For those that didn't see it in another thread -

Heywood wrote:Regretfully, I'm out.

I'll be under going a heart cath this coming Monday. Best case, it will show a minor blockage that can be treated with medicine, OR I'll get a stint and be kept over night. 7-10 days to recoup. No strenuous activities.

Worst case is bypass surgery. That will keep me out much longer.

There is great power in positive thinking. Let's do our best to channel some Heywood's way!

Hang tough, Bill. Get through this and we'll see you out on the flats soon.

Good luck with the procedure, Bill!

I'll be thinking of you, and dedicate any fish caught in the PFTS to your expert tutelage.

Bill our prayers are with you brother. Positive thoughts will help and be assured that the procedure has a very high success rate. My neighbor just had it done and is up and running as good as before.

I have known several people that undewent what you are going through. Everyone of them came out the better for having it done. It is very common place now. Amazing what they can do. I will put you in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

You will be JUST FINE.

My wife has undergone heart catherization twice (2005 and 2006) and is sporting a very expensive set of stents. She is pissing and moaning better than ever and said the procedure didn't even bother her.

For many folks it is a "same day surgery", you don't stay the night.

One thing for sure, you will feel MUCH better afterwards. I don't know of anyone that has said otherwise.
