I deployed again to Florida for hurricane Matthew and got sent from there to North Carolina. By North Carolina it was chest pains. I got home two weeks ago, went to the cardiologist, ran tests etc. The next day we went on vacation. Got home,followed up and did a ct scan.
A week ago, I had a heart cath to see if the one year old stent could be repaired. It had closed on itself (caused those pains). That option was not possible. The only option now is by pass surgery, yes open heart surgery, cracked chest, lengthy recovery of a couple months. I leave for Vanderbilt Medical Center tomorrow. Surgery is early Wednesday morning.
I will fly as much as possible now that I got the game back on mynewkindle. I might not be flying for a days after surgery but hopefully will feel well enough to drop in here for a minute.

Can I shoot you a text?
You have been one busy Wolf, navmed. Mrs. Viper and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers my brother. Wish I would have known you were in the neighborhood for Matthew, we could have got together.
Some of you don't know, but navmed and I made a Med cruise together onboard USS Eisenhower back in 1998.
