    If the docs do as nice of a job refurbing and sprucing up your ticker as VSI does with edgers, you'll be back kicking A@S and TAKING NAMES in no time!!!

    Hang in there!

    Leo, welcome to the club. .....................................

    Leo, welcome to the club.

    September first, 2 years ago I went for an angiogram and next day on September 2nd at 8am I went under the knive for a double by-pass and aortic valve replacement during 6 hours on the heart lung machine.

    Recuperation was hard and long, and is now in my opinion at about 95%, that is how long it takes, the one hundred and one problems coming up after, and nobody let me know about it. The last bit seems to go in a faster pace and I hope to be back to 100% in an other month or so. So if you need to exchange some expiriences after the fact, I will be available.

    Wish you all the best for a totally new experience.

    Chris

    Glad to hear you're out of surgery! My husband had a heart attack in January and surgery that night. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself; may yours get to the process quickly!

    Hi EVERYBODY AND THANK YOU FOR THE WELL WISHES.
    Yesterday I was so depressed and hurting but today I feel a lot better and am walking around.
    Apparently, I have had a couple heart attacks in the last year or so without even knowing about it. Last Sunday night I had a lot of trouble sleeping because I felt like I had really strong heart burn. I ended up going to work Monday morning, but was so tired from not sleeping. I went to the Doctor at lunch time, and he sent me to the ER for a chest XRAY. Next thing I knew, I was scheduled for 5 bypasses. Life can really throw some curve balls. I would have never expected that this was a heart problem.

    Anyway, Thanks again........ I expect a long recovery, but should be back in the office soon.

    Leo
