I will be absent for awhile.....

[Hugh]

thanks to everyone for you prayers and well wishes.

A little more explanation: During the past seveal months I have been experiencing shortness of breath during moderate physical exertion. About two weeks ago I saw my doctor for a routine checkup, and mentioned this to him. He ran an EKG and it showed a slight change from the one run a year ago. Last week I visited a cardiologist and he determined that I had some heart blockage. This morning he ran a cardiac catheterization test and determined that blockage was severe in four places. Luckily, my heart is in excellent condition with no damage. We decided that "the sooner the better" for the surgery, as the doctor said that I am a "walking time bomb for a coronary"!

For everyones information: The 3 classic symptoms of a heart problem are: During moderate excersize, if you experience shortness of breath, a "tightness" or pain in your chest, and or dizzyness, SEE YOUR DOCTOR!
