I have good news to share also… I just brought my mom home from the hospital after heart surgery. With the use of good food and great supplements we were able to hold off this surgery for over 2 years, but finally decided to do it now while vax and mask mandates were relaxed. (Plus, her cardiac doc was really starting to freak out about it.) She is up and walking around, but just got her to bed. She’s feeling really good and I’m stoked about how she looks/acts/sounds. I really didn’t think it was possible to be sent home so quickly after heart surgery (32 hours after surgery + ICU), but several days ago while I was in meditation and praying, I heard “She will be home by the Feast of Archangels,” which is tomorrow. BTW, the ICU was packed with cardiac patients. When my dad was in the same ICU 5 years ago, he was one of only 5 patients. Today there was only one open bed out of 25.

Prayers to all FReeQs who are in the path of Ian ❤️.

Due to a childhood illness, I developed cardiac issues. I was told long ago that it was likely to occur. I totally lied about my medical history in order to get into the Army. I was always asymptomatic anyhow. I had no issues.

I really do like that framed award that I have above my chair where I now sit. The award that is evidence that I attained the very highest score in a Physical/Mental test out of about 200 or so other Trainees in my Basic Training.

I never had any issues until about 6 Summers ago. Then the problems became exponentially worse. My recovery time from even modest exertion became progressively worse. I managed just fine for a while, but within 7-8 months, I realized that I was dying.

Fortunately I had been monitored for a long time. I had EKGs, Echos, stress tests, all sorts of bloodwork. Finally I had my Cardiac Catheterization, met the Surgeon, and within a few weeks I was fixed. Unfortunately, they made me stay in the Cardiac ICU for a week. I felt like a million Bucks. I wanted to back to work the next day. They forbid me for I forget now, 5 weeks or so. Good thing that I had Cable. Being home alone in Winter forbidden to drive was awful. Shhhh, I drove anyhow.

Finally went back to work, and about 4-5 years following this Covid nonsense popped up, and after a year or so, I was exposed as an old man unable to keep up with those Young Uns. I had to resign. This was well before the Vax Mandates, which I never would comply with. In fact I told my boss that, when he called imploring me to return to work, at least part time. They removed me from the per diem list after I refused.

I remain fully credentialed though. There is hope for me, if they end this vaccine BS. CDC is working on that. I Feel You regarding the concerns of the current situation in the ICUs. The Administrations are responsible for a lot of death, and that is straight out of the Dark City.

That is great news about your mom, Pony! You have an amazing spirit in you that can hear the voice of God.

my now deceased FIL was out after triple bypass and despite activity restrictions, he was out shooting at a stray dog.....5 days after major heart surgery. He lived many yrs after that.

I’m very happy about your Mom. Your post made me consider that we may soon see a stampede of heart patients awaiting surgery to correct vax-related heart problems. Some of these may not be fixable until someone figures out a way to clear the body of the spike proteins that are made in the body post-vax and cause all manner of problems with the organs and vasculature. That leads me to further wonder if the unjabbed will become a higher priority for these types of surgeries simply because their heart and organ problems can actually be fixed with a good long-term prognosis.

I have a friend who had a cardiac event that did not quite qualify as a heart attack (extremely short of breath) and was scheduled for a stress test - 3 months later! (socialized medicine you know). The ER doc asked some routine questions and learned he was 55, employed 100 people and did not smoke. The doc said that he would state on the intake form that my friend had a suspected heart attack so he’d get his stress test sooner. He was tested within a few days and was admitted immediately for a quadruple bypass (he had a 90% and three 70% blockages). The ER doc was clear that not being a smoker and being younger than many with his problem suggested his prognosis would be very good, so he gave him a virtual push to the front of the line.

Being an employer suggested that the unwritten and unspoken rule in socialized medicine is that some lives are more worth saving than others. When medical resources are scarce, there may be a subtle desire to devote precious resources to those with the best potential outcomes, as harsh as that reality is. I see a similar situation potentially developing between the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.

My friend had very successful bypass surgery and went on to lose 45 pounds and otherwise clean up his lifestyle. I hope your Mom’s recovery is as smooth as his was.
