Grown kind of partial to you, Lefty. You gonna up and join the Foreign Legion and not tell anyone? You're supposed to let people know in advance.

Hope all goez well.

.... you obviously didn’t drink enough to keep your pipes flowing right lefty

... momma had a couple stents... didn’t do it.. had to crack her open and she’s good now... they said the blockage was in a bad intersection though

... hope you do good with it ol hand

Be glad that you live in the time we do. I have two stents. These devices are inserted into arteries on the surface of the heart to open them blocked with plaque. Without them they would eventually become so blocked that you would have a heart attack and maybe death.

Well, if I ever go on a stint to get me a skank, but end up with a stent, I will need someone to help me to pee.
You know, with the restriction on lifting anything over 5 pounds and all...

Best wishes Lefty from all I hear max benefits / with min risks.

I know how you feel, man.

Buddy just had one done he was gone a short time did not tell me until he got back never missed a beat after that all good now 100%.

I got one in my widow maker that was 95% blocked 10 years ago and have had no issues. Still can't play the piano!!

Just like an old truck getting a tune up.You're good for another few miles now,Lefty.
Except you're gonna have to quit eating greasy food.

One way to keep your blood pressure down is put the above poster on Ignor
and put on some horse blinkers so your eyes don't wander over some of those Texas girls derriers.

Got one december 5, right side artery blocked. Just ready for bed bad heart attack,911 got me to hospital!
Heart stopped they got me going again, lucky to be here! Been six months and feeling good.
Only spent two days in hospital,like i said LUCKY!

Take care LL. I got put on high blood pressure meds last month. Made it 46 years without meds, but also made it 46 years without going to the vet

181 over 110 doc said I needed a medal

Stints seem to be very common among us. Haven’t had mine yet. I did have my heart shocked into rhythm three years ago and it’s behaved ever since. Just lost 35 lbs, which helps also.

Hope you have a thorough recovery.

I'm doing well guys I've even began picking on nurses again this morning

Neighbor,
I know we were figuring out a good time to catch some lunch one of these days, but you went and put a hitch in your giddy-up I see.
I suspect you had it done here in SA?

Complications are infrequent and prognosis is typically excellent but then again you have been driving in that left lane all these years, so God only knows.
Prayers this morning sir that the docs got you all piped up and that our Maker keep His Hand on you a bit more these next few days.

Blessings,
Mark

You should be fine with the stint . Most last quite a while with no problems . It is amazing what they can do to keep the old ticker pumping .You should be able to do anything you had been doing , and maybe more . I have a bad family history with heart problems . Even though I do all the right things as far as taking care of my health I still have problems . Four heart attacks so far ,walked into the hospital with each of them . Two open heart operations for a total of six bye passes , and five stints so far . Still upright and mobile though . I haven't missed a trapping season in 69 years ,and still cut and split my own firewood . Had my second open heart this last March . In and out in five days . Open heart is so routine now there is almost no chance of a bad out come . They did my last operation because I am in good health (except for my heart ) for a 78 year old ,and they were sure I would do fine . As many on here know they have many ways to overcome heart problems . If you think there is a problem get yourself in and get it fixed . The tough guys who don't think they need doctors are the ones that often end up gone to soon . Glad to hear you got patched up ..

Picking on nurses or flirting? I thought you just found a super hottie you were spending your time with.
