Thanks to all of you who emailed me and posted with prayers and advice. I had two 99% blockages and they installed some stents. This was complicated by my being infected with a hospital acquired bronchitis. RATS! That I have not yet gotten over, but it made it real easy to cough when I was told to. STOPPING coughing was another question.

This is the first time I have been able to respond to the wonderful response to my prayer request. I am certain it worked!

I’m so glad they were able to put in the stents you needed.
I will continue to pray for your recovery.

We went to go visit my MIL a couple of months back because she had 5 blockages at 95% and had to have some stents put in. The doctors didn’t think she would make it, but she was able to go home a few days later. Thank God for all those wonderful doctors out there!

Thank God you’re doing much better! Just be sure to think happy thoughts; that means letting go of going after the trolls for a while. The rest of us can take care of that. As for the bronchitis, I do feel for you. I’ve been coughing non-stop for two weeks, even while flying out to a couple other cities and popping cough drops every few minutes. What finally helped was my using a scented steam inhaler machine to sooth my passages. Hopefully the hospital will ease your bronchial discomfort.

You are a lucky man to have your girlfriend by your side. Tell her we’re thankful she is there for you, and we’re thankful you’re doing better.

I must have half a dozen stents in included in all 3 main arteries. They went well, thank God. Blessings for you.

Hey Swordmaker,

Glad to hear it! Prayers continuing, so that you rid yourself of the bronchitis, with God's help.

Gratitude to your GF, and the doctors who treated you. Here's to a complete recovery from it all!

And a rapid return to posting threads! And to no flamewars for a month, give that heart a rest. :-)

Just sayin'... -- Dayglored

Good to hear. Back in my Dad's day they just cracked open your chest, cut out the blocked arteries and grafted sections from leg arteries in, and sowed him back up. Easy Peasy. 😳

Excellent dude! Glad you’re on the upswing!

You know that bronchitis is probably just an undocumented feature that helps settle the stents in through vibration right? ARF!
