Dang VA no wifi at all.I got sent home for the holiday but gonna spend it resting and surfn i guess.Way too many nurses popping in to get blood and vitals all the time ,ive not slept more than 3.5 hours a nite since the morning of the 28th 5am drove myself to local hospital was there til 4pm with no food at all.Got rushed to VA stayed ER til 930 pm with no food or money had low blood sugar before they went find me a togo box with sandwhich and chips in it.I got to the room in cardiac ward and the girls remembered me and scrambled to find food some gave up their dinners for me.I was stuff needless to say by time i passed out.Well after 10 pints of blood over 9 day lol
they found excessive fluid around my heart and some plaques in 3 major arteries.Cant do any more stents so have to bypass them.If this dont work im gonna have heart transplantation doc says.All i know is gotta break my sternum to do it,and its been broken once in 1998 in the cavalier wreck.Gonna be hell for a month or so,not being able to do stuff myself like getn up out bed or out chairs on and off the crapper.Just letn yall know i almost had a heart attack today in neuclear radiation testing today.So much pressure in chest during the testing.I ought glow in the dark so many test and xrays.DON

Well i was at the VA today early as hell 7am . Found out nothing can be done,heart has way too much damage to do anything.
So gonna try make me stronger and eventually do a heart transplant if i live that long.Was talk of a pump but doubt that be viable either with all the damage.
THANKS GUYS FOR THE GET WELLS.DON
