Thank you all for the kind and encouraging words. Especially he prayers! This is my 1st post since the adventure. Also the 1st time I've opened my computer in a month; lots of good reading waiting for me.
For any with a morbid interest: Chest and arm pains on a dove shoot Dec. 5th. Went away so I figured acid reflux. Same again on dove shoot next weekend.
Called Doc next day as used magic words; chest pain. Primary care doc did EKG and it was different from this Summer.
Referral to Heart specialist and he did stress test, abnormal. Entered hospital last tuesday in Dec for heart cath, and been there since till. Referred to Heart surgeon.
They did open carotid artery opening on Friday, open heart on monday. Seven by-passes, din't know you could get that many. Used vein from leg. All fine till friday when things went south.
Had to re-do both the carotid and heart surgery on emergency basis to remove clots. 2nd surgery busted my butt.
Spent 2 weeks in hospital cardiac recovery and home now. Tough recovery...Geo
