Good news and good news.

We'll I had some heart issues and had a cardiac cath on Thursday. My right coronary artery was very badly clogged. Doc did an angioplasty and had the clog fixed and a stent put in. The doc said I was one heart attack away from the big nap. The good news is I am up and feeling great so my lovely bride bought me a Seiko Presage white dial/blue hands that I have been in love with (both her and the watch). I gave the Seiko a nickname of "my heart watch". Life is good, hope to enjoy it for a long time!

My wife just left the hospital (cardiac wing) for congestive heart failure and deep leg thrombosis. SHe runs 5 miles a day, but the other day we went for a walk and she felt tightness around her chest. We go to the ER, and, well, she is back home and on Eliquis and something else.

So good luck to you, OP. Cause you never know when things can go south.

Wishing you all the best for your wife, positive thoughts your way.

Thank you all for the kind notes and support, it is greatly appreciated!!!
Here is a photo of my new "Heart Watch" I love the dial and it has a display back so I can see it's heart beat!
