Default Last few days have been interesting
Tuesday morning I woke up with a vice on my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. Called 911, EMS arrived within 5 minutes and was quickly on my way to the local hospital.

For a small town, I was very impressed with the way I was treated. Within an hour I was on my way to Washington Hospital Center. I don't recall too much of the past two days considering all the drugs that were pumped into me.

Yesterday afternoon I had a cardiac cath and came through with flying colors. They ruled out a heart attack, but aren't sure what was the cause of the intense pressure and pain. I was released at 11:00 PM last night, I'm still quite wobbly today and barely able to walk due to the the cath.

I've some testing to undergo next week to get to the bottom of this. On top of that, my new MR88 from Dan is here and all I can do is look at it My wife opened it and powered it up to ensure it works and it came in one piece. Thanks Dan for the perfect shipping!

Gordon.......Pleased to hear the MR88 arrived in good order. I am not pleased to hear of your ordeal. Talk about taking the wind out of your sail. The doctors and lab techs will get to the bottom of it. Do everything they tell you to do, and keep us posted.

Having had a heart attack myself I know that is not fun! I'm really glad, and it must be a huge relief to you, that the cath didn't reveal anything. I hope the find the cause of the pressure so you can have true peace of mind.

Gordon: You definitely have a bunch of friends here who truly care. Passing the Cadiac Cath is 95% of the way there so be positive. We are all thinking of you.
