I am really glad to read that both of you are doing okay! I can't imagine the pain Michael must be going through. Boy, that just sounds awful!

Thinking of you both too. I am glad that Michael is doing well.

I hope you can see your own Dr. Yes, insurance and paperwork are a pain in the you know what. Will be looking for updates!

Good deal. Glad to hear everyone is doing good. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Jerry - Im glad to hear Michael is feeling better. Surgery is not fun.

Now - we need to find out what is going on with you!

And - OH Boy, do I know all about dealing with insurance companies. It's been about everyday since Alan's car wreck. Im about to lose what little bit that left of my mind.

Boy, you travel more than anyone I know! I am jealous! Here is to a wonderful SAFE UNEVENTFUL trip! And I hope the tests/proceedures all go well. Will be keeping an eye out for updates.

Geez Jerry. You are falling apart! We're just gonna have to take you to the back yard and shoot you!

Seriously, I hope all is well. A hiatal hernia is very painful. You will feel so much better when your surgery is done and it's all fixed.

Hopefully, that dentist will make the tooth better, too. That's another VERY painful thing to have...

Getting older really sucks doesnt it!

I will be thinking of you tomorrow and praying all goes well and you get nothing but good news. Its so good you are listening to your body and working with your Dr to figure out what could be wrong.

Let us know how things go. <<hugs>>

Prayers for you, !

Hey Jerry...I am gone for a few months..come back and you fell apart....It amazes me when someone who is active and physical fit has these type of medical problems......if you were over weight, smoked and just sat around it would be one thing but being in the shape you are.....it does not make sense..

Your cardiologist Iam sure must be top notch.....if in a couple weeks you are not better...make an appt with another board certified cardio for a second opinion.....the heart is NOT something to ignore....trust me I know.

I hope your son is doing ok...that surgery sounds SOoooo painful.

By the way did/does your doc know about you going diving???? I would think that is not something to do with heart problems....

Take care...my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours....

My primary is also one of my freinds. We also dive together. I did talk to the cardo about it and he said he there shouldn't be a problem. The main problem I have is when I run my heart starts to race 180 200 240 bpm, not always but sometimes. Diving depending on what kind of diving is and can be very peacefull.


P S don't have anymore diving trips planned for the rest of the year.

It's good to have you back, Jerry!

Glad you are back Jerry. 240 when you run?!? Holy cow! My heart rate also really gets up there when I run/workout. No one ever seems to be concerned, maybe I should be more concerned myself? But I don't think it has ever been 240 though. Take care of yourself OK?

Jerry - Im so glad to hear you are getting medical attention. Like Roz said, the heart is NOT something to ignore...

Glad you are back and feeling a little better. We miss you when you're gone!
