In late October I had a bad chest cold that just kept hanging on. Finally, around the middle of December I went to my family doc complaining of a lack of stamina and shortness of breath A few minutes with his stethoscope, and he exclaimed the problem wasn't my lungs as I thought. I had an irregular heartbeat. The following week started with an EKG, followed by a nuclear treadmill stress test, and then the coronary catheterization. Long story short, I had 3 major coronary arteries that were more than 90% occluded. The good news was there was no heart muscle damage, and I had had no heart attacks. I went into the hospital here in Anchorage on Dec 21, had 3 artery bypass surgery on Dec 23, and home on Dec 29.
Doc estimates a return to work in 6 weeks. I think it is going to be sooner since I can set my own schedule and work a couple hours a day initially.
