COFSTA

Had another heart attack while riding. Crashed the FJ-09. Broke some bones in my gad like Lee and my knee is the size of a cantaloupe.
Two stints. One in one of the veins that they had bypassed. The other new.

Oh fuck. No way. Damn Brick, I hate this. Where are you? You already got the stents?

Geez! So sorry to hear about this Brick.
Get well my friend.

When and where did this occur?

Yikes! ...glad you're still here to post about it- get better, soon!

Geez, Brick! Sorry to hear of your troubles. I guess all that "healthy food and gym workouts" didn't do the job. Hope you get well fast and start riding again.

For FUCKS SAKE JIM! Sometimes you just get the family genes that are predisposed to certain conditions. Certainly doesn't help Brick feel better reading comments like that!
Broz out.

Geez, I just saw this. Damn it, crap, bummer!

Not again sad to hear this.

Sorry Brick. I didn't mean what Broz read into it. Trying to be a little cute but I guess I failed. I too went through what has happened to you recently and I too was working out and eating all the right foods and had the second heart attack! My wishes are sincere for a speedy recovery.

Yamadog over and out

Jim not a problem. It does make one wonder about doing all the right things and still having issues. As people smarter than I said... "you can't beat genetics!" Heart issues are in my family.

My mothers family had the sucky cardio genes. Have been waiting to see if I got them. Do have the high BP part.

Same here. So far I have her atrial fibrillation and high BP. Her parents had other heart issues. You just never know....

Hoping these new stents will do the trick for Brick.

Brick,
Sorry to hear! Last on the road and last to hear. Here's hoping you get back in battery soonest.

Brick just read this, I am really sorry to hear this, your in my thoughts and prayers

Update... Each day is a little better. They set my broken metacarpals #4 & 5 left hand on Thursday. That was excruciating! Yesterday I got an MRI of my left knee. May have tendon or ligament torn. [FLUSHED FACE] Lots of black and blue!
Bike is not too bad so I hear?!?!

Sorry to hear that but glad you survived "everything". You were lucky, although you probably don't feel too lucky right now.

Where IS subject bike located--I assume not at home since you can't see it.

It's at Fun Cycles.

Yesterday, Thursday 6/1 was two weeks after I had a follow up with EmergeOrtho. Lee picked me up in his pickumup truck. The visit was kind of a clusterFxxx! Did X-ray of hand then the nurse came in and unwrapped my hand. I tried to tell her No but she said she knew what she was doing! Well Dr came in looked at my unwrapped hand and turned around and said who unwrapped his hand!?!?! So the X-ray showed it was doing well but now he had to redo it which is excruciating! [POUTING FACE] Then he told me bad news on the MRI of my knee. I blew out almost everything in that knee! Monday I go to OrthoCarolina in Charlotte to a Sports Med guy to see what they can do. But I'm almost positive that they will need to do some major work in there! [FLUSHED FACE]
Damn!

Well shit that sucks. Ortho-carolina guys are usually pretty good, hope they can clean up the mess in that knee. From the bruising I saw, doesn't surprise me theres a lot of damage.

That really sucks! Hope they can clean it up well so you can be back awheel soonest.

Sorry to hear about this my friend. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

So sorry to read of this Brick. Lessons to be learned for all of us with heart issues in the family......Be extra cautious with these issues.


Get well soon!

Brick, whats the verdict from Ortho on the knee?

Well the Orthopedic dr in Charlotte said he felt positive that my knee should scar over and not need surgery. Much better. He wanted me to stay off of it a bit... keep the immobilizer on when I was on it. Elevation and ice. Then come back in two weeks.
I take this as very positive! We will see.

Good news!

Just now reading this and sorry to hear. I don't get updates on the brain Phartz forum for whatever reason, I'm sure Bob will chime in about clearing my Yahoo inbox or something. Hope you heal up quickly. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse! I will need a contingency plan for on-bike heart attack.

In light of sitting on my butt too much (a huge risk factor for cardiovascular events) and short 2 mile commute to work, I bought an E-bike that is on the way. Separate post to follow.

Ok so I'm NOW back in CMC. Room 6932. Looks like I'll be here another night. My iPhone 6 is down to 11% charge... more if I get a charger.

You and me are doing our bit to keep the local medical economy well funded.

I only have 2% charge. Bob bring m an iPhone 6 charger.

You staying tomorrow (Mon) night? If so let me know I'll bring charger in the morning.

Its a hospital - surely one of the staff have an iPhone charger! You can probably find them in any break room. Get well soon, my friend!

My night nurse, Sal, had a charger. So I started today with 100%. I go for an abdominal ultrasound soon. I think they are looking for aliens.

Probably checking for thoracic aneurysm. I was checked for those couple times. Also looks for kidney stones etc. Ever had those?

Probably looking for how he defies gravity on a motorcycle

I know this isn't funny but maybe it's time for a complete overhaul.

I'm past due for a complete rebuild.
They are going to take out my gallbladder but are trying to decide when because I'm on blood thinners.
