Hey Jon,
BRRRR it's cold today. Y'all must be sending us a winter present. It was 55 when I got up today and the high today is only supposed to be 67! Freezing cold cold cold wowow!
The doctors are a full of crap and in it for the big money. I went in to get the pain in my right leg checked. When I walked I got what seemed to be a muscle spasm in my lower right calf. So I went and had it checked. The asshole that I saw originally, ..........you know that new commercial on tv on puerto rico where they snap their fingers and say "Puerto Rico"! ? In retrospect that's what that guy reminds me of cept instead of saying puerto rico, I could see him saying "Fem-Pop" while snapping his fingers over and over again. Well, a femoral popliteal is not a snap. Not to me anyway. He also said "he doesn't do those any more, he only works on "veins". He referred me to the cardio thoracic surgeon who ultimately did my ( and
screwed it up ) bypass surgery.
Anyway, he ( the surgeon ) then referred me to the cardiologist who did the heart cath. Young guy, smart obviously and I think he has some integrity left.......
The surgeon on the other hand , well, at one point this jerk off not only did the open heart on me, but wanted to have me check into the hospital and get a bypass ( Fem-Pop ) in my right leg, a stent in my left leg ( a blockage that did not exist prior to meeting this "fellow" ), AND a right carotid endartectomy ( sp ? ) all in the same sitting. ! Even the cardiologist asked " He said that? " when I told him about it and that, these things could not be done like that, nor did I need them done! Now that was after he also scared the crap out of us by showing me a dot in my right lung and having me go for a PET scan while describing what doing a biopsy would be like and an upper lobectomy if necessary. Yes, all at the
same time. Thank G-d I showed him that multi million dollar health insurance card ahead of time huh? Otherwise he might have said I was fine and to change my diet a bit haha.
Scuse my New Jersey Bluntness ( I'm not originally from Fla ya know? ) but this surgeon could use a good ass beating and/or lawsuit. Since I'm just a mild mannered coin dealer I called a big law firm who had me fill out papers and such and got back to me with "you have a good case". Only trouble is, that just like getting involved with these doctors, you have to make a commitment when getting into these types of lawsuits. They want to do another heart cath and you better march over there and get it done. Want you to go thru a barrage of new tests? Yup, you need to go. Etc etc etc.
The end result is we were told there's an issue ( buzzword of the new millenium? ) when my heart is placed under stress. Even as a layman I can see the
differences in the pics from the nuclear part of the stress test. I'll take his word for it that the "abnormal flow" is in the same area as the bypass. Meanwhile I FEEL fine. I asked him if he thought it was a blockage and he said in his opinion, No. He thinks the mammary is kinked a little or was a little on the small side. He also sid we can do another heart cath and maybe "pop it open with a balloon" if it's kinked. OR, treat it with medicine LOL. "Treat" it with medicine?
The cardiologist I think is the best of the worst that I've had the experience with. As Monty Hall would say in lets make a deal, there's more, so much more but I think y'all get the point.
I asked him if he thought I was in imminent danger of a heart attack or something like that and he said NO. He also said " I wouldn't recommend breaking down a rock pile" but by all means, excercise, walk, etc etc etc and that was that.
Meanwhile, while I can only walk a few miles at roughly 2 1/2 MPH, I can walk a few miles at 2 1/2 MPH! I RAN on the treadmill last week before catching a flight to Raleigh NC. RAN. Had the treadmill on number 8 and was RUNNING. Not far but was running.
No medication cept what I told you. Chelation every 2 weeks at Dr Coys place ( see below ). I have good days, better days, and not as good days. Such is life. Meanwhile the vampires are kept at bay .
I hope you are able to break free as well.

Tom,
I have to agree with you about doctors. We are conditioned thru out
life to listen to them unconditionally. Ask them a question and
they quickly become defensive. It's not until they give you so much
conflicting 'advice' and/or your health deteriorates under their
care do you start to question them.
If you follow your current regiment of Chelation, exercise, diet and
supplements your blood and vessels should be pristene. Isn't the
stem cell stuff they are doing to repair heart muscle. I might see
you in Thailand. They tell me that mine was pretty damaged. When I
came out of bypass surgery the surgeon told my family that there was
evidence of a heart attack prior to the one that hospitalized me in
May.
Of course the western medical view is that heart damage can not be
repaired. I am hoping to prove them wrong. I don't expect a
perfect heart but some major improvement would be prayers answered.
As far as the weather is concerned.....what size coat do you wear.
I'll send you a coat down there ASAP. At 57 degrees we wouldn't want
you to suffer frost bite.
