I don't know how old you are Chris, I'm 47. While having some tests for
another (electrical of all things) problem they detected what seemed like a
blockage. I went in and had the catherization where they get very close to
the blockage site and inject dye while looking at a monitor realtime. In the
end they decided that there wasn't much of a blockage and what was there was
located in a bad spot for ballooning. It truly is amazing what they can do
through a catheter. By the way, don't be shocked but you will be awake for
the procedure. No big deal, I actually enjoyed watching the procedure.

I'm going back in hospital in a few months for another catherization, this
time they will use some RF to blow a short that is messing up the timing.
It's actually like a parrallel resistor across a diode, so that there are
times I go into a parsitic oscillation.

I quit cigarettes a bit over 2 years ago, wish I had done it sooner. I take
a small aspirin twice a day and vitamin E once a day. Every male should be
doing this. It's been proven to be effective, even by the "mainstream"
medical community.

Health is good.
