But it so glad that you listened to your body. My husband didn't and he had to have a heart attack before he would go in, he had surgery also, but he has major heart damange also.<BR/><BR/>The dr told him that smoking from the age of 12 didn't help him one bit, he had quit when Ana was born. But the damage was done.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad you are recovering so quickly, it is along haul, took Tom about two months before he was not doing breathing exercises, but they can do miracles for the heart. Surgeons seem to have that surgery down pretty darn good don't they. Tom has congestive heart failure on top of what else he had, but he takes medication for that.<BR/><BR/>I am amazed that you were able to do as much as you could with that much blockage.......so glad that you got in when you did. Bless you.....keep getting better.....hugs.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23827807.post-69181421183502544622007-11-30T21:52:00.000-05:002007-11-30T21:52:00.000-05:00I'm just glad you're doing ok-- and that you did q...I'm just glad you're doing ok-- and that you did quit smoking, that will definitely help things! *hugs*Barehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807138448869384996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23827807.post-44159184983927782262007-11-24T17:00:00.000-05:002007-11-24T17:00:00.000-05:00(((catch)))) how you doing ya old codger? and what...(((catch)))) how you doing ya old codger? and what happened to your dear sweet mum whilst you have been and is poorly?<BR/><BR/>See how I bloody worry about ya all :)<BR/><BR/>xMarmiteToastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536695634856882487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23827807.post-56961950169345954542007-11-24T06:43:00.000-05:002007-11-24T06:43:00.000-05:00I hope you are getting the love and care you give ...I hope you are getting the love and care you give and show to your clients catch!
