Howdy fellas, I got discharged late today from the hospital.They wanted me to stay longer but I couldnt get any rest and was still having some fibralation issues.I am extremely sore and emotionally and mentally exhausted.
I am told I was very fortunante as to the severity of the blockages and that I didnt have a massive heart attack.
I had just stopped to see my old buddy bob wendt to pick up some pee. On the drive out to his place headed to a short trip to kansas to pick up some glands etc I had an episode while driveing. I knew it was cardiac related as I had been taking some nitro for about a week off an on.Thankfully I made it back safely just in time for a scheduled cathe procedure.Immediate surgery followed.
I have a ways to go yet. Thanks to you all on here and some close friends for your calls and cards.I am off to bed and a handful of meds.
Bob J.

Feeling a bit better today but still quite weak with very little energy to work with.Not the man I use to be that is for sure before the surgery.A major shock and trauma to the body is the best way I can describe it to anyone not having experienced bypass surgery.I suppose it is going to take more time then I anticipated to recover.I am getting a bit frustrated in not being able do do much with my time.A patient man I am not . But in a case such as this one has little choice then to take it day by day.

what doyle said. no markets, sickness , bad weather, or lack of game, it`s tough to stay home and doing nothing. in fact it`s harder than working. look at it this way bob, your # 1 job now is getting better, and it`s a job. we`ll all be there one day, or dead. so looks like it beats dead!

just had my first visit with my surgeon today.He gave me the ok for long steady walking of 45 mins or longer or what I can tolerate.I use to jog alot and run a few miles a day and still had some bounce in my step for an older feller until lately. Gonna get out and work in the shop tomorrrow, have several orders to fill. Will get them done and get on down the road to see what I can do. If you see me lying along the road somewheres just pick me up and point me in the right direction again and I will be on my way once again.
Thank you all for your positive thoughts and wisdom. I have made some good friends over the years that are priceless to me even though we dont talk much.My old friend Jimmy Conner has kept in touch and some of you thru the web sites have given me great inspiriation to push myself beyond the limits.
This I need during these challenging days. Thanks to you all for being a friend. I hope to regain enough strength to trap this winter as that is my life and wouldnt know what else I would do without the promise of being in the fields and and bluffs once again.

You will be Bob, I know many who have gone through what you did, and worse, and it not only saved their life but improved it. The medical technology is so good now and it's so routine.............
Listen to the docs and ask if there's a program designed for rehab with light exercise at a gym, one that has cute young female trainers wearing those little Lycra shorts advising you.

Thank you FWS, the heart and mind still work just fine.Probably need to get just a bit more ambition and I will be back in the saddle once again. My ole buddy Bob W. is a wise man in many ways as his words and advice have helped to inspire me many times over in the last 20 plus years. I just never took the time or opportunity to thank him properly for his wisdom and candid advice.
