Well, just as I had hoped, the Cardiologist says things are great. She said things are looking very good.

I think the only thing I have left to do is get to the Vascular Surgeon for that check-up.

Hopefully, things are still open in my legs and the abdominal aneurysm hasn't grown.

A little wisdom from the ancient ones. I wish I had paid attention to what they said .....

“Tobacco is a gift from the Great Spirit and is to be used only for spiritual purposes—never abuse this principle”
—“For if you do not respect this gift, you will never be happy and your health will fail”

Remember......

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.
