Angina
Angina. It's such an innocuous-sounding word. Sounds a little like "vagina". Those of you who've experienced both can testify they're at opposite ends of the pleasure spectrum.
Morphine. Another word with a lot of baggage. But it is truly Mother Nature's gift to mankind. So thankful it exists.
The good news is they couldn't find anything wrong with my heart this time. The doctor told me my overnight stay at the hospital was just "an expensive nap". The real heart attack will probably accompany the ER bill. As if I wasn't broke enough already. Fortunately, the exercise machine is paid for, so I'll be back on it every day.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

The one thing I tell the young guys is stay fit.
Take care of yourself Dave.

Yikes! There are FAR better hotels for you to stay in if you just want to sleep away from home Dave!
Glad it doesn't appear to be TOO serious. Stay well!

Heart issues are scary things. Just had lunch with an old friend and former boss man, about 2 weeks ago. He's been having heart related issues..... has had a few stents and they mostly didn't work for long.... now, he has to go back to have some more tests done... Keeping his fingers crossed. He can't do much in the way of manual labor.... walking more than a short distance tires him easily.... sweeping his shop out that morning tired him.... yeah, heart issues are not cool.

Positive thoughts are why I come here. Thank you all for continuing to provide them as you have for many years. Not enough positive thoughts have been coming down the pike lately. I've been called Gestapo for volunteering to be a forum host. I can easily laugh that off, but it's a little troubling that negativity has crept into even my last happy place. And now they're autotuning Aretha Franklin. {Insert George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on television here}.
My 10-year-old granddaughter will be visiting me today. Everything will be fine then. Happy thoughts.

All my best for you, I've been on death's doorstep a number of times (ER 3X) in the past two years, and it's a strengthening experience, Dave. My wife worked (research) in Cardiology here at UW-Madison for many years and the work they do and how far they've come is absolutely amazing! You'll always be in good hands with Cardiology. My heart decided to start stopping (I'm in excellent shape) over the summer and the good news when I broke my hip, is that it stopped in ER, so the docs figured out what was wrong. My stay in the Cardiology ward was also a vacation but those guys (and gals) are amazing people :) You are in my prayers now that I am aware. It's been a down time but I just wrote my first song in over two years (as opposed to weekly) and I am soaring on heaven's clouds. We're still doing what we are meant to do, that will never stop! I'm deeply indebted for the work you do here in the forums.

Dave,
Should the docs tell you that you need to change your dietary habits, don't hesitate to ask for advice. I've been eating a 99% vegan diet for several years, I love to cook (and don't suck at it, it I may be immodest), and I know all the good cookbooks that would get you started on the right foot (by that I mean, you'd actually enjoy your meals in addition to not having the food content end up sticking to the insides of your arteries).
Best wishes.

Oh yeee.... One might think a forum like this (yo man, makin' hot music with computers) is a place where teenagers roam :o/ It's not easily connected to angina, heart arrests and rheumatism.
Health, creativity and optimism to everyone!

Prayers-a-risin' brother D! Years with Afib & flutter and two ablations, I know the anxiety and general suckiness of health issues.
Thank God for grandkids - enjoy every bit of it Bit! Few things bring more joy (or wear you out) like those blessed babies. Kind of the old man's Red Bull. Okay, I'm only 54 years young but have 4 of them and wouldn't trade them for the world!

You're in my prayers, Bit. It's probably not said said very often, but you bring a fresh supply of sanity into this little nuthouse whenever you visit. Your viewpoints are always appreciated. Hope you feel better soon and that you have a great time hanging out with your granddaughter. 10 is a fun age. (Well, they all are.)

Thanks again. Almost all of you are truly fine people I'm glad to know, and who would be welcome guests at my funeral. So if I ever pull a ba_midi and just disappear, it's not because you were left off the mailing list.
Not that I'm planning an exit any time soon! But aside from death row inmates, nobody knows when their last day on earth will be. All you can do is live each day as if it was. I know Billy did. I'll be drinking a toast (of green tea) to Billy again next July.

Be well Flipper.
I've been reading and starting some different eating habits. The first book that really got my attention is one called Grain Brain by Dr. David Perlmutter. It deals not only with neurology and food, gluten in particular, but also cardio and all kinds of inflammations. It is a VERY interesting read. I recommend it.
Please be well.

Fortunately, the exercise machine is paid for, so I'll be back on it every day.
better make sure that the exercise machine is not the THING causing the angina. what they call 'stable angina'. i assume you have a heart doc, and they've screen you for blockages and done stress tests, etc etc

Yeh, I did a stress test. But first, they tried 7 times before getting an IV installed, gave me morphine to offset the wounds they'd inflicted. Then they kept me awake all night, drawing blood every hour or so. All the while I was not allowed anything to eat until after the stress test. That didn't happen until 2:00 PM, by which time I'd been a whole day without eating, and no sleep. I was hungry, my blood sugar was at 70 and the morphine had worn off.
Just the condition you want to be in when you step onto a treadmill. They cranked that machine up until I wasn't walking anymore, but running. After 20 minutes I still hadn't raised by heart rate high enough for the test. 133 BPM was the target, 120 BPM was all I could manage. Is it just a coincidence that's also the default tempo when you open a new SONAR project?
