Set Back

Well, after my last Heart Catherization I thought things were going OK, well, I ended up going over to the ER and the Doctor sent me back to St. Joe's in Syracuse.  I went by Ambulance in a Quick trip, got there and saw my old friend Dr. Caputo, he decided to go back in and check the heart pressures.
I was given more blood thinners, Hepburn and thought maybe they were going to cath me in the morning.   
I settled down and got my heart regulated and was resting when about 5PM in came the team and down I went for my Heart Cath !!
I was in the operating room form about an Hour!!!!
.
.
Well, I am now home, resting and have to go for Cardiac Rehab 3 days a week starting the 22nd!       Hoping things progress smoothly.     
.
Glad everything in Florida is calmed down and also Texas now if we can get the Fires under control !

Remember our Veterans, all Past and Present !!

Getting Back to Normal

Well, Hoping things get back to Normal, what ever normal will be,  this year was the "wettest" spring and summer on record with 29 inches of rain.  This is a picture of the heavy rains flowing out of the rocks on Humphrey Hill !
.


This has hurt the Apple Trees and also hurt the Corn Crops.    
.

We only have been out camping once and we spent a Month in Florida with My Honeys Mother.
.
I ended up with Heart Issues and Hospital stay and another stent.
.
.
I did get to join the Guys and we played at the Country Manor Nursing home for the residents which was a great time, The Nursing Home was just sold so don't know if the new owners will welcome us back next month ?

.

.
Fall is not to far off,  Geese are flying over heading SOUTH in large swarms and we saw a lot of them today !!.
.


.
The Leaves on the trees are turning the nice reds, yellow, orange and browns now.

.

.
We were in Florida at Lake Okeechobee for a Month this July and August, Now there is a Hurricane bearing down on them, IRMA is heading in,  this picture above is of a place on the Lake called Nubbins Slough, I am pointing to a rather large Gator, the water from here is released and goes to Port St. Lucie and the Ocean, when we were there the water was flowing INTO Lake Okeechobee which is not good, Lake Level right now as 13.63 feet and they are trying to lower it !!! 
.
. This is the Lock at Buck Head Ridge where we like to stay. Hopefully this will do all right as this is my fishing spot.

.
We are Praying for Anna Mae's Family in Florida and everyone else that they all are safe and sound with the upcoming storm !!
.

Don't Forget, Remember our Vets !!!

Surprise !! Another Stent

Wow have we been busy after getting back from Florida,  We got Anna Mae's Mother back on her feet from Heart Problems and on Monday August 21st I went for my checkup, Doctor said I was doing good and then on Wednesday August 27th I was rushed to our local hospital for chest pain and then transferred to St. Josephs Cardiac Unit in Syracuse, they found a blockage and opened it up and placed another "Stent" to get blood flowing.  Was in Hospital for 4 days now home walking and trying to regain my strength.  
.
.
The blockage was inside in the LAD, the first picture shows my heart while laying on the Table, I am awake and talking with the Doctor as they repair the blockage and where there was no blood flowing as it should.
.
.
This second picture shows where the Stent has been placed and shows Blood flowing thru the LAD as it is supposed to.  as of now I have 9 Stents in the Heart and 1 stent in my neck !
.
.
I am feeling better and am truly Blessed I am still going as there have been so many of my friends who have not made it this far!! 
Have not been able to drive, nor play the Guitar or Sing but soon as I am gaining !!!!!
.
Tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 2nd we celebrate our 28th Anniversary, we were married on a Saturday, Sept. 2nd in 1989 .
.
.
Happy Anniversary to the Love of my Life,    Anna Mae!!!!
