- LIFESAVERS
I was prepared and bought bags of Lifesavers, there already gone but Amazon is on its way! In the SOS posts is to look back at your own post's. Well this is a LIFESAVER in itself.. Everything I am going through is listed by my own hand. And some answers to my questions and help is there in my personal messages and posts, it's a hell of a read. Thank you all for the help and friendships. You all are also LIFESAVERS! Myself fighting and having had such incredible convictions to my quit is amazing. I need to get through this and be THAT GUY. It seems so long ago but as I read my memory of the plans and setbacks are crystal clear.... why did I fail.. I know exactly why. It did have to do with the "one" but what I allowed to get me to that "one" is the problem. There was so much more in my life that gave way to failing. Same exact thing on my pervious quit!!!! I cannot explain in an open forum since I would not want to supply other quitters with excuses to be anything but truthful to their quits. Watch that NicoDemon he is shrewd.

NOPE!!- chicks or sticks
Ha Ha Ha slaps on the Chicks. Nice battle there CB 00- The Smoking Heart !!
Surviving a Widowmaker and the cardiac arrest is definitely dodging the bullet. To date I have had 7 angiograms and 4 stents or angioplasty. The spasms are called Variant Angina or Prinzmetal's Angina. Because the spasms work on the tight areas then stop with Nitro the troponins levels show there has been a heart episode, but the flow could be there when they are in. There is a provocative test they can do when they are in that will cause the spasms to happen so they can see which ones are the issue ( I also have an additional coronary artery) but it's fairly rare in the US because they may not be able to stop the spasms and it's an immediate cardiac arrest. This test is very prevalent in Europe but the % of good outcomes are scary. There is a local cardiac nurse that had it done, she did have a cardiac arrest but did survive. I am all ready for and pushing the angiogram in hopes that it will require angioplasty, but we won't know until the procedure. With the spasms there are underlying issues that could cause problems during the procedure with the balloon and a stent as you could imagine. What is the most worrisome is that there is no stent needed and my body has gotten used to the Emdur and support medications. Sorry for the long-winded reply. Yes. KTQ- The Smoking Heart !!
Thanks Reci. Prayers are appreciated. Doing good at the moment even finished the water heater install and mowed the lawn. The Emdur will wear off in a couple hours then it will be a flip of a coin as to how the night goes. But back to as I call it, Chicks WITH Sticks.- The Smoking Heart !!
Stress test is scheduled for Thursday at 3:15 pm. Will know more after that? Hopefully the next few nights won't be as bad, or I will just have to check in.- chicks or sticks
