Guys,
Thanks for the support.  Hope to see as many as can make it to Sun =91n Fun
.  Let=92s not clog up the list with this personal stuff.

Looking forward has always been difficult for me as there are no crystal ba
lls, but leaders anticipate what the future holds, stick to their dreams, b
ut deal with the realities and minimize their affect on the ultimate goal. 
 Those who can=92t, loose sight of their goal, react to adversity by changi
ng their goals, fail to deal with reality and retreat to what they believe 
is safety.  That=92s defeatism.

My strength is good, spirits high, and vision clear, I will continue to fly
, enjoy camaraderie with my fellow pilots and keep tinkering on airplanes f
or the foreseeable future.  I know one thing, stay out of hospitals, they a
re full of sick people, and it=92s contagious.

Thanks, and get on with building, upgrading and flying and enjoying life.

Bud Yerly

Hey Bud,
   Sorry to hear about your troubles but I'm very happy it's all good now. 
Maybe they really did save your life even if it was not an FAA certified pa
rt. I have had pretty good luck with non-certified parts!
All the best,

To all,
I have had a heart attack finally.  I always told everyone I was scheduled 
to die by 75 and I have beat the odds.  I walked into the ER at our local h
ospital, explained the situation and told them I was a pilot and not just a
ny stint would do and that a artery blockage runs=85.. At that point, they 
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 y
ou never gave me a chance to get the right treatment.  Now you=92ve put a n
on approved stint into an artery that is a hereditary blockage and killed m
y business and flying career.  Needless to say a bit of an adversarial clim
ate ensued for a short while. I=92m not sure why?  The blood thinners gave 
me bleeding from both ends and that was a pain in the nose and arse.  Stopp
ing the bleeding was in a word, BRUTAL.

Of Course AME extraordinaire Dr. Ira Rampil, researched my case and assured
 me that provided I take drugs for the rest of my life to compensate for th
e type stint installed, I will be able to get back on flying status in six 
months or so provided we supply a ton of paperwork and I am a good boy and 
don=92t over do it.  To be expected, and I am not concerned because I am ve
ry good at bureaucratic paperwork, the good boy, Anita is working on.

I am fine now, with no heart damage, as strong as ever, bored to tears, wel
l behind and now that I am away from the blunt force trauma doctors of a no
rmal hospital, am seeing specialists and couldn=92t be happier with my trea
tment to work around my now minor issues.  Keep in mind, they only practice
 medicine in hospitals, take some advice and get some specialists lined up 
with your normal physical especially if you are concerned about heart attac
ks.  I was too slow in preparing for my particular problem as my EKG and sc
ans were all fine in the past.

Anita and I am still planning on Sun =91n Fun from April 4-9 on site N-55 a
s last year featuring Airmaster Propellers.  The Europa Club will be well r
epresented by Steve Pitt and Paul Mansfield.  We all will enjoy seeing thos
e of you who can make it down for some Fun in the Sun.

Best Regards,
Bud Yerly
