oneslim Posted June 27, 2013 Author #61 Posted June 27, 2013 Well,,,, I've been offline since the 17th. The good news is I survived the 'BIG ONE' . After a day working in the yard with 50lb. bags of sand I had masive chest pain that night. Went to the local hospital and was put on heprin in a flash. Had to waite for the blood chemistry to come back, It was A heart attack for sure. They transported me to Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden,NJ for an emergency cath. It showed a double blockage. They did the surgeury all day Friday. Was released today. SO,,,, nothing for the next four weeks have to take it real easy. I'm going to be slow in getting back to You for a while.
