Went to my Primary Physician this morning. It's time for my PSA level. They are also supposed to run lipids and cholesterol levels I think. We will see how things turn out.

Tomorrow I see my Cardiologist. I wonder what she will want to run? Whatever it is, I am willing. After all, they are the ones keeping me going now.

Wishing everybody a Happy Halloween! 

May all your Ghosts, Ghouls, and Goblins be small...........

One step, and then another, will get you to whee 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.
