nbeaton 1 Posted January 18, 2009 He had a blocked valve at 90% they went in a put a stint in and hes doing better now so much better he got to come home yesterday. this was the first one so the doc said theres no damage. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. He does have to more blockages but the doc wont do anything for them until they are 75% blocked. One is 20% blocked and the other which is the main valve is 50% blocked. He is on 6 different meds and the doc said they hope this helps the other 2 thats blocked to keep them from clogging up more. Again thank you all. Me I am better now cause all I could think of was that I would never talk to him ever again. Nancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted January 18, 2009 Oh Nancy, my heart goes out to you....how scary that had to be for you! I'm so thankful that your husband is better and at home. Still so scary for him as well. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that things continue to go well. Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 18, 2009 So sorry ot hear it Nancy but happy to hear they got it in time. He got a warning....a second chance,like I did. THat's how I look at it anyway...time to pay attention to what I eat....things like that. A Lot of people don't get the second chance. Tell him to do what he;s told...that's important. Best to you and him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Nancy, I'm so sorry you both had such a scare. Great to hear they were able to put a stint in and no damage. My Dad had a few stints put in last year and has been doing better since. I can't imagine the scare when going through such, my husband is my best friend. You'll both be in our thoughts and prayers.

nbeaton 1 Posted January 19, 2009 Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Yes Jenn I was wondering to if it was the water......lol. I just wished they would have fixed the main one but was told they wont until its 75% blocked. I have a friend and she had her husband up there with the same thing going on with him but he didn't go through the ER like mine did and they bumped him and took my husband right on in. I told her I was sorry and she said it was ok cause her husband walked in and was waiting to see the doc. Mine had colapsed when he got out of the truck at the ER door. Yes my husband is mybest friend too and all I could think about was if I was going to make it to him in time. But the docs told him if his boss and another coworker had not got him there when they did it would have been worse. I told them that they are his angels. I would like for him to take the week off to rest up. Banner we are like you we started eating the right things yesterday when we got him home. No more junk foods and yes you both got a second chance. Glad to see you here to John keep up the good work and get well. Thank you all again. Nancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonkeyMeMe 8 Posted January 19, 2009 JOhn and Nancy, If you guys are going to change your diet, her are some things i know, Avoid eating white,, one of the main surgeons at the mayo clinc told me , one day,, avoid white,foods,, and you will never have to be on my table. or anything that will not melt in your hand as far as a solid, that turns to liquid. What does not melt in your hand, clogs arterties. No lard No Crisco No white sugar No white bleached Flour these are a few yes to olive oil yes to butter yes to wheat and most important lots of oatmeal I have tried to live by this, I have a ton of recipes if you guys want some. When you would normally bake, instead of white sugar put honey. you body uses it different,, try to stay away from splenda and equal. they are synthetic I make pies cookie, muffins, and carmels truffles, and all kinds of things,, white sugar is for my hummingbirds,, or guests for coffee.. sometimes i loose control and start sugar, and then crave it, and it makes me feel nasty,,, get back on my Honey, and I am good ..and lots of energy,, Maybe we should start a healty recipe thread? I hope this helps. MonkeyMeMe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted January 19, 2009 MMM you just sub honey for equal parts sugar, when called for in a recipe?? Does it drastically change the taste? I'm not much for sweets to begin with, luckily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted January 19, 2009 ... Maybe we should start a healty recipe thread? I hope this helps. MonkeyMeMe That's such an awesome idea! If not a thread, would you be willing to share your recipes with me? I can post them up on a web page for everyone to download if you'd like to share with the masses. I love honey and would love to try some of the recipes that have some ... actually I would really like to look at the any and all of your recipes. A few members of my family have cholesterol issues, which I know can lead to all kinds of bad things (sigh). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonkeyMeMe 8 Posted January 19, 2009 Started a thread,, for your family with choles problems do you know oatmeal, not only is great fiber,, it helps lower colestr now,,, I make a oatmeal muffin , with no flour, no sugar, no oil,, .I will post it , in the other thread,, and please post recipes everyone else has,,,, Monkey MeMe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 19, 2009 I am sorry to hear about your husband. I am glad that he is doing better. I am also glad that everyone is getting excited about eating healthy! My mother is a huge health nut, she doesn't cook with anything processed what so ever. All organic foods, no conventional flower, hardly any dairy. It is a very crazy diet and I do not follow most of it but she has done a ton of research on nutrition and I sure am glad that she did! Eating healthy makes you feel great! Like MMM said, if I eat processed sugar now I can REALLY feel the difference. It almost feels like I got punched in the stomach or something. Avoiding the white is great advice. Nearly always if something you are eating is white it got that way from bleach. I am sure I do not need to say this but bleach is terrible for you! I am excited for your healthy recipe thread, hopefully I can get a few choice recipes to add. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Levi you should have your Mom add some recipes to MMM's other thread for healthy recipes. The problem is finding recipes that will still taste good while taking out the white stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Levi you should have your Mom add some recipes to MMM's other thread for healthy recipes. The problem is finding recipes that will still taste good while taking out the white stuff. I will have her hop on here at some point. She has been working hard at developing her own alternative recipes for about 5 years now so she has some good ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
