Good luck, Ken. I have you in my prayers. I had a similar adventure back in 2004. I had a little pain in my left upper arm (I thought at first it was from lifting luggage for Linda and me onto the Amtrack trains on a trip). At the local hospital, they could not find anything wrong, but the cardiologist wanted to take me to Emory Midtown (Atlanta) and on Monday morning I got the angiogram/angioplasty/stent procedures in an artery in the back of my heart. I've been running hard since and I'm 82 now and feeling fine. The current medical care is great and still improving. I'm sure you will do fine. Just let us know when you get out.

After the angiogram yesterday, the Dr. told me I need bypass surgery, which they will schedule for sometime early next week. I'm still hanging out here while waiting, which is kinda why I have time to send emails on the list :) Just wanted everyone to know in case things don't go well and you never hear from me again, at least you will know what happened. Only a small chance of that though ... they do a LOT of open heart surgery per day here (successfully), so they are pretty good at it. Ken
