Re: [MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga
Good luck Curt, it sounds trite, but they really have this stuff down now. I had angioplasty on my right femoral artery when I was 30 because it was 90% blocked at my knee. Then at 33 I had a fem/pop bypass on my left femoral artery which was also 90% blocked. The doctor had no idea how these blockages occurred at such a young age. The good news is it has been 22 years and no recurrences in either leg. You will feel much better after the procedure.

When he was 61, he went on a 100 mile mountain bike ride the Sunday after Thanksgiving (this is in Michigan, where late November is not pleasant cycling weather). The day after that, he went to the fitness club to work out, and died on the incline board doing stomach crunches. He was the fittest he'd ever been in his life when he died, and he had a massive M.I. while doing partial sit-ups. I wonder what the med student who got that cadaver thought.

Re: [MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga
Very interesting to watch if they have a dedicated monitor. My Doc replayed several time for me on my 1st one, 22 years ago. Bad things happen to good folks, one partner about 40 years old in my Cardiology Group dropped dead while jogging. It was devastating to the group. For the last 10 years, the thrust by my Doc {Senior Partner} has been to keep folks in a quality lifestyle consistent with their needs, wants and abilities. What will kill you for sure is ignoring the basic signs that are manifested in cardiac distress. Pete On 1/26/2010 5:26 PM, R A Bennell wrote: Good luck. Hope it all goes well.

[MBZ] OT: The ongoing saga
So you may remember the chest pains I started complaining about a couple months ago. We've been noodling along assuming I had some kind of GERD and then last week the doc had me get a cardiac CT just to finally rule out my heart. Last night he called, the CT looks iffy so I need a cardiac cath. Today I talked to the cardiologist, I've got a 75% blockage on the ascending whatsis (thats my technical term) which is, as they say "bad". Worse still theres no guidance in what you do when a 33 year old has 75% blockage. Anyway it sounds like tomorrow I'm probably going to get a stent put in... So I may not be on the list for a couple days and suddenly I'm not so worried about he right side dash light in my 240D burning out, although I did order some LED bulbs to try out. Gives me something to look forward to. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
