sdyI am a bit stunned. But very grateful that you are still with us.
and so many thanks to sjtill, your wife and the medical team that performed the procedure.

pillboxesghostVery glad you made it! Heck of a story.
I was almost a stubborn as you in procrastinating seeking medical treatment. Fortunately, my blockage was in a lesser artery.
Hope your recovery is swift.

Having spent a few weeks in the NSICU myself, it gave me a new perspective and appreciation for the world around me.

P220 SmudgeReally glad to hear that you acted in time and are feeling better, Para. I can relate to quite a bit of what you posted and some of it hit very close to home. Hope you keep feeling better and make the most of it.
Sjtill, maybe it’s not my place to say so, but thank you. Your CUT is beyond appropriate.
