For those who’ve been praying, I can’t thank you enough, honestly it means a lot!

I’ll try my best to let you know how this all began…

• Saturday – Having minor chest pains on the left side of my chest all day long.
• Saturday Evening, around 7:30/8:00pm decided to have it checked out, so we headed to Pakview Hospital in Fort Wayne.
• No evidence of a heart attack, Dr. ordered a CT Chest scan. Was admitted to the Heart Institute. As the Cardiologist said, with two previous heart attacks, “we need to find out what’s going on in there”, so the beginning of a basket load of tests and procedures, to determine the cause.
• Sunday morning the cardiologist said that he had ordered a Cardiac catheterization for Monday, and just rest on Sunday.
• Surprise! At least four different blood draws, a heart ultra sound, another EKG, ultra sound of my gallbladder, which showed a large gallstone, and a couple of different meds to take.
• Monday, sit, lay, pace, and wait for the Cardiac catheterization, finally around 10am the cath team shows up to take me to the cath lab. Dang cold in that room, especially since you’re buck naked, except for a couple of thin blankets.
• Results of Catheterization – all four of my by-passes were in great shape. But, always love that “BUT” My heart has become mushy, and lost shom more strength.
• Ejection Fraction, is what it’s called, my heart is not strong enough to pump out the blood. Haven’t talked to the Dr. yet, in the morning, from what I’ve been told they believe it can be taken care of with medicine.
