First the heart, then a stroke..whoopee!

About two weeks ago I went in for another heart catheterization. All went well until a few days later, then out of the blue the sense of a huge injection of novacaine that hit the right side of the body. Immediate taking of nitroglycerine and two aspirins seemed to help. Other than a tad bit of slowness, a few hours rest helped. Thought it might have been heat related. Next day in mid-afternoon came a repeat, but after the nitro and the aspirin I went straight to my doctor. BP over 240, so he put me into a wheelchair and had me wheeled across the office complex to ER. Massive strong clot busters and BP meds combined with three days hospitalization saved the day. Back home now. Told I had had tow TIA's that were the precursor to a MAJOR stroke had I not been seen. Now 4 more heart meds each day. Great! That's 13 a day. Then we find the spouse is going in next week for a major hysterectomy. Life sometimes just gets curiouser and curiouser, but were glad we NOW have insurance...THANK GOD...Maybe this round will be it for a while.
Meanwhile, I still have several kilts that I you may need while I am are still able to ship them. Hopefully, this will not be viewed as SPAM since they will make some excellent Kidder Kilts for those needing the last sizes that are left in what was Mensplace eBay store...after which it too will be shut down. Attempt at some humor there. Blessings to all! Clarence Walker

Thankfully you saw the Dr when you did... I pray you take it easy and you recover from this setback... I will add you to my prayers..

Glad to know it got picked up so quickly. Hope no residual neuromuscular impairment. And may the day arrive when you can cut back on the meds.
All the best.

Any day you're above the lawn and outside the chalk lines is a good day. Glad you're still with us.

Very glad that you are still with us (timing is everything) May your wives surgery go well.

Thank you for the very kind and thoughtful words. The primary residual is very slow data flow between storage, processor, and data bus. Thank GOD that there has been little hit to data flow to I/O and peripherals except at day's end when the legs get funky! Blessings to all of the many fine people here. The unkindest cut of all..not even a sip of a cold brew in many weeks. THAT is just wrong!

Fortunate that they caught it so early, the effects reversable. Don't think of how much you'll miss that cold, cold beer but how great that single drink will be once you have it.
