Thats ok tom, you stick by it, libby was a cradle robber too.  Like BK said, my doctor wants to see me monday, I might know more then.  For those that hadn't heard, the wonderful stent they put in has been recalled lol, I've never had a body part recalled before tho a few probably should have been lol.  I won't know what to ignore until the doctor tells me lol. He got kinda bent out os shape when I took off in the bus 4 days after getting out of intensive care but I almost really thought I was following his instructions, he said to sit in my chair for a month (mine has a steering wheel) and look out the window ( I watched the yard go by at 65MPH), I had non refundable tickets to one of the greatest bluegrass festivals going on at the time and was late, and it was only 900 mles or so to it lol.  LIbby said maybe if I took a spring out of a ball point pen refill and put some ketchup on it and handed it to the doc he'd get a kick out of it, but I don't think he likes me much anymore.

Ok it's Monday night and I'm just wondering what Cody's Dr said, that he's going to ignor anyway!

So Cody have you and Frank decided anything so we can share it with others? I personally can work around anytime, as those who've been here before know! I can roll in and out at all hrs of the day or night and not affect anyone! (I even know now to park in the garage when I come in around 4:30-5:00 AM so my bus is not a target! (and if it turns out it is, please back up and hit the shop hard enough to make it come down on top of my bus please! lol)

I sure wish I had better news to share than what I recieved yesterday, I spent almost the entire day being poked and prodded and generally abused by a team of doctors bent on buying new cars at medicares expence.  I won't be at BK's this fall or anywhere else for several months at least not this winter, the heart attack heavily damaged my heart, the doctors seem to thing that just being verticle should be enough to make me happy, they said that the heart attack was massive and they were very surprised that I have survived to this point.  The stent is of the same series that was recalled but may be working well enough at this point to not be a major issue however they claim to be monitoring it.  The bypass surgury and valve won't even be scheduled for several months because they claim the risk factors on surviving the surgury are too heavily stacked against me.  I asked them about the possibility of putting in a new motor, they told me that because of my parkinsons they won't even concider putting me on a list, the available hearts go to the ones that stand the best chance of long lasting improvement. Of all the informnation I got I'm not sure what all to ignore or not, this was the second opinion I wanted to get and unfortunately it was from some very good specialists, life has evolved to the point where now they want me to wear a nitro patch at all times, they won't do a pacemaker or jump starter, they went back to the risk factors when I brought up that idea, looks like I'm burning oil with no rebuild hope. They are putting me into limited cardiac therapy and in time it's possible I can overcome this inconvienence to some degree and I apologize to any that wanted me to be a part of their sawdust piles but I just can't do it right now.

Well Cody we are certainly sorry to hear the news. But yer health & well being is more important than sawdust!   BK

BK said it best.  Your health is much more important than the sawdust.  I am saddened that we won't be able to get together with you this winter, but you need to focus on your health.
