Well, here we go again.... Today I had my follow up cartiologist apointment after the nuclear stress test I took a while back..... I got a little bit of a suprise when the Dr. gave me the news that the same area where he put 2 stents in a few years ago is clogged up again.... Yeah I got problems.... In the LAD artery.... You know... "The Widow Maker" as it is known in the medical world.... So I gotta make a trip to the hospital and get "catheterized".... that's when they put a small camera at the end of a wire & snake it up your artery in the groin into the heart. If they see a blockage they can handle then they slap a stent into it..... If it is real bad they abort the mission & schedule you for a bypass..... I really hope I don't need a bypass cuz that looks painful.... I'm kinda bummin' about this...... I mean for the most part I try to do the right stuff.... I eat mostly veges, I excersize...... Oh well..... It's kinda tough to keep a posative outlook when you get kicked in the nuts all the time........ I'm thinking about finding a less stressful job, cuz stress is a big killer to people like me.... Unfortunately a less stressful job will probly mean a $40,000 pay cut.... which means that i won't be able to pay the mortgage and the repo man will take the house, but I'll be alive....... or I could stay in sales and be dead in a few years...... but we'll have the house! I don't know....... I feel bad for stressing Maggie out...... And now we have the baby & I have to be healthy so I can be around to help take care of him and be his daddy.... And be Maggies Husband...... I'm stressing!!!!!!! I had to have a Clan McGregor when I got home......

Dude I'm so sorry that whole ordeal sucks! I hope all goes well with your appt!! I'm also praying for you guys to win some sort of offensively high mega billions lottery!
BAH! That really sucks (eloquent, eh?). Thank God you're a responsible patient/husband/papa and you continue to follow-up on your appointments, eat right and exercise, because I'm sure that, although it may not seem it right now, it 'does a body good' :)
STOP STRESSING DAMMIT!!!! Did that help??? Sorry, probably not. But seriously, none of us should be stressing about being here tomorrow, next month, ten years from now...because none of us know for sure and regardless that's no way to live. We've all just gotta do what we can to make sure that when we rest our heads at night we can sleep easy knowing that we did all that was in our control.
Sorry...I'll stop harpin' on 'ya...it's only because we love you's and want to see y'all happy ALL. THE. TIME.!
btw - I had to google 'Clan McGregor'...when I saw what it was my esophogus spasmed in fear :\
Good luck with your appointment, as always if there is ANYTHING we can do please call...
