As a buddy of mine from Arkansas used to say, "Get better every chance you get!!!!" 


....and keep those maintenance guys and gals at the hospital from drooling over your stash of  tools.  Hopefully you won't be doomed to wearing compression socks the rest of your life.....

Thinking about you, it's was a year ago that I was laid up. Enjoy the air conditioned room but get better soon.

Sorry to hear that you are laid up, Papaw.  I know that there is gourmet food in most hospitals, but get well soon so you can get out and get back to the bratwurst, beer and Dorito diet.

Been poked and prodded everywhere it seems. Looking for a cause of the sudden swelling and loss of breath. EKG shows no heart congestion, and no valve problems. Just finished an ultrasound on the legs looking for clots, and won't hear results till Monday.
Scheduled for a drug induced stress test on Monday also.
I lost about 20 pounds since entering the hospital. They've really getting a lot of fluid out.
Doc just stopped by to say that I'll probably go home after the stress test if all goes well. He might be a little optimistic.

I have a pretty descent coin collection and am told when
I'm gone she's gonna sell everything for 50 dollars.
That keeps me going, think about them tools someone
might get for next to nothing :-)

I am home finally. Can't say it was a total waste of time, we did get the swelling down and eliminated any serious heart conditions, just need the docs to study all the tests and figure it out.
Follow up in a few days, and check in with my Primary Physician Tuesday morning. If what this heart doc says stands I'll lose two drugs, so that is good.
