So sorry to hear of your heart attack. Hope you are on the mend and enjoyin
g cardio rehab (LOL). We sure need you in the Europa world!
With the changes in medical certification you will likely be back in the air
one way or another.

hey knocked me out and when I awoke, I was told they saved my life, where as
I informed them, I walked in here and told you what I was experiencing and
you never gave me a chance to get the right treatment. Now you=99ve p
ut a non approved stint into an artery that is a hereditary blockage and kil
led my business and flying career. Needless to say a bit of an adversarial c
limate ensued for a short while. I=99m not sure why? The blood thinne
rs gave me bleeding from both ends and that was a pain in the nose and arse.
Stopping the bleeding was in a word, BRUTAL.

n=99t over do it. To be expected, and I am not concerned because I am
very good at bureaucratic paperwork, the good boy, Anita is working on.

cks. I was too slow in preparing for my particular problem as my EKG and sc
ans were all fine in the past.
