For all those Drake collectors out there in radio land.
A few weeks ago I temporarily shut down ¡®The Heathkit Shop¡¯ website¡¯ cause I wasn¡¯t feeling so hot. It will be back up sometime this year. I had hoped for sometime this summer.
However, on Friday the 26th of March, my clock stopped. Taken to hospital and had my pipes cleaned and had the roto-rooter run though them. Apparently, I had (have) microvascular angina.
I drove myself to the North Lawrence fired department where they took me to the hospital.
One stint inserted, but the rest of the plumbing seems to be okay.
More doctors to see, and I have enough pills to start my own drug store now
I¡¯m still kicking, just not a high as I was
I could have went sideways.
With a bit of luck, I¡¯ll have the Heathkit Shop up and running later this year

Prayers for a speedy recovery Mike!

Thank you for your note.? We wish you the best to get back to good health again and you will have good treatment.
It was a scare, but that is a good thing, a warning, so you can make changes.

Hi Mike
Glad that you got this taken care of relatively early (one stint is not so bad). Its amazing what they can do these days with the "drive through" theory of modern medicine.
I look forward to shopping in your store again! Get well soon and do what the doc says to do!

Mike Same thing happened to me some 8 years ago. Got to the hospital and in less than an hour was feeling like a millions dollars again after one stent. Been fine ever since, and so shall you. Take care my friend. 73, Richard AG5M On Wednesday, March 31, 2021, 12:34:37 PM PDT, mike bryce <prosolar@...> wrote:

Mike - Let's not have any re-runs of this "coronary artery occlusion" stuff. Please take care of yourself, ease back into things, and do what your physician tells you to do. We really would like to have you around a bit longer - say like at least another 20-25 years or so (assuming you are around my age of 72).?
Best,
Hank WM1V

I had angioplasty a few years ago. Had four stents installed, they wanted to do five but one artery was too blocked. Was told it didn't matter. It made such an enormous difference its hard to express. I was having burning pains, fortunately I did not have a heart attack and there was no damage. I was put on a powerful blood thinner for a couple of years (Plavix) and take a statin. So far all is OK. The worst of the procedure is being bored for four hours. I was expecting to have open heart surgery and was very relieved it was not necessary. They told me it could be done again if needed. So, the procedure does work. If you are on a blood thinner it can be a bother. The stuff I took will produce awful looking bruises if you stick yourself with a pin but they heal up. ??? This surgery (it really isn't surgery because they don't cut you) is not painful and will fix something that not too long ago would have killed you. ?? Good luck and feel better. I have two of the AC-4 kits installed.
