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.

Yikes!
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.

Sorry to hear that, Bit.
Angina kicked my dad out of the Air Force.

Positive thoughts for you and your heart Dave.

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.

Sending more positive thoughts your way, Dave. Enjoy your granddaughter's visit!

I hope you DO NOT get that ER bill in the future.
 
Now, time to an updated Weird Al version of My Sharona.
 
My Angina.

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.
