We had a first time poster who said they did not have details but asked for prayers on your behalf .... and then we waited .... and waited ..... two weeks later poof! .... they appear to have been answered .... i think ..... can you provide some positive ID that confirms you are who we think you are ..... who won the World Series in 1902?

Mother had triple bypass in 01', came home a couple three or four days later. She was lucky to have been treated prior to heart attack proper, was feeling ill " tachy" one day, looked quite gray, was admitted the next day and in surgery the next. When doc sent her home he advised she eat rich, artery clogging food for a week or two to help the initial healing process (verbatim) . Her procedure did use the heart/lung machine for some hours and she did experience a bit of the telltale depression afterwards but recovered well, color returned to her face.and still has the teddy bear badge of honor in the bedroom... kinda like getting the old family car motor overhauled just before it blew up, got bored-out cylinders to boot and probably 15 years more of being alive she otherwise would have avoided.

Have you given any thoughts to how you will enjoy your overhauled ticker?

God speed.

Am glad for your recovery.You need to understand how your large use of iodine that you have made big claims for years may have led to your heart disease.Dont take my word for it.Ask Mark Starr.You abuse of iodine probably led to your heart disease.You need to understand this so you can stop misleading people about the misuse of iodine.

Ah, so the poster was right to ask for prayers. Arn't you lucky we listened. Take care. My brother in law had another heart attack 6 years after his operation. He did not listen and kept on doing what caused his heart to fail the first time. This was followed by 5 strokes. He is currently in a nursing home. Nothing like giving good news. Dean Ornish follows the 10% fat rule. Maybe something to consider.

thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers and intution and just being some of the smartest people i know

So relieved to know you are recovering. Damn much to learn; but my first thought was; have you been in a car-accident lately. Where your torso was hit somehow. Compression.
