ss427copo reporting for duty, SIR!

Bru.........

You are the man! Thanks for letting all my friends here at SYC know. I appreciate that and the kind, genuine responses; YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!

I'm doing great. It wasn't like an elephant sat on my chest......more like touching the coil wire when somebody cranked the engine with my left arm. I didn't even wait for an ambulance! (too slow for me). Told Jr. to "fire up the Camaro, you're driving me to the hospital" hahahahah....what a ride! We made a 10 minute trip in 4 minutes........the tires marks are still tattooed on Marne Highway at each red-light we stopped at (good drivers)........then blew thru leaving a trail of smoke and the intersection like a cloud cover settled in. Half the ER was talking about the yellow car out front while the Docs were working on my ass! lololololo

One of the saving graces was getting to the hospital so fast to get stabilized. Fortunately, we have in South Jersey the world renowned DEBORAH HEART & LUNG CENTER (www.deborah.org). From the onset of pain to being on the catherization table was only 2 hours.......Doctors tell me most men wait days for the pain to subside. STUPID!! That's when ALL the damage occurs. Got 2 stents on my Left Ascending Artery on 5/13 and spend the rest of the time monitoring me, mainly because of the kidney transplant I had in 2000. They didn't want to mess with the only kidney I have, which my wife Debbie gave me.

Anyway, was in from 5/13-5/22....came home to enjoy my 6/3 Birthday and went back in on 6/5 for Stage Two when one more stent was added to my Right Artery. Got discarged yesterday 6/8,and THIS IS THE 1ST EMAIL I'm answering!

So...all tuned up....running on 5W-30 with the Cumadan and aspirin, had then give me a reverse flush while I was in the cath lab and asked for a turbo charged too; no luck on that request!

Like a BBC, I'm eating only the high octane foods (great blood sugar) and running at 36 degrees advanced (low fat, low carb) and even dropped 20 pounds! (that's worth a couple of tenths allow!!!) My Carb is dialed in at 100/68 (BP) and the valves are set at 24 intake 28 exhaust (new stents in the fuel pump). My 1st night home was great to sleep in my own bed.....CHECK THE PICTURE ATTACHED! lololol)

Thanks AGAIN to each and everyone one of you for your concern and those who sent me PM's too. I'll be posting real soon, stirring the pot for my buddy Darren and sending out pictures like the ones XPLANTDED & 427TJ got to those who ask!

Life is about giving; always has been, always will be.

Cool deal Jeff...I almost called you after sending you the email letting you know what I did...

I hadn't heard back and was starting to wonder. Now it all makes sense

Life is about the people that you meet. You are one of the great ones! <<<none of this unless the doctor okays it!

Glad to have you back Jeff. I thought about taking a certain gold car for a refresher course in Ford embarrassment but thought I better wait till you got back.

Listen to what those perty nurses tell you as far as exercise and eating habits!
