Prayers gladly sent. I lost a brother to a heart attack when he was only 46, so I know these things happen.

Hats off your coworker for getting it looked at and for taking the doctor's advice.

I am happy for your friend.

I hate doctors. Heeee heeee heeee. It seems anymore they are always finding "something" when I visit.

My stress test is everyday going to work. I have had all of my typical "over-fifty" tests, and I'm on treatments for blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and chronic heartburn. I've had an EKG (all fine), but no formal stress test.

I'm wearing myself out pretty good. Not bragging, but I still live like a teenager.

I hate getting old. As I've said before, I am a young, good looking, skinny guy that is trapped in a old fat body. Heeeeeee heeeeeeee hee.

Doctor's blow....but then again waking up dead isn't very appealing either....go to the Doc, he needs another payment on his Benz and we need all our crew members alive and well.

i am over doctors. they i am beginning to think they really dont know whats going on. yes you can find some good one nowadays. mine i like but his office isnt really equiped to do anything but your normal check up. so if anything goes wrong. he sends you to another doc. which means another copay. look at my lower back issue for 5yrs 2 surgeries and out thousands of dollars. i am no better now than i was 5 yrs ago. actually maybe worse.
ok rant over
