what is the lovely fireworks photo on the top banner with your initials? I tried clicking on it, but it isn't a hyperlink. Are we celebrating your birthday?? or just the fact that you were born

I think it is his 95th birthday.

Just the fact of my continued being!

On April 5th I suffered a massive heart attack, that's my cardiologist's description, not mine.

I was rushed to Deborah Heart and Lung Center for emergency surgery, i.e. three angioplastys and a stent.

I've been home on light duty since being released on April 9, primarily awaiting a callback for the possibility of more surgery.

I was called in for another round of "find the blocked artery" at 0930 yesterday and they decided I needed THREE additional stents. I was released this morning at 0900 and am once again home.

Thanks to Bill and all for the warm welcome "home".

James

I do believe James is a Black Cat (with 9 lives)!

Oh James, I knew you were one indestructible dude!! I believe the advances in heart surgery are HUGE and it is amazing what has become commonplace surgery now. It is great news that you found this now and have dealt with it. I personally know several men (well, not KNOW them

) who have had similar procedures and their heart was actually much stronger afterwards due to the relief of the stints. We love you James, rest and get as cranky as ever!

Wow, that was a major R & R! First they applied Service Pack 1.
When that wasn't enough, they also put in SP2!
Et voila! As good as new, and with a new lease on life.
Glad it worked out well.
I wish you a speedy recovery and may the Power be with you!

PS: I just want to add that the humanity of and on this forum is exceptional!
Gives me (and others no doubt) a really good feeling, that I/we belong to it!

For God's sake, live the life!

You've been warned several times and you still in front of the machine.

Are you waiting for the shutdown in front of your thinkpad?
Is that your samurai's philosphy regarding an "honorable end"?

Now, seriously: on august 2003, with only 23 years I suffered one and the first thing I do when going of the hospital was taking a weekend to the beach. I remember that I didn't touch a machine in the following days.

I think I did the correct. Do it yourself and relax. After that enjoy the live.

Hi Melvyn, glad to hear you are okay too. Don't worry, James is a really smart guy and he knows he is among friends here. I think it would do him good to feel the love, it can be just as healing as a beach.

skitty4gzus · #17 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:53 pm

yea my prayers are definitely out for you. the heart is delicate and not something to mess with, interestingly enough i walked into the ER friday night with chest pains. Ive had shortness of breath and pain in my chest for over 2 weeks now. i had an echocardiogram this morning and im just waiting to hear back from the doctor. im only 26 and things like this dont happen to "invincible" young men like myself!!! I will keep you guys in my prayers and dont leave me out either!

James, I am so sorry to hear of your condition. We all pray and hope the best for you.

James,

I wish you well and I am surprised to hear the news. Hope that you will recover fully soon...

BTW, today IS my b'day... well until 2 minutes ago...

James

jamiphar · #21 Post by **jamiphar** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:44 am

I'll be praying for you, James! My grandpa has a history of heart trouble (three or more heart attacks and a recent stroke), so I can definitely relate to what you must be going through.

James,

Sad to hear that bad thing.

Glad to hear you turned out ok!

Get well soon!

egibbs · #24 Post by **egibbs** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 6:16 am

Sorry to hear about the heart trouble James, and glad you are ok. Listen to the docs and do everything they tell you, no matter how unpleasant. It all sucks but it sure beats the alternative.

Glad you're doing OK.

Lucky that you went to Deborah and not some...other hospital I can't think of.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks Dan, the choices were Deborah or HUP and the Boss decided HUP was too far away.

LOL... If there's grandpa/grandma still using a thinkpad with Windows 95/IE edition on it and sign-up to this forum, they deserve to be the boss and their names should be on the banner! Hello, anyone there qualified, can you hear me? Are you ready to be recognized

NS · #29 Post by NS » Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:06 am

Oh James, pls don\'t fall sick again. I have not been in this forum for quite sometime and you fall sick... Are you all right now?

~~James is not 95 yet... he is around 60 or younger than 60 but not younger than 50...

~~

Capt James, i am going to make you promise that you will live up to a ripe old age and pls have enough rest and wishing you speedy recovery...

And to those who have not seen me in this forum for quite sometime:

Finally, i am back online again!!! :p and using the same old open proxy site to surf...

I have been very busy lately and some people know why...
