Walk-Walk-Walk and keep on walking. Best thing for you ! And don't be pitching tent's with the nurses (Angels of Mercy) those gowns are very reveling.

FU2 has it right, Walk
My valve is titanium, dont know, how may angles, but it will outlast me

Hi,

I sorta know what it's like because I had a mild case of an attack back in 2005. Actually happened while I was replacing my radiator and the water pump.
Since I live in a high rise condo, I was working on my Z outside by the car wash area. While torquing down the water pump, all of a sudden, all strength just totally drained out of me. So, being a smoker, I sat down and had a cigarette thinking I had pulled a muscle. Well, to make a long story short, I finally realized that I had an episode and thought about calling an ambulance but NOT with my Z semi-disassembled and outside! I summoned all my strength, buttoned her back up drove into my below-grade parking spot, went up the elevator to my unit and then called an ambulance.
Did not need any surgery and have been fine since then. Matter of fact, I am off all my blood thinner, etc... and will have a blood work done on the 17th to see if I can get off of my medication.
Truly wish you a speedy and full recovery!:cheers:

Nice to see that you have your priority's in order. Dying can wait I have to get beast back safe and sound first.

I can honestly say I would have done the same exact thing.

Yo Brad, wow I'm sorry that I didn't see this sooner. I'm sending some prayers your way for a complete and speedy recovery!:handshak:


You have to get well soon because I've been told by some small flying creature that there are two ZR-1's that sorely miss your company!:thumbsup:
