Stents are a wonderful thing if they put in good ones, I have to get mine checked on november 10th, they think mine may be collapsing, they told me after they had put them in over a year ago that they had been recalled but they would work for a while, in Saginaw, on novenber 10th, they'll determine what to do if they are going poop, if they are shot, then I'm supposed to be moved to the university hopital in ann arbor for bypass work, now doesn't that sound like fun lol, getting my very own zipper, just like uncle ned lol. So if lukes got good stents he is able to buy a lot of good time before they need to be redone.

Hi Folks:

Thanks for your thoughts and concern.  I came through my two procedures in good shape.  Bill is home, recovering from surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.  He has some staples to be removed this week and hopes to come in for a few hours a day to at least work the phones.

I got out of the hospital last Tuesday and Doc said I could drive on Wed., but to hold off coming back to work until today.  My inclination was to come back last Wed. but you know, when you get to be 66, get a second lease on life (as I had a real close call), I thought it best to listen to the Doc, let the body heal a bit and come back today at 100mph.

Happy & SAFE!! Bussin' to All.

I had a double bypass in '95, forteen years and so far, so good.   I'm still able to do pretty much anything I want,  Just my experience.  Glad you are both doing OK!
