Checking In

Just checking in to let everyone know that I am still around. 

I do come in and read blogs, comment if I think I have something to offer.

My computer time is here and there anymore. I can get on for a little and then have to rest for a while. 

I get to start the rounds with all my doctors in a few days. Routine for the most part. I already know there will be another gastroscopy. Doesn't seem like it has been a year since the last one.

Congratulations to everyone on whatever milestone you are celebrating today. Be it 1 day, or 100,000, it is cause for celebration.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
