A small amount of plaque had burst, and nearly killed me, but now there is no sign of plaque, no damage, and other than a few basic pills, the doctors say i am at 100%, with no chance of it happening again. My wife spoke words of prayer over me for a couple of hours and I really believe God saved my life! Geddy the Gecko, John Mallory. Glad to hear of your awesome recovery.

Praise God you had a great surgeon and are here to give God the glory. I pray you recover quickly. I have a "1st Things 1st" priority list on my bulletin board written by you and refer to it often to remind me how to be most effective in this life. There's no doubt God and family have to be in the top two positions if we want to enjoy our walk on this earth. Thanks for the reminder. Now! Abide by it! Take care brother! Sharon Hey Karl,

Is this the year of CP's having heart attacks? I am SO thankful that you headed "jesus" in your heart and stopped by the ER to have things checked out. Three months ago last week I found myself feeling the same way during a rather busy work day and decided that I should have the doctor tell me I was a hypchondriac in the ER and to go home and rest. Turns out that 20 minutes after being in the ER I had a heart attack and the angiogram/angioplasty followed the next morning. I am so thankful that the stents are doing their job and that you are on the mend....by the way have you named your stents? I had friends on Facebook name mine which are "thank" and "God." Take care you are in my thoughts and prayers. How's your little boy doing through all this? And that beautiful wife of yours? <abbr><em>Jeanette’s last blog post..<a href="http://pomokidz.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-huh.html" rel="nofollow">What the huh????</a></em></abbr> Hey Karl!

And I also had a stent in the exact same spot. I am doing well. I did have to have another procedure done last year. Another stent placed below the previous one. I was getting short of breath and weak. Didn't think it was much but went in anyway. I am very active to a fault and still do whatever I want. When I feel good I feel great! You will have to change some long standing habits- healthy eating, lots of good exercise and you'll do great. Rest alot over the next few weeks. Thanks for all you do for the Lord. Dana Hey Karl,
