Heart Trouble in the Hospital

Well here i am.
The only thing known is it is functioning at only 40-45%.
While here maybe I can get some new parts.

hang in there , you might get a new valve or a pace maker

make sure they get you patched up good and do all the cardio rehab

dad had a heart attack last summer , they got him fixed him up now but it is some scary stuff

Thanks for the good wishes and advice.
Yes I sure will do the follow up.
Need the improvements!
Glad your Dad is ok.

Sorry to hear Willy, I hope they get you fixed up.

Sorry to hear of your heart troubles. BernieB just went through some also. Hope they fix you up soon. Modern day medicine can do amazing things. Take care and mind the Dr.s advice

Good luck, Willy.

They sure seem to be good at fixing that stuff nowadays. You'll most likely be good as new in no time!

Well Willy,im scheduled for open heart at cleveland clinic for a new valve in august ..radiologist also told me do the rehab!!!...I feel your pain and best wishes!!!!

Good luck

Watch when you smile at the nurses. \best of luck

If your ejection fraction is 40-45% you will be fine. Mine was 15-20% in 2013 before my first pacemaker. I'm still here. Good wishes for a full recovery.

Ejection fraction is misleading. Mine was only at 35-40 percent and I thought 100 percent was normal but 50-55% is normal. Meds put me back up to normal.

Godspeed there Willy…pulling for yah

Prayers sent do your part!

Willy im sorry to hear your having some health concerns. Prayers and well wishes sent from WV.

When I got my pacemaker the technician from Boston Scientific the pace maker manufacturer gave me a 15 minute or so explanation about what I was getting and how. When he was done he asked if I had any questions. I responded with did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? He replied as a matter of fact I did….lol

I am still here and no more heart block, Modern medicine is amazing! Chemo did my heart damage.

I hope Willy you head home soon and all repaired up, praying for you!

They almost couldn't believe how good /strong dad was in cardio rehab but blockages run in our family everyone is on thinners he had 3 80+% blockages

the good news is he never gets another colonoscopy , he was on day 2 off his thinners when he had the heart attack getting ready for a colonoscopy the next morning.

they said you stay on those thinners and keep up on the cardio that is more of a risk than not getting a colonoscopy. dad was 65 last year

he had been out fishing all day then in the late afternoon started to have the pain

hopefully they get you a good roto-rooter , stints and whatever else you might need and you can be back to doing what you like.

Friend of mine had low heart function like that for years, medication helped a lot, and he never slowed down,(commercial fisherman).
He finally had to get a pacemaker due to a tick bite infection. He has slowed , a little, he's 78,lol

You'll be fine, good luck.

Best wishes !

May 28, 2020.....I had open heart surgery to replace my aorta valve. Took awhile to heal, but I'm much better.

I see the surgeon Tue. to schedule an aortic vale replacement. I'm a little scared but what you going to do. I'm glad to hear it helped Tradervic. Good luck Westriver!!

Wishing you guys the best. And I hope you get decent roommates.

Get well soon Willy.Modern science is amazing.

My dad found out a few weeks ago that his heart was at 10% capacity he has 90 , 90, 100 and 60% blockages. They want to do a triple bypass and still got to get some more test yet.

Sorry to hear. Good luck

Get well soon Willy. The oil patch has lots for you to do !

Sent with prayer.

Hello to my friends,
Thanks for the kind wishes and most of all the prayers. I really appreciate the friendship and understanding that we have here thanks to Paul. Growing up in the old “tight-lipped trapper days” it is amazing that this many trappers communicate.

It is shocking to learn so many are going through similar challenges. I will be praying for good outcomes for everyone.

It has been a rough adventure here in the hospital and not what I expected. Tests show some heart damage evident of one or two light heart attacks. They are scheduling the catheter procedure to clean out whatever possible. The occasional chest pains are convincing me that this is urgent and necessary.

I am eagerly awaiting a new oil well’s first production. Production deadline is fast approaching. We need to keep this country fueled up and powerful. Managing production as a good steward of God’s creation has been very rewarding.

Hopefully God will bless me with recovery and some good time yet here on earth. My wife and I thank you for continued prayer.

Keep the positive attitude and you got it half whipped already. Modern medicine is amazing in what they can do.

The technology surrounding heart conditions and procedures is beyond amazing. They'll have you fixed up in no time!!

Hi friends,
The catheter procedure went well. It showed clean arteries which is great. But, now we don’t know the cause of the problems. They did not inform me of a plan. The Pastor came in today which was great! I remain positive.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers!

Hang in there, you will good as new in no time.

Continued prayers

This is great news hang in there

Praying they find the root cause........mine is faulty aortic valve. Hang in there!!!

praying for all you guys that need heart work too!!!!!

Hi friends,

Well, late yesterday there were no new tests planned so they discharged me. As of now, no known cause of the problem so we can’t do anything to prevent further heart damage. They told me to follow up with the cardiologist. So I am very happy to have clean arteries and be home, but will be cautious about what I do. Of course I will continue praying for all who need and are waiting for surgical repairs and treatment.

The weather here is cooler so for a couple days I will do a bit of recuperating by sitting on the porch watching the deer, ospreys, eagles, geese, ducks, and anything else that is close. And take an old guitar out there to try learning a couple old tunes.

Thank you all again for your kind thoughts and prayers.

Strange to read about all the heart issues. My father is 86 but never had heart issues in his life until recently. Starting to think it might be something to do with what we can’t discuss on here as I know SEVERAL people that all had what we can’t discuss and now they’re all experiencing some sort of heart issues and heart issues don’t run in their families.

runs in mine
