    Update

    Just a quick update...I haven't posted for quite sometime. I think the last time was soon after I had lung cancer surgery & then went back to hospital with what appeared to be a blood clot. Well, it wasn't a blood clot...turned out to be a 95% blocked artery(it was hidden behind another artery so hadn't showed up on previous angiograms) It required open heart by-pass just 27 days after the lung surgery & then went back about a week later to put a stint into the same artery. All in all, I spent 28 days in the hospital since April 2nd and am finally home & I think doing quite well. Think it will be a long recovery but am feeling pretty good at last.
    Have been thinking of you all and so very glad to have had the best possible medical care.
