Hey Gunner: Sorry to hear about your ticker problem. It does sound a bit
like mine. Running 5 miles/day had quit smoking a few years before, after
coming back from a dive trip in the Yucatan and a hike to 11,000 in the
Sierras, I was doing my run and found just a little stickiness in the chest
which would mostly go away after a cough or two. The cough continued and I
went to the Doc to see if I had picked up a lung infection in the Yucatan.
90% blockage. Angioplasty took care of that, but 15 years later triple
by-pass was needed. I've never had any symptoms that I could even remotely
identify as heart related. BTW they took a vein from my left arm instead of
the leg. Recovery was quick and easy. No real pain anywhere. Even where
they used the brush hook to open the chest. Yep I got my flight physical
back by doing stress tests where my heart rate was pushed beyond 160. BTW
again your fix on my Victor lathe is still holding good enough for this
amateur metal worker. Thanks again. Just remember when you smoked you
smelled like a stale ashtray. That helped me. Have a fast recovery.
