wdu3164 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Glad to see your up and around Grubstake. Looks like you had a Dr that could cut a straight line or atleast follow a traced line. Your scar is way straighter than my fathers. Hope to hear your back in the fields soon.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdu3164 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 And you be careful. As I have written earlier my father went thru this in Feb this yr. He feels so good he's been working around his shop and fell from a ladder a couple of weeks ago, he said he never hit the ground (cought himself on a rung) but he did feel a pop in his chest that didnt have any pain with it. He went in for an echo (something) to find out if a one of the metal clips / wires had broken. I havnt heard the results should know tomorrow.So when you start feeling better go out and get all the exercise you can handle but Be Careful.

AuTSaurus Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Gary,Glad that you made it through another one, and that they were able to help you to this extent! Should make you better than the stents did, once you are healed.Just don't get to feeling so good that you pretend you are Tarzan, at least until your chest heals, LOL!Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 13, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hey Grubstake, Glad you're doing much better now. I think you're going to feel 150% better once you recover. I have talked with many that have had similar procedures and felt great a few months later. Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend. Can't wait until you're back out there chasing down those nuggets.

Grubstake1 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I just thought to myself, if I ever have another heart attack, like this one! I'm going to put my pistol in my mouth and end it right there! I am not going through this kind of pain again! Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey Grub, That's what my wife said after her first cesarean section. Thank God she didn't mean it or we wouldn't have a fine guy around like 'Oldies 1955'. Now I can't compare having a baby taken out through your abdomen to getting your chest ripped open by a chain saw, but the further away we get from the ordeal the rememberence of the pain and trauma lessens. Right now you are still in the rough part of it so remember there are some great days ahead for you and if it happens again hang in there and don't disappoint those great guys and gals that are hoping and praying for your recovery. You are much loved and we want you around for a long time. Old tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dorado Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Gary.. welcome to the chest zipper club! You are lucky about the super glue, they put staples on mine..... not just a pain, but 20 pains in the chest and about 40 in the right leg........ I hated them so friggin much, I took them out myself! Mrs El Dorado just about killed me for that one!Exercise to the max, work through the pain and you will get well soon enough........ The emotional roller coaster will subside also. Dr told me the heavy emotional stuff was from being technically dead on the OP table for 20 minutes or longer while they stopped my heart.

No rime or reason, Everyone goe's through it he said. Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hey Grub: Your horemones are probably all wacked out....I mean lets face it, there was some guy digging around in your chest playing with organs that were not meant to be played with! Besides, if you go and off yourself....who am I gonna learn from????Tom H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
