[SADXA] K7BHM Recovery

[k7bhm]

    To all my friends of CADXA and SADXA.......

        I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation
    to all of you for your thoughts and prayers over the past
    2 weeks.  I received well over 25 phone calls, and several
    cards in the mail. All were greatly appreciated.  From our 
    conversations it appears that what I went through is not 
    an uncommon happening.

        To bring everyone up to date:  Last Monday (the 7th)
    I suffered a "Mild Heart Attack"; as if ANY could be termed 
    "mild".  Severe chest pain and tingling of both arms. 
    Tuesday in the "Cath Lab" at Banner Desert MC, die showed
    3 areas of Left Coronary Artery blockage due to plaque.  
    As I lay on the table, just before the angio procedure, being 
    a former employee of Medtronic, I requested they insert the
    Medtronic Endeavor drug-coated stents.  I received
    three of them...You know..Reliability and Quality count!!!!

        After 8 days of relative rest, I just returned from my
    first check-up with my Cardiologist.  ALL IS WELL !!!!
    I can now proceed with the regimented physical
    wellness program at the hospital, as well as a controlled    
    diet.  Someone also mentioned that the best recovery
    route is a little "DX" in the log!!  Doctor's orders???

        Two comments for all:  DO NOT rely on your
    Cholesterol count as an accurate indication of plaque
    in your arteries.  For the past 4 years mine was
    averaging 170-190, and was 160 last Monday morning.

    and:  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE YOURSELF to
    the Hospital.  CALL 911!!!  It took EMT about 6-1/2
    minutes from the time of the call until my first dose
    of Nitro-Glycerin.

        Again, thank you all very, very much for all of your
    thoughts, prayers and calls. God was certainly
    watching over us!!!!!!
