Update

As you know, my stress test resulted in finding a problem with blood flow in my heart.  I had a Heart Cath last week that showed a 90% block in the return portion of my heart.  Last Friday I had a stent put in and I am back home and feeling great.   I actually can climb the stairs without huffing and puffing as I did before. 

I attributed being out of breath as just being fat and over 50,     I am so happy that the tests that I had to take for this surgery resulted in this finding.  I was a heart attack waiting to happen.  

The Heart Doctor says that he will clear me for the surgery if all is well in 4 to six weeks.   I am still going to have the surgery.   I know now more than ever that it is necessary to get my health back.  

Thank all of you for your support and friendship.  I really mean it.
