GAWildKat Posted October 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 13, 2016 Glad to hear you are still here. Cardiac stuff is scary stuff. Be careful and follow doc's orders. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kybigmac Posted October 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 13, 2016 When you say scars I take it you had the zipper installed in your chest. I have that scar from having an aneurysm fixed and a heart valve replacement in 07,almost died,30 days in a coma,38 days in intensive care! I'm happy every morning when I wake and you will be too. I bet some of your hunting buddies will be glad to help with refilling that freezer, so just relax and heal up it'll be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need somebody to keep your scoot lubed up, just post it, and we'll see about the costs,,, wouldn't be much I bet. Gonna take a while to get the strength back, so be patient, and do as your told. Where was it that you live??? might be around to visit if I'm in the area.

ReinyRooster Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share #14 Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks everyone. hard to believe that it was only one week ago today that they cracked my chest and played soccer with my heart....well OK, they didn't actually play soccer with it but sometimes it feels like it. One week and I am already home and recovering. It is amazing what modern medicine and the human body are capable of. Can't say enough goods things about the medical staff and the amazing care that I got. When it's all over, you simply leave.....don't even have to sign anywhere.....the staff are seriously understaffed and overworked, but for the most part, its an amazing system. Ride safe everyone.

saddlebum Posted October 15, 2016 Share #19 Posted October 15, 2016 .Gee Reinhard, I only just saw this, this morning. Not spending much time on the site latly due to all the chores I am trying to catch up on. Having said that I am sorry to hear you had such scary ordeal but extremely glad :178:you are doing well now. My father had a quadrupple and pulled through like nothing ever happened, and I am sure you will too. Back off on the sugars and Carbs and those delicius German baked goods (sorry). Take care and see you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinyRooster Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share #20 Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks everyone for the moral support. I gave up cigarettes over 30 years ago, but I'm a good German boy who likes his breaded pork schnitzel, sauerkraut, pigtails, beer........wait a minute......I'm getting sad here making a list of many things that I have to give up! Oh well, could have been worse. Ride safe everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
