What do you guys think?

well, if the doc's don't kill me tomorrow, looks like I'll be pulling the trigger on a BB 4x4 CC by the end of the week...
 
Been busy for a couple of days. Just saw your rant thread and this one. Will hold search for your dream dodge till later.

Are they going in through your thigh and what's the downtime the docs expect till you are mobile again?

yeah, they go in in the morn.. and yeah, the leg/soluable plug gig...

downtime, I have no clue... could be a couple weeks, could be a couple months... the doc is well aware of the physical nature of my job, so I'm certain at least a new stress test after will be a minimum... he has me for a follow up visit of april 12.. i certainly hope he'll recheck me before than... dropped off the disability papers at the doc's office today, so hopefully I'll be getting some money in 3 weeks or so.. hopefully...

I probably wont be looking at the Dodges with getting this CC.. I'll run the BB for awhile, and maybe down the road do a Cummins swap... it's gonna come with no bed, so I'll probably be doing the tube bed fairly quickly...
 
I'll wait till I send the money thurs or fri, he's a member.. 454, 400, 205... 70/60
 
Anybody heard from Paul? Procedure was yesterday morning...should be home by now if everything went ok.
 
yeah, I'm alive... I posted in that rant thread... 1 new stent installed..

Good to hear...I used to work in the Cardiac OR when I was an anesthesia technician...It was not uncommon in those days for a cath to turn into a bypass if they broke something....
 
good thing that didn't happen, as this hospital isn't equipped for heart surgery... they said that's real rare any more...

They are...but Wow, I woulda thought they would still have an OR reserved still...
When they first started doing the "roto-rooter" thing around 1989 they would break through the artery about 8 times out of 10...I'm not kidding....8/10 of the time. They always had a heart room reserved just in case.
I didn't mention that earlier because I didn't think you would want to know...but it sounds like they have changed stuff a lot....if and when I have to have that done too though I will already have these images in my mind and I will probably not do it unless it is in a hospital with a heart room...
