My father had a triple bypass which did him well for some years, then a stent
in the 4th one they couldn't do a bypass on before because the artery was too
small. No blockages just naturally small and twisty blood vessels in his heart
which age had stiffened up and contracted.
He was doing well with that until the esophageal cancer got him. Too stubborn
to get the annual endoscopies after the VA found his chronic acid reflux had
caused Barrett's Esophagus which can turn cancerous. Was too late when he
decided to let them check again.

Greets all;
I had an ambulance come and get me Sunsay evening, had presistent chest
pain. The local ER put a nitro patch in my should and call for another
ride to WVU/Ruby because I needed another session in the cath lab, which
they did Monday afternoon, going in thru my right wrist this time, and
replaced one srent that was clogged up. They changed the meds to see if
they can head off a repeat. Then my oldesr son, who is the onsite
mechanic for one of the powerline construction companies that goes all
over the country rebuilding storm damage
Went to the garage and found a block of alu that looked like it was
hiding a hub for a 32 tooth XL belt pulley, but the heat ran me back in
the house where we have some kin in from new york visiting and puttering
around collecting trash cause tom. is trash pickup. So I got a bottle
of miller 64 out of the fridge, came in here to catch up on email and do
my BP to check on that med. Took 4 passes to get a legit reading of
140/73. Tolerable.
So it looks like my garage time is going to be limited, as I was lifting
about 5x (the 8" 4 jaw chuck) the limit they gave me yesterday just by
picking up the 4 jaw and screwing it on. And the drawbolt for the
locking collar striped. So I'll either need to make another or cut out
a recess to allow a nut to be fitted.
I've heard rumors these stents were 6 month fixes and that is about how
old they are. But even with them, I'm only pumping around 31%. Thats
not really good enough for the long term.
Stay well folks. And you can get it the 2nd time, I've nephew-in-law
that's sick with it again right now.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
