll only miss four days.

I will never again worry about crying wolf and being wrong--too much at stake.

We are living in an age of medical miracles, I'm glad there was one for you.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

So glad to hear you listened to your body, and that your doctor didn't take a wait-and-see track.

Take good care of yourself.

...you belong to hermillion! (and the bored)


Listen, big boy,
Now that you got me made,
Goodness, but I'm afraid,
Somethin's gonna happen to you!
Listen, big boy,
You gotta be hooked, and how,
I would die if I should lose you now!

Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Eat an apple every day,
Get to bed by three,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh,
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh,
Lay off meat, ooh-ooh,
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!

Wear your flannel underwear,
When you climb a tree,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Boop-boop-a-doop!

When you sass a traffic cop,
Use diplomacy;
Just take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Beware of frozen funds, ooh-ooh,
Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh,
Dockside thugs, ooh-ooh,
You'll get a pain and ruin your bankroll!

Keep the spoon out of your cup,
When you're drinking tea,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Don't sit on hornet's tails, ooh-ooh!
Or on nails, ooh-ooh!
Or third rails, ooh-ooh!
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!

Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spree,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Wow, Buff! Stay well and keep on this. I guess the positive is that you now have had warning signs and will take precautions to ensure that this was just a minor blip in your century on this Earth!
