SorryI have not beeen on lately
« on: September 12, 2014, 08:23:20 PM »
On Sunday August 31, 2014 my wife and I were visiting in Denver, when I started getting pains in my chest and left arm. Went to The University of Colorado hospital emergency room and have spent the last 13 days recovering in the hospital from By-Pass Surgery.  I had three arteries totally blocked.  I just got back home this afternoon around 2:00PM.  While recovering from the operation, I also came down with Gout in my right knee. I will be down for the next 4 to 6 weeks recovering.  My Son Dan has been taking care of the greenhouse.   - Millet

Did not know you had to go for heart surgery. Wish you a good and fast recovery.

Take care and get well fast.
My dad has gout, exercise when you can, eat better and find the correct amount of meds to take that doesn't mess with other functions.

 Millet, are you taking Niacin?  It can cause gout.

Jeez dude. I didn't think you were that old and all your yard work should be keeping you in great shape. Oh well just shows that no one is safe. Get well, hope you get to feeling better.

Hope you are feeling much better Bob!!!

Fortunately, medical advances for heart issues have improved drastically!!! My grandpa, uncle and cousin are all cardiologist and my father is a professional patient: he has had a quadruple bypass surgery and 2 stints. He also gets occasional gout but completely controls it with a good diet. He actually feels way better than before the surgery, is very active and doing great!! No doubt you will make a complete recovery!

You are in my prayers.

Get well soon, the gout is probably worse, "pain wise not medically " hope everything is recovering normally and no more issues.

Tom thanks for your concern,. I am getting much better, but I recently came down with a cold.  The coughing caused by the cold does not help, but a pillow helps greatly.  I should be fine soon.. Regards - Millet
