Dear FMLers. Ok I spent a couple of days in the hospital here in Reno. I had chest pains and I waited until I thought they could be heart related (which meant I waited for about three days...) then I decided that yeah maybe they MIGHT be heart related and went to the ER. Now yes I did have a rather high BP but after some meds it went down to "normal". After an MRI and a very long doubled scan thing with radioactive isotopes and stuff the docs came to the conclusion that my heart was doing OK. In short my heart seems to be doing rather very good. Ok so no complaints on that. I may still have something wrong with my heart as the scans are about 85 to 95 percent effective but nothing major was seen. It may be GURD or maybe I pulled something in my chest that only shows up under heavy stress such as lifting. Ok so maybe that is what it is but anyhoo, I have some meds to take to see what happens. I have to change my diet a bit as well but I knew that was coming and I will have to say goodbye to that very rare but enjoyable cigar and pipe, but hey if it makes me live longer then I feel it is the thing to do. My frets well, now they wanted Mamma to get rid of me and marry someone with lots of money so he could spoil them in such a custom that they could really get used to but hey they are stuck with me the lil fuzzbrats..LOL. best to all Fred Hurd Reno Nevada.
