February 16th i celebrated my one year anniversary.
Anniversary of what? My open heart quadruple bypass surgery.
Doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by already.
All the outpouring of love by the people here really helped me through a very tough time.
Even today, I have pain from where they chopped me open. Not horrible pain, just kind of a reminder of what happened.
Again, I thank all of you that were there for me, and for the Wii that you got for me!
I'm STILL enjoying that ALOT! :thumbright:

February 16th, eh? I guess Cupid's arrow really dug deep that time. Some Valentines Day gift!

We're just happy you're still with us, old buddy.

You know what? At the time, I didn't even REALIZE that it happened during Valentine's day. I didn't realize it till THIS Valentine's day.
My wife was sure I was gonna die. Her Dad died February 18th 1994, and my brother 6 days after on the 24th. So she figured of all the months for that to happen to me, It was gonna be my "check out" day.
But i FOOLED her! I'm still here! LOL!

Alan's open-heart surgery was performed on the 16th, but his heart attack no doubt started a day or two prior, as physicians try to exhaust all other possible treatment options before going to the extreme of something as dangerous as open-heart surgery.

Yup......i went into the hospital on the 13th (Friday the 13th, of all days) and had the heart catherization done. I did NOT expect to be staying in the hospital. I figured they might find maybe one small blockage, put a stent in, and i'd be home the next day.
Boy....was I wrong! 6 blockages. They wouldn't let me go home, and they couldn't operate. I had too much blood thinner in me, and would have bled to death. So they put me on nitroglycerin, and bed rest till Monday the 16th, when they opened me up.
So that's how I missed Valentine's day. I also was supposed to go to the auto show that Sunday, to see Adam West (Batman) the 1966 Batmobile, and George Barris, the guy who made the Batmobile. I was SOOOO bummed. I had been looking forward to that for months. I tried to talk the doc into letting me out, but he said I was in "VERY critical condition" and wouldn't let me out.
So it was a bad weekend for me all the way around. But hey, I'm still here. (Some might see that as a positive.......a few.....at least)

Way to go Cheesey. You fooled everybody including the nurses at Columbia Hospital. It's amazing what they can do today in medicine and repairing the human body. I'm living proof also. I'm not sure about your body though. I heard through the Columbia Hospital grapevine (Juan the janitor on the ICU floor) that when they went in all they found were old joke books, some Far Side cartoons, and a Karaoke machine primed and ready to go.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?
