I had a heart attack in 1999 and had a stent implant. I'm doing great now.
I was just wondering how many other members have had heart attacks, stents of bypasses?


See you on the road and travel safe.

Stent in Dec'02 to keep me alive enough to get a Quadruple bypass in Jan'03. Not my idea of a fun time, at all!

January 6th, 2004-----I had a aortic stent graft (three of them actually) in the form of a "Y" that put an inner-liner in my aorta (largest artery in body) and down both femoral arterys. I do have two area in heart arterys that have some blockage---not operable at this time---being doctored with meds. Still camp and love every minute of it. Hope they have RV Parks in heaven-----PJRACER

Had stroke 1993 spent 2 months recovering. Balance still not what it should be. Had heart attack 1997, wanted to do 6 bypasses but my diabetes destroyed areas so had to settle for just 4. 5/04 broke heal & still recovering. How's that go? "if it weren't for bad luck, would have no luck at all." MJB


I am 56 & numerous health probs, CAD, HTN, heart attack & stroke history, diabetes.
