To all who wished me well or remembered Heide and me in your prayers, THANK
YOU! I feel better now than I have felt in a couple of years. (Apparently
that is typical for this type of procedure.)

I first noticed symptoms at 3:30 AM Saturday. By 4 AM the ambulance had
transported me to the ER. By 10:30 AM the problem had been identified and
two stents inserted through my groin. Two arteries leading to my heart had
been blocked 100%. I was discharged from the hospital just after 5 PM
Monday.

I'll know the extent of heart damage, etc. in a couple of weeks but, in the
meantime, I feel confident that all my weakness, light-headedness, etc. in
Iowa last year was likely related to this. I am abundantly optimistic about
everything.
