Gut feeling is TIG is the one to avoid. MIG likely not so bad. Finding
a cardiologist
that knows TIG and MIG is going to be the problem.

Were you given a list of things to avoid?

Be careful and don't be a lab rat,

Hey Wes, don't be a wimp - is this the spirit that made your country
great - cant be, otherwise you would all be sitting back in England,
worrying about being shipwrecked on the way to America.....

Theres a lot of RF around anyway, the place is flooded with it. Cell
phones, power lines, radio transmitters - etc etc - and what if your
neighbor fires up his welding apparatus?......

And Don's probably in better health than hes ever been, after giving
up the smokes, lottsa exercise, eating properly - his main danger
will be from being beaten to death by a jealous husband! And if you
cant use your toys, is life worth living?

(Obviously, Don will make up his own mind on this one..........)

"Gut feeling?" Is that the feeling one gets just before everything goes to
black?

If Don is the smart man I think Don is, Don will not let Don's ego and the
know it all attitude of others answer this question. Don will go to the
doctor and ask that doctor or cardiologist. Either that, or we will put
"ANDREW SAID IT WAS SAFE" on Don's tombstone.

Since a 5 way bypass, aortic valve replacement, broken back, and current
ascending aortic aneurysm, I can personally say that anyone who doesn't
slow
down in the face of serious medical situations is an idiot with a death
wish. Don't mean you have to sit in the recliner in the closet, you just
pay more attention to the WALK/DON'T WALK signs. There's a lot of things
I've given up that don't make me think in any way that life is any the
less
worth living. I used to be a commercial diver, and have more time in a
decompression chamber than a lot of scuba divers have underwater. On
Christmas week, I was snorkeling on Kauai. Many times. I was dying to go
scuba diving, but thought that I might just do that exactly, and didn't
want
to put anyone ELSE in the position of having to take care of me. If one's
life is not worth living if they can't weld, then that life has to be
pretty
shallow. I don't think Don qualifies on that.

And Don, go ask the doc, and do what he says. Some here have enough
experience to give you valid advice. The others are talking through their
Carharts. The best advice is to ask the doc and do what HE says. He's done
pretty good so far, hasn't he?

Be well.

Apparently you don't recognize that you are part of the problem.

Got your share of the Bush trillion dollar deficit ready to send in
yet?
