  • I Havent Been Able To Work

    I havent been able to work on my trans for a few days now. I was gonna
    change the valve body to see if that corrects my issue.. BUT I had a doc
    appointment last Thursday to get a cath job done to see how bad my
    by-pass was collapsed... well its 100% collapsed .. they went in with a
    camera to take pics and get a plan of attack.. they did that.. they let
    me go home later that day(Thursday).. well I was at home and later in the
    evening I had a bad heart attack... I got the ride(ambulance) to the hospital
    but have been in here waiting till Monday... they are gonna split me on
    Monday at 7:30 in the morning.. they are gonna do a 4 way by-pass...the
    bummer is... my wife was scheduled to have a hip replaced this coming
    Friday.. she had to postpone her hip job for 5 weeks... looks like I should
    still make DW... but the timing is getting close... and I still need to finish
    on my junk and get some testing.... DAMN this sure is messing things up..
    oh well

      Your health means more than anything at this point. Get healthy and I'll bet you're ready for Drag Week no problem afterwards.

                Health trumps all... get better first, THEN worry about DW.

                      Hi...this is Raff's wife. He's doing good. I brought his computer in for him and got it connected to the hospital wifi. He's eating lunch right now but I'm sure he'll talk to you sometime today.
