On behalf of myself and all of the other 50-percenters out there: Thanks for sticking around!

A scare for the Trampster...
- Thread starter Tramp Steamer
- Start date
12310, my friend, at your wake there will be friends filling the hall, spilling out onto the sidewalk, and stretching clear around the block.
Really glad that your episode was caught quickly. Your posts leave me chuckling many times so I look forward to many more postings. Enjoy today and all that follows.
Believe me, blah blah. No one thought that was a bad Haiku. Here is an example of a bad Haiku:
"Glad that you are well
Your reward for past brave acts
Have you a mustache ?"
That's a decent haiku, it at least follows the proper format. Here's another:
I like to play pool
But I am not very good
So I fight people
Edited to add: Tramp, I'm glad you're ok...maybe now you'll stop letting CTE arguments get to you so much?

Night before last I was sitting in front of the TV when out of the blue I had a chest pain, and a pretty darn good one to. I took a couple of slivers of nitro, but it didn't do much, so becoming a bit worried I called 911. The Fire rescue truck was at my door in less than two minutes, and the ambulance crew was there in about five. They put me on O2 and off we went to the hospital.
The chest pain had mostly subsided by the time we arrived at the ER, so after an EKG and blood work-up, the ER room Doctor had me admitted. The next morning a cardiologist scheduled a cath lab for me and off I went.
The Doctor who was doing the angiogram found a 90% blockage in a left circumflex vessel and opened it up with a medicated stent. The procedure was successful and I was removed to the ICOU. I spent the next six hours quietly laying on my back, not moving my right leg, in order for the insertion site in the femoral artery to clot over. That seemed to be the worst part of the entire experience.
I was discharged this morning and came home, where I promptly died. Just kidding.
The prognosis is I'm good to go for a few more years, and I just thought you might like to know.
Very fortunate they were able to do the angioplasty on you. I had taken in my mother for the same thing and they were going to perform an angioplasty - but the interventional cardiologist said she needed triple bypass open heart - major league stuff - she never really fully recovered from it.
I'm don't know if you have been living a healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise once you've fully recovered, but I'm sure your body would welcome it now.

I actually do live a (reasonably) healthy life style. I quit drinking 6 years ago. I quit smoking 21 years ago. I quit having sex just out of high school.
My only vices are Chinese Buffets, and Pizza.
P.S. I know there's been a thread on this, but I am an antagonist regarding second-hand smoke. Especially the kind found in poolhalls.
Hey Trampster,
Glad you are getting better. Just wondering. Did you ever think that may have been God telling you to knock off the bad mouthing of CTE or he might knock you off with CTE - CARDIAC TRAMPSTER EXIT?
Just food for thought.

The only "good" chest pain I know of is when you've got a kinky woman sittin' on it whilst engagin' in some shenanigans
. At your age, maybe it's time to scale back a little on the karma sutra (or whatever the hell they used to call it)!!!Glad you're doing okay, my friend!!!

Glad your still with us even if you are just haunting us, I hope you get your strength back soon.

My late spouse was an RN and a militant anti smoker years ago.
She had a sign on her desk that said "If you must smoke, please don't exhale".
Get well
Glad you're on the mend. Did the doctor make you take it easy for a while, so as not to get too excited?
"No sex, and straight pool only for two weeks!"
