Finally after 7 days in the hospital! Had the heart ablation procedure done that got rid of around 40,000 irregular heart beats in 24 hours to around 500 in 24 hours. My pulse at rest went from 32 a minute to around 65. I feel so much better now and breathe so much easier. They say this is something I have probably always had and is just now coming out as I am getting older, and more active at the new job. Anyways, I feel like a brand new man. Made in home in time for Thanksgiving to. Should be able to return to work next week in light duty.

I've never been in the hospital before, but dang the food sucks!


Anyways....glad to be back....breathing....still drooling and wanting some SDA's....:cheesygrin:

    Sorry to hear of your hospital stay. Glad you're still upright and enjoying life and our little speaker forum. I pray you have some good medical insurance. good luck with finding some SDA's if that's what you had in mind, locating some. I have some SDA 1 or A1 will have to look at the back and they're just gathering dust...and I may be letting loose of my large SDA-SRS's soon also. How far do you live from Spring Lake Michigan zip 49456.

    Again happy to see you out and about. MP

    Thanks for the well wishes everyone! While I feel 100% better...looks like my employer won't let me return to work until January 1st. I am not supposed to lift anything over 30 lbs for a month. Although I fell like an 18 year old again. lol I should know more about that the middle of next week. On the bright side...I've rediscovered my love for Rush and Iron Maiden while chilling at the house.

    Glad you're feeling better. I was going to give you my 2.3TLs but I needed help moving them. Since you can't lift anything, I guess I'll just keep them for now. Better luck next time.

    Gary, now you can get those other speakers built you wanted to using the LSi 15 woofers you have been slowly acquiring :biggrin:, or at least I think I sold a set of 2 to you at one point lol

    Just saw this. Glad everything went well and that you are back at home feeling 18 again. Listen to the doctors and take it easy until the new year. Work on the speakers, but don't try to lift them as I have a feeling they'll easily exceed the 30lb limit:razz:

    I will keep the prayers going for you. I am still feeling ridiculously good myself and am in hopes its the start of a good year as with a baby coming I need all my health savings account cash for those ridiculous number of checkup babies have along with all those darned shots :smile:
