Well, here is news from the horse's month. I was taken in the early hours Thurs. Nov. 9th to the hospital. The ambulance driver looked at me and said, Tom, this box that you are wired into has never lied to me yet.  You have had a massive heart attack. I arrived at the hospital in Poplar Bluff, MO, and had a team of nurses, lab tech, and such waiting for me. The lady at the ER room hollowed my name and said it was very important for me to pay attention to her at this point and only her, so I did. She said things and really going to get busy for me when a Cardiac team comes in, They did, kinda reminded me of Gov. Agents, grabbed me, unclothed me down to bare meat and away we went. I had 100% blockage at that point. I was told, I had 10 mins from the time I got to the hospital and to the time a stent was put up into my heart.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WASN'T MY TIME, BUT I GOT READY TO LEAVE THIS EARTH JUST THE SAME. My wife shook me and I had passed out during this time. I do.................. believe in miracles.

Thanks folks for your prayers, and have a Merry CHRISTmas..

A Friend for ever!!!

Well Dang, Tom!  I'm sure glad that's over.  I reckon you're a pretty tough old bird.

Sure glad you didn't give in. I'm not so sure I'm through liking you yet.

Did they say you could eat steak?

Make sure you become a regular visitor again, you hear?

I really do wish that we could all get together again. Yeah Tom, I can eat steak, but for now it will be the size of a deck of cards :-\ well, at least I can still eat steak. I am going to be off until atleast the 10th of Jan.

I have been getting on here every once in awhile, just don't post like I use too.

Gee Tom, I'm sure glad you ain't dead.  That would be the pits!  It sounds like you had a pretty close call there. :o

I feel like a piker now, 'cause I only had a 99% blockage.  :D  You're gonna feel pretty good for a while, but it will likely be obvious that you aren't in top form yet when you get back to work.  Give that ol' ticker a while to restore itself.  It has been a little over a year since mine, and I'm continuing to feel stronger.  I was pretty wimpy for a while there.  Do what the Docs say, and get plenty of rest.

Nothing nicer to hear from the horses mouth, means you woke up on the right side of the grass.
