1952 F-6 Build

[AZRodDave]

Keep the good vibes coming guys........ Can use them all.
Torchie.

You got it brothaman!

 

[Skip]

I'll keep a good thought.

 

[Torchie]

Thanks for all the good thoughts brothers....

I am good and feeling strong. The Dr remarked after our talk that none of what he told me seemed to surprise me. Which it didn't. I have always been one to face life's challenges head on and this one will be no different.

My biggest concern is the stress that my health issue's cause my family. But they are strong as well and we will get thru all of this.

I look forward to when I am able to post something about my actual build again and not all this *&%$$# that is going on now.[cl
Here's to that day........

All hat's off to you Torchie, and all the best with everything .....

Well there you have it...

After spending the last 3 days undergoing testing, all indicators are pointing at my heart being the cause of my current health issues.
I have a heart cath set up for early A.M. Monday to take a looksee and hopefully resolve what is going on.
Thanks to everyone here for your continued prayers, good thoughts and support.
Moving forward with out fear and looking forward to being able to get back to work on the project.
Keep you all posted.......
Torchie.

Had the heart cath and unfortunately the results were not good. Lots of blockage as well as serious damage to the arteries as well as the grafts from my first bypass.
No measures were taken yesterday. They looked and I left.
There is a very slight possibility of them using one of the arteries that they bypassed the last time to reopen the blood flow. But since this is not a typical approach my guy is in consultation with his colleagues to see what they would advise. What ever they do will be done thru a cath so no more being cracked open like a lobster for Torchie.[cl
Wife and daughters are handling the news well and as for myself I will continue forward with faith that tomorrow will be a better day than today.
Thanks again for all of your support.
Torchie.

Hey Torchie, the folks that float those caths in are pretty good. I'll bet they get a plan together.
