Grid,

Just got in , went out with S25 tonight. Rehab was OK, did about 10mls on bicycle and another 2 on treadmill. I'm the youngest one there by about 10 or 15yrs, lol. I get there early to get extra time in. Get to go back to work 1/15. They are sending me downtown, I've been an out route guy all my career, I took care of the west side of town. Now I'll be stuck in three buildings.

My heart problems started one morning I woke up at 4AM, heart pounding and chest hurt a little, took a few breaths and it went away. I thought I woke up from a bad dream. I refereed a soccer game that night without a problem. Woke up 4:30 next morning with the same thing only it didn't go away and I noticed my left arm felt weak. Had S25 take me to hospital. EKG showed normal, blood taken and cardiac enzymes showed no heart attack. Scheduled me for stress test, last 30 seconds of stress test I had some chest pain. That was a Friday, they held me in the hospital and did surgery Monday. Doctor said chest pain was from angina. After surgery doc told me no damage was done to the heart, no heart attack. They went in to do 2 bypasses, ended up doing 4. Worst blockage was 70 to 75%, another 60% two others were 50%. said if I put it off I would have probably ended up with a heart attack and damage to the heart. I had a physical a month before I had the problem everything was fine. Blood sugar 93, cholesterol was 3.5, blood pressure ok, no signs of any problem. Doc said 60% of all heart attacks happen between 4 and 6AM.
