Part 2 The attending Doc does all mechanical cardiac stuff at Yale meaning if some one does a BIpass he builds a system to keep The patiant's Blood flowing, with an Aortic issueIts like sticking your finger in the 8 inch hole in your cars gas tank, Just aint gonna work..so 11% who suffer what I have survive BUt 10% are prediagnosed and are sent in BEFORE the anerusym bursts, Then there is the 1% who survived it bursting, and when they are brought out of they're coma they still have functioning organs and brain, because the doc thought by bringing my core tempurature down to 60 degrees asap ,they might help preserve some stuff
organs and brain power I spent a hellish month in the hospital, including having my chest spilt open and healing from that, NOw I am, still trying to settle my BP down, I have been dealing with a lot of derpression , due to the meds and nature of the surgury cardiac is extreme depressing CRap so..UGH..lol JIM

Hey Josh , sorry I havent been on here much, lately, and when you wrote that last I had been In the hospital exactly 2 weeks. ON the 8th of October I must have been feeling not so good about 1 am I called 911 (Dont remember doing it) luckily I live 3 blocks from HQ and 4 blocks to our Local ER a paramedic engine and paramedic Rescue were dispatched FRom HQ and arrived in 2 minutes and The Transport AMR bus is also 3 blocks away.. Obviously I am a GUY, IF I called I was hurtin... They Scooped and ran and the local ER doc said get him to Yale New Haven NOW which is about 20 minutes out, when i got there MY BP was 60 /30, what had happened is I suffered from a Disected Aortic Anuerysm which means a weekness in a wall of a blood vessle, in this case MY aorta which is the largest vessle in MY body Typically you would bleed out in a few minutes BUT I didnt ..more to follow

Josh, I've been mega-busy as usual. We're around 6 weeks from the completion of our training center and still have everything else going on as usual, plus more fires that usual, so I don't have lots of free time.

I'm mostly catching up on my sleep this weekend.

Hey josh howzit goin? last night was "myclass" 20 year anniversary party we rented the local golf course
it was perfect for a monday night... They did a typical buffet meal and booze, phew otherthen the actual organizer Iwas the last to leave... and all was good out of the orginal class of 50 we Graduated 49 we have had 3 die,(1 lodd,2 "other") Iam thinking we have like 7 or 8 that left, got canned or had physical issues and left early, we had 27 show up .. I think that was actually a fair turn out for 3 weeks planning... I got my results, The good news is I passed (through osmosis I guess) and am currently 20 on the list, the bad news is there are only like 8 jobs..lol so If YOU ever get on study your ass off >:P.. I actually dont care
I Like whatI do now, I act as driver and LT. and hangon too, it keeps me thinking and active physically more then just driving would and I am the senior guy on my shift 3rd in my house 2nd on my company soe everyone can KMA....lol
