I’m sorry you were given this news today Keeping this Quit is now very important No No more slips Wishing you a quick recovery 🐸

Doc just left me with some pretty bad news. Prepare for bypass surgery in my future. That artery was 90%+ blocked in multiple areas that he covered with the 2 stents. Stay off nicotine, diet and more cardio type exercise will slow the progress. This is what my plans already were as long as I could exercise, and without the stents any exertion was impossible without nitro. So in other words, get responsible for your actions and Grow Up before you can't. KTQ Stew.

Ok, left my room at 2:00 back in a critical care room at 9:00 with 2 new stents. 😎😰. After the initial entry and with a mild sedative, I watched the entire procedure in real time on the huge screen at my left side. So it was very close, the left Circumflex artery was blocked in 2 places. I don't know if it was total or what percentage yet, the doc will visit in the morning. I do know when he would squirt the dye in, part of this artery would show sometimes for a split second and then just disappear. Spent 3 hours in the recovery room dealing with the artery closure brace that is pressurized to stop the blood flow and give the entry wound time to clot. This is slowly deflated over time. Maybe out of critical care tomorrow or Wednesday depending on a few dangers inherent to this procedure. Dodged a big bullet Thank everyone for your wonderful prayers and concerns. I am extremely happy to be able to say.... KTQ! Stew.

Nope!

NOPE! Awesome pics, @Cbdave and @Stewbum As a child of the '80's, I was fascinated with the Mount St. Helens eruption.

Nope!! Not Tonight. Mount St Helens- Washington- Cascade range My girlfriend and I "who is now my wife" were sleeping in my apartment 270 miles away. We heard the eruption as it shook the window above my bed. I was 19 years old.

N.O.P.E. 🙏

Sorry to hear this news, Stew, but you know it is very important to keep the quit at this point. You can do this once and for all.

NOPE!

Sorry for the bad news. I'm a "glass half full" person. Hard incentives or wake up events can become great positives. You know exactly where you & your health stand and what you need to do for yourself going forward. And it's all doable ... especially the no smoking part now. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all knew the risks of smoking (or we were living in a hole someplace) but the pull of nicotine addiction (or any addiction for that matter) is strong. You got this. (I''ll put my bat back in the closet. You really didn't need to go to this personal extreme to prove you meant it when you said you would not smoke. I really would have believed you. 😎 ) Rest - Recover - Rest

Sucks to get that kind of news but it does add even more motivation to live as clean as possible; staying off the smokes will go a long way to keeping you off the table again for as long as possible. Onward & upward Stew👍

NOPE!!

Yikes! Scary stuff @Stewbum. Glad that intervention was timely and that you’re here with us to tell the tale. Take good care! KTQ!

WOW You really did dodge a big bullet!! I'm so pleased the procedure went well although it must have been strange watching it on a screen! I hope you get plenty of rest and are out of critical care as soon as possible. 🙏🏻 You come across as strong willed so I'm pretty sure you'll be much stronger when you fully recover. 💪 Take care and lots of healing vibes going your way!
