Good to hear you're doing well, Cor! :dance:

[K7SGJ]

That's good news, Cor. Take it easy for awhile, and don't over do. In fact, maybe you should bring a sweet young nurse home with you to spin the dials on your radios.

[N8XE]

Excellent Cor!! Glad things went well for you.

Excellent news Cor!

[K4WGE]

My cardiologist had me walking 2 miles a day immediately.

[NQ6U]

Good news, Cor. Take care of yourself.

[NM5TF]

[KC2UGV]

Glad to hear it went smoothly :)

[KK4AMI]

Glad to hear you are back in one piece. Stay Healthy!

"My cardiologist had me walking 2 miles a day immediately."
Yep, a stent is no big deal. I was in and out the same day with only a little patch over the place where it went in through a vein. Just don't transmit on a frequency where it's resonant, stents usually are made of metal mesh. (:-O)

[w6tmi]

Welcome back to living land.. Please stay here. ;)

No shit. We've had enough Islanders go SK on us already.

[PA5COR]

Not planning an unexpected exit here .
Just went for a smoke and merrily typing away on the small phone screen.
Wi fi and telly are free of charge.
One of the 2stents in place the other vein too bad to do but that was a small vein and already the body grows a
New vein network to there.
So, other as dicking around on the phone nothing to do as waiting till tomorrow morning to have me get
Kicked out
Thanks for the good wishes, appreciated
No fing radio here to play with.....

[N2NH]

Great to hear Cor. Glad to see the hospital stay is short. They always feel much longer than they are.

[K7SGJ]

My cardiologist had me walking 2 miles a day immediately.

And did you notice the ATM is usually about a mile away (two mile round trip)? They want their dough wiki wiki.

[KG4CGC]

Glad to hear it, Cor. When is your Kilimanjaro expedition?

[WØTKX]

Glad it's worked out. Heal up, get strong.

[W7XF]

Happy to know you're going to be around to annoy us for the forseeable future, Cor!!

[PA5COR]

Just back home, with the trusted FT 2000 - D on, what a comfort...
Additional medicines, so my early breakfast starts to become an interesting mix of chemicals for all sorts of things....
No planned climb of the Kilimanjaro though, but another business fair to organize in 3 weeks, so I better get going and up on my feet pronto.

Whole procedure was 50 minutes/one hour and without much problems or discomfort.
The Vampirs took another few vials of blood which came back perfect, so I released myself at 08.00 from hospital after all things were sorted.
No money flowed here, all paid for by my healthcare insurance, though my max own risc of 360 euro's for the year I have to pay on top of the 100 euro healthinsurance monthly will be used up.
So think about it, 12 x 100 and one time 360 paid for a whole bunch of expensive medicines, several radiological checkup.s heart catherizing, the stent operation, one day hospital, several times a check up from my own hospital physician, care from my housedoctor, medicines paid for, I think I got out cheap.

Must say I paid in 12 years without using healthcare before that though... think I used that up now and some....

[n6hcm]

that's great news ... i had to look up what a stent actually does (i had mistaken it for something else) ... someday we'll get the medical care thing right in the us--i hae a friend in london who is fighting foot ulcers (type 2 diabetes) and he gets medical care at home when it makes sense ...

[PA5COR]

We have a medical and insurance that tries to keep the people at home and treat them there if that is possible.
You pop in hospital for surgeries and check up's but extensive care with nurses and skilled personell comes by the house if you ned it.
Simple reasoning, a day in the hospital costs 600 euro's and for that you can pay lots of nursing hours at the patients home, andf at home the patient feels him/herself at the best place to cure the ailment, so mostly the patients get better sooner at home as using up a bed in the hospital.

I must say the last 10+ years every month insurance premium paid in did hurt a bit, but I'm not complainng now, got my value for that time and some.
People on low income get part of that premium back in a subsidizing scheme, and if you need medicines all year long an extra allowance is paid in.
So, whatever your income is, it is always affordable.

How completely un-American.... you Socialist bastid... ;)

[PA5COR]

Yep, I know, so sorry for that....:mrgreen:

[N8YX]

Great news, Cor! I'm glad everything went well. Take care of yourself, hear?

[PA5COR]

Yep, I hear it ;)

[HUGH]

I hope your stents are plastic, some grumpy airport security men might be awkward! Anyway, where you live I imagine a leisurely weekend bike ride may be in order?

[PA5COR]

Metal stent, coated with stuff that prevents the body from rejecting it, and one year medication helping that process...

Yep, we have 3 bicycles for 2 peeps here, I also walk a lot, back problems and roads with holes and bicycling don't always mix well..;)
And working with the heart foundation for revalidation as well.

You mean..............the Netherlands are #1 for pot holes? And, why are they called pot holes anyway?

[KG4CGC]

In the US, just the room in the hospital runs roughly anywhere from $750 to $1750 an hour depending on location and system affiliation. I know a nearby hospital that averages out to $1000 an hour just for the bed.

[wa6mhz]

Hope U are feeling well Cor!

[PA5COR]

Cleaned up the house yesterday and today, no problems, weekend cleaning and waxing the car of the ex wife, feeling 110% now, no pain in the chest after serious exercise wound healing fine, just the medical cocktail of meds in the morning is a pain in the proverbial *ss...

[PA5COR]

Hospital room including food etc is about 600 Euro's a day or a bit under 800 bucks.
I had single rooms must be my low insurance premium paying for the privilege ;)

Won't see a bill of that all, all paid for through my healthcare insurance, including operation and aftercare I will get and medicines.

I think you're supposed to take then orally.

There is one up side, it's harder to OD that way.

Tell that to the dummies who do the alcohol enema aka butt chugging. This method of alcohol consumption is dangerous because it leads to faster intoxication since the alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and neutralizes the body's ability to reject the toxin by vomiting. A 20 year old student was taken to the University of Tennessee hospital with alcohol poisoning and was unresponsive with a blood alcohol content more than .40 percent. A Texas man died after his wife gave him a sherry enema causing his blood alcohol level to soar to .47 percent.
