Yep, Ole kingcat had a heart attack. Strange, but it was lucky for me too, since they found a 99% blockage in the left main artery (yep, the widowmaker).
Performed a wrist entry heart cath' and put a stint in it,. and a balloon on another.
And here I am back home feeling better than I have in a while. Hope it holds.

Oh my, glad you are both okay. The widow maker got a guy I know. Healthiest guy ever. Ate well, jogged 3+ miles a day to try to avoid his genetics. None of that mattered.
Glad you're still around and posting. Stay well
Psalm 139-14 in the KJV Brother kingcat:
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well
Don't you forget to follow the old sawbones orders and take care of yourself, you hear?
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
Thanks gang.

Glad you are okay, Dave!
WOW, Kingcat I am so glad they caught it and you are feeling better. Glad God decided He wasn't ready for you yet. Take care of yourself, He has given you another chance
Damn, glad they caught it KingCat. Take care of yourself and focus on trying to get healthier. That goes for everyone on here, it just isn't worth it. We all could do better with our health, eating better (and less) and working out more. I don't want to lose anyone form this board.
