Wow, that is quite a story!  Makes me feel good given the condition I am 
in since a heart attack the last week of September. I had had a 
pacemaker put in the first week of January & figured I was good till the 
battery ran down, which would make me 95 then.  But in late Sept they 
had to install a bunch of stents and even had a computer controlled 
aortic booster valve in for 3 or 4 days. Then they decided to install a 
replacement but had to first install some bigger stents here and there 
to get room to do the valve replacement thru the groin. ATM I am bruised 
and beaten from the middle to about the left hip bone.  So I'm stiff and 
sore but slowly healing, and Dave sounds like he's had a much rougher 
time than I.

There is something that makes a survivor and we both apparently have it 
as I am one of the less than 2% that has survived a pulmonary embolism 
when I was 79. That I can testify to, is NOT a good way to die.

The next trip to the cath-lab in mid December will install the valve, and 
bring my tickers pumping efficiency up quite a ways from its current 30% 
or so.  Then I can quit worrying about it till the battery tires.  I 
wish Dave the best, and since my chances of seeing him are poor because 
of the kilometers, tell him I said to live long and prosper.  He and his 
collection is famous even here in WV


Cheers, Gene Heskett
