Wish Barry the best! BUT this should be a reminder for all of us! I SPEEK personally! I JUST had triple by pass myself(3 months ago). I'm 5' 11" and weigh 170 lbs. I'm as active as anyone here. Sad truth is it's not ALL ABOUGHT BEING OBESE or over weight! A lot of it is heredity. There's a reason the doctor asks about your family history! IF your brother, sister, mom or dad has a history of heart disease YOU ARE AT A HIGH RISK! His brother had a heart attack one year ago! It's a lot like patterning a big buck or scrapes or rubs. IT"S GOING TO follow THE LINE! pay attention.

UB...

Get well soon.... we have to get Big and go bear hunting again soon!

Plus, I'm making you a new knife.  You need to be here to get it.
Besides that, I had a talk with some of the guys, and we liked you best of the whole group in camp!

Ha! It's funny...I was just telling someone about that late night phone call about the guy who ...well, you know what I'm talking about...the last thing about the guy's thing!!!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers. I learned quite a bit from this ordeal which I won't go into right now. I walked over 5 miles (measured)on 4/1 and another five on 4/2. 4AM on 4/3 I had a "heavy feeling" in my upper chest but no pain in chest. Went to ER. x-rays and EKG came back negative. Blood tests showed diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Was transported to Mercy Hosp. in Des Moines via ambulance. Angiograms showed blockages of 100%, 85% and 75%, etc. which was surprising since tests in Boston 3 years ago showed zero blockages. Anyhow, I got a triple bypass 4/6. Two days in ICU and was sent home 4/11. No sweat... well maybe just a little sweat. Again, many thanks for your "heartfelt" (no pun intended) prayers and support. BW

Barry, thanks for the information on your diagnostic ordeal. Good stuff to know for us old guys.

I'm glad your home and doin OK. You should probably wait a few days before you start hanging treestands..    :rolleyes:

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Barry.

I think a lot of us never realize something abnormal is going on until the last minute.

Seventeen years ago, right after retirement, we visited my older son in CO. My son and I spent 3-4 hours hiking vigorously at 9000 feet and all was good. A few weeks later I was walking leisurely around our lake back in MI and found myself out of breath every 50 steps or so. I've never been much of a runner, but I could walk all day. Went to the doctor and he said he thought I had nasal congestion, but sent me to a cardiologist "just in case". That was on a Friday and the cardiologist said he would see me Tuesday morning in surgery. 90% blockage of one of the coronary arteries. Stent installed and been fine ever since. I never had a clue.

Thanks for calling me for the necessary cancellation of you last Boot Camp.

I'm really glad to hear your recovery is going well.

We can always share deer knowledge, the most important thing is to get you back to "better than" normal.

Best Regards
