Just got back into town and saw this. Glad to hear that you are getting better Frank. I will continue to pray for you, since you still have some recovering to do. Never have had the pleasure to meet you, but you seem like a strong willed person that will get through this.

Hi Frank, I've been unable to post, but glad you are back at home. The Master of Physicians is giving you another chance. Scotty really needs you! He's your bud. Take care and know we all love you; you're a great guy and artist, but a friend to many, many people. Feel better.

First off, a hearty thank you, your voices of concern and prayers have evidently worked, I'm on the mend, again...
Talk about a blindside!!! Here I was, in the Utah mtns., enjoying myself, away from current problems in new digs and BAM!!!!!!!!! To the floor or seat as it were, HEART ATTACK!!!
Sneaky little bugger too!!! No warning, nothing...brush I was holding ended up on paper I'd laid down to catch any potential paint droppings (I was doing dash on really nice '56 BelAir and didn't want to end up buying owner new rug, so I laid out paper), good thing...and all I really remember w/any clarity at all is asking for a couple of aspirins when finally discovered, (had just finished conversation w/good bud, Coop; when it struck, he was first to me as I recall) Good thing I thought it was a high blood pressure attack and took the aspirin...the rest is foggy till later that nite at hospital when full effect of all the drugs they inserted into me, caught up and left me purging for over a half hour, funtime in the ol' town tonite for sure!!!! And no Boone, it wasn't as good smelling as the mush melon was, lol...
It was at hospital that true gravity of what had happened came to light for me...doctor sat and explained what had just happened and how many more of these I can afford to have...that answer was, not many...it seems I'm suffering for whatever reasons, from a irregular heart rhtymia...at one time, my heart exceeded 200 beats a minute...I was literally bouncing up and down on table in triache...the drugs put a stop to that, boy did they!!! It's a very strange sensation when ones heart is stopped and restarted, very strange...
Then, it happened again here because of a meds problem...if I'm being a little evasive here, bear w/me as I'm having to practice my new way of life in everyway...I can't afford to get upset about anything!!! So the less said on that subject, maybe the longer I'll live...and yes, I know that it's all hinged from this moment on, to the health of the heart...how I take care of it from now on, dictates how long it will last, full well knowing I've damaged it pretty good and a life w/o controversesy is now my creedo...
My days thus far are being spent, relaxing, ok, being lazy, happy? lol And must admit that it's not something that's coming naturally, it's hard being lazy...BUT!!! Too much and the little frog in back of throat starts his little war dance, first sign I'm in trouble again, so I back off and let it subside some before continuing w/chores or whatever...no work, not yet, don't trust myself to drive, yet...I'm just spending my days as if I was a billionaire...suppose the cavalier attitude will disappear at first sign of a bill in mailbox, then I'm going to wish I had the money billionaires have...lol
I'm really beat but need to acknowledge my nephews wife, Amy...Lord thank you for such a caring angel, w/o her here during second attack, I'm afraid the outcome would have been different...within 4 hours of getting the news, she was here, lock, stock and barrel and her 3 yr. old daughter, giving orders, taking orders, doing this, doing that, she just flat took over!!! And in a way that all respected her, even doctor ignored immediate family requirements w/her, of course he had no choice, like I said, she TOOK over!!! Ran all the errands, did all the research for the VA hospital I may be headed for, we'll see...I now know why my nephew married her, she's a jewel!!! God bless you Amy!!! Now, where'd you put the jelly???
Boy I'm tired, from last paragraph to this one, I just took a cat nap on keyboard, guess I should conclude now, thanks all, greatly appreciate concern expressed, I'll stay in touch thou I may be moving around alot now, different places of care and all that, you know...I'd love to thank each and everyone of you, but don't have the energy today, maybe tommorrow, nite.....
Frank/Scotty
ps-got to love Scotty, he hasn't left my side since Utah, thank you staff and Amy for setting that up, his presence means the world to me...(they even gave him a BATH!!! yup, he used the B word-lol)
