Off topic, I cheated death again. Options

Friday night I took an unexpected ride in an ambulance. I was having severe chest pains and 3 nitro pills didn't help, so 911 was called.

A stent was installed on Tuesday and I feel much better. This is stent #3. Two in my heart and one in my carotid artery.I should be fully recovered in a week or two. Luckily, I did not have a heart attack. Only angina pains.

If you have any chest pains, I urge you to call 911 immediately. Time is truly of the essence. Don't be the tough, stubborn guy. Make the call. My brother and I are the oldest men in the Curtis family back 19 generations. My dad had a massive coronary failure at 56. Luckily for me, mom is 100 and comes from a long line of centenarians.

The left photo is the before shot. You can see the pinched off place in the artery compared to the after pic on the right. The differently shaded areas at the bottom left of each photo shows the increased blood in the chambers. The little circles you see are the wires holding the sternum together from my 20 year old bypass surgery. You can actually see the end of the wires twisted together. At 76, I doubt I could go thru open heart surgery again. The small pencil looking line is the catheter.
