Rumors of my death ........

[Steve B]

have been seriously exaggerated.

Had my angiogram yesterday. Totally awake, I think the happy juice didn't work, or they gave me saline by mistake. Watched on a big screen, and was talking to anyone who would talk with me.

All five bypass grafts in great shape, replaced aortic valve in great shape, everything okay five years after surgery.

BIG Sigh of relief.

Now, just have to find out what's causing the angina.

Long story short, you will have to put up with me just a while longer.

Life is good.

So far.

Any morning you don't find yourself in the obituaries is a good one! Getting older is certainly an adventure. . .I keep wondering when my Wild Oats turned to Shreaded Wheat;-)

Hang in there!

Never heard of you.

Good luck if you are ill.

Had an angiogram on my lower right leg. Had two plaqued up peripheral arteries going to my foot. Enter the Silverhawk, cardiovascular surgeon's version of a drain snake with a cutting tip. 2 hours later plenty of contrast in those arteries where it was just a trickle. Seven weeks after that, I developed a PE from an upper arm vein and not a DVT luckily. I recommend a cat scan of your chest with contrast agent for that warm, fuzzy feeling all over :)

May they remain rumors only for many more years.

I'm a legend in my own mind.

New here, eh?

I have the nuclear variety every year and an echo. It showed some abnormalities, hence this angiogram.

Steve's on a mission to get SOME of his SS dollars back!

Thanks. But this is a lifelong deal. I write here often, as I do a lot of home repairs and have a lot of construction experience. Just try to help those looking for help.

One time when I was younger and diving commercially, I had the government take a $2500 bite out of a two week paycheck of mine. I said, "Well, I hope it goes to help someone." (I was thinking something entirely different.)

Good to hear it. About 35 years ago I was given a 10% chance of living

10 years (melanoma cancer) today a dozen or so new cancers later, I am still here. The last one they gave me a 97% chance of living five years. At my age, that's great even without the cancer.

Live the life you have and enjoy it.
