Glad you got a good report Eric and the Dr is letting you out of jail. Drs. are never happy. Once they fix one thing they start on something else. If they had their way our diet would consist of lettuce and water and all our spare time would be spent walking!

Yeah, he said "If I put anything in my mouth and it tastes good to spit it out cause it's no good and will kill me".


Thanks guys, I'm just glad to be able to get back on the projects.

Man I'm glad you went in to the ER and everything is ok . I think I may be heading for a bad situation soon myself . I have a heart murmur that is getting pretty messed up in the last few years . My doctor says I will need a heart valve replacement soon from a pig ..... I don't think so tim .

Yes, you see, if you put the pig into your body through your mouth, it'll kill you, but if someone else puts it in through a hole in your chest, it'll save your life.

Helluv'an animal.

Best of Luck Eric. Our Bodies sometimes have a way of gently telling us that something is not exactly Right ,so we need to "Train Ourselves to Listen Carefully",To their warnings,as well as those of our Wives, Loved Ones, And Doctors. Take It Carefully for The Next Few Weeks. Our Prayers and Thoughts Are With You. Larry

Glad to hear you're doing well.... the blood sugar thing has become a chronic problem with us old duffers, and physical condition sometimes makes no difference. I'm 6'4 and 212 lbs., a gym rat and diagnosed 6 years ago with type 2

Watch your carb intake (not the one on top of the motor, lol) that'll help

Glad everything worked out. I had quintuple (yes, five) bypass surgery four years ago and coupled with my Afib, I've had to completely change my lifestyle. Dropped 50 lbs, work out three or more times a week, and completely changed my diet. My weight hasn't been this low since high school. I feel great. Fortunately, my cardiologist found the blockages before there was a heart attack (I had no symptoms and had just walked all of Fall Carlisle and Hershey swap meets with no pains or shortness of breath).

Of course, within a month of getting out of the hospital, I was installing a new timing chain in my 84 Custom Cruiser.

My one message to anyone is don't delay in getting checked. It was a long overdue stress test that found the blockages and saved my life.

That's just not kosher Eric. I agree with oldsguybry.

Well spent today out on my friends Model A doing the interior. Didn't over do it and felt good working on the cars again.

Well Joe... suddenly I feel much better.
