No, I suffered another heart attack Halloween night between the hospital and being placed in a cardiac step-down unit, I didn't return home until November 19th. That is when I saw posting done while I was gone.

I am so sorry, I was just trying to make light of what I thought was a humorous situation. I am very glad you are feeling better. No offense intended, unless you dislike sad puns.

No offense taken! Actually, due to the circumstances, I thought your post rather humorous! I need a good laugh here and there to keep the spirits up.

Don't laugh too hard, or you'll put yourself right back into the hospital.

Ozzy, glad to see you back! Stop having heart attacks, okay?

I agree, they are a real pain (literally)! I was at the cardiologist's office yesterday and I got the official report about my condition -- CHF diastolic failure (Congestive Heart Failure). The heart is not taking in enough blood into the chambers due to several factors.

So far, the heart is still strong enough to pump so it is not Systolic heart failure (heart transplant candidate). But what sucks is if the medications cannot keep things under control, I will be relegated to instructor and evaluator - on field work will be out of the question.
