Howdy Folks,
Been a little busy of late, sorry for not posting or replying. On to the story.
Last Monday, my VA heart doctor said a cardio CT Scan from a week earlier
had come back and things weren't looking good. A cardio cath was scheduled for
last Thursday with instruction not to wait if I had chest pains (even little ones) go
immediately to the emergency room in Jacksonville if possible to be admitted and
watched until my scheduled hearth cath on Thursday. 6pm last Wednesday I was on
the way to the emergency room, 1pm Thursday I was on the table in the cardio
cath lab (acting goofing from the meds), Friday morning the news.
You have three arteries feeding the heart muscle, my right was 100% blocked
at the stint location, but had grown numerous small bypass arteries, so it was
working at about 70% (good considering), middle one 30% blocked (ok for now)
and the left one was 100% open an going strong no plaque noted.
My doctors say low carb and low fat(we know there wrong here) may have just
saved my life. Am I going to stay with the FTS Lifestyle you betcha, I was FTS'ing
about a year before I found Doug, UMPA and FTS and I really believe it saved my
life. Now I'm still losing weight and know what I have to do (Stay a FTS'er for life)
Thanks Doug, you helped me dodge a big one for sure.
Our Very Best to You and Yours,
Buford and the Girls(The Cold Nose Gang)
