Bru.........

You are the man! Thanks for letting all my friends here at SYC know. I appreciate that and the kind, genuine responses; YOU ALL ARE THE BEST! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I'm doing great. It wasn't like an elephant sat on my chest......more like touching the coil wire when somebody cranked the engine with my left arm. I didn't even wait for an ambulance! (too slow for me). Told Jr. to "fire up the Camaro, you're driving me to the hospital" hahahahah....what a ride! We made a 10 minute trip in 4 minutes........the tires marks are still tattooed on Marne Highway at each red-light we stopped at (good drivers)........then blew thru leaving a trail of smoke and the intersection like a cloud cover settled in. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif Half the ER was talking about the yellow car out front while the Docs were working on my ass! lololololo

One of the saving graces was getting to the hospital so fast to get stabilized. Fortunately, we have in South Jersey the world renowned DEBORAH HEART & LUNG CENTER (www.deborah.org). From the onset of pain to being on the catherization table was only 2 hours.......Doctors tell me most men wait days for the pain to subside. STUPID!! That's when ALL the damage occurs. Got 2 stents on my Left Ascending Artery on 5/13 and spend the rest of the time monitoring me, mainly because of the kidney transplant I had in 2000. They didn't want to mess with the only kidney I have, which my wife Debbie gave me.

Anyway, was in from 5/13-5/22....came home to enjoy my 6/3 Birthday and went back in on 6/5 for Stage Two when one more stent was added to my Right Artery. Got discarged yesterday 6/8,and THIS IS THE 1ST EMAIL I'm answering!

So...all tuned up....running on 5W-30 with the Cumadan and aspirin, had then give me a reverse flush while I was in the cath lab and asked for a turbo charged too; no luck on that request!

Like a BBC, I'm eating only the high octane foods (great blood sugar) and running at 36 degrees advanced (low fat, low carb) and even dropped 20 pounds! (that's worth a couple of tenths allow!!!) My Carb is dialed in at 100/68 (BP) and the valves are set at 24 intake 28 exhaust (new stents in the fuel pump). My 1st night home was great to sleep in my own bed.....CHECK THE PICTURE ATTACHED! lololol)

Thanks AGAIN to each and everyone one of you for your concern and those who sent me PM's too. I'll be posting real soon, stirring the pot for my buddy Darren and sending out pictures like the ones XPLANTDED & 427TJ got to those who ask!

Life is about giving; always has been, always will be.

Cool deal Jeff...I almost called you after sending you the email letting you know what I did... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Glad to have you back Jeff. I thought about taking a certain gold car for a refresher course in Ford embarrassment but thought I better wait till you got back. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Listen to what those perty nurses tell you as far as exercise and eating habits! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Anyone with clogged arteries, check out Chelation Therapy. It's an intravenous injection that was designed to get heavy metals out of your system. It was found to help many with cholesterol buildups as well. Worked for me over the last four years. No operation. No chest pain. Heart getting full blood flow. Amazing for something that many doctors say doesn't work. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

ok, since you guys brought this up..can I ask a couple questions on the subject...

I had/have some slight chest pains off and on for about 6 months..at first they were little twinges kinda to the left and right on my chest like once a week or every other week , about a week ago had some strong ones and thought cra& this is for real...went and saw the basic Doc we see for normal stuff..she hooked a machine and did a MRI ?? and said my heart was hitting on all cyl's fine and pulled blood and said I was a touch above norm on cholesterol but was not to worry or change diet, phew!! ...I do have heart burn and pop a pill each day to control it...she says it is probably the heart burn acting up...

question why the funky twinges...???? she is a pretty sharp for a do all Doctor and has refered me out in the past when she was not sure about something.

how do you guys describe your chest pains when its for real????

Thnx.

Bud,

DO NOT BECOME A STATISTIC! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif GO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST!

You need a specialist. They'll know what to do. You should have a treadmill or drug-induced thalium stress test to be sure. YOU......by the way are getting little messages from your heart; don't wait till the ticker says, "well, I was trying to tell you"

SERIOUSLY, statistically, most men wait....and wait....and wait on the little pain. When my L arm started to ache...and 2 minutes later, then my jaw.....I was outta the freakin' house....dial 911 if you're not close to the ER. I am.....and I'm proud to say the Camaro fired-up and my son cut a .400 light out the driveway!

Take my word for it....thinking about dying is not fun.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
