When I had my heart attack, I waited 6 months for double bypass. Health care in this province (Ontario) blows large.

I'm self employed, run a small HVAC company. five techs plus myself. This is the busy season, we need all the work we can get. I just want this fixed asap so I can carry on.

There's a time when we all have to slow down. This is one of them. You really really don't want a piece of that clot to break free.

You have a bad situation but working can really make it a lot worse which could make work future uncertain. I know -and hate- the situation you are in but life has taught me that taking risks with your health seldom helps. Take care and concentrate on R&R.

Went to the hospital today to talk to surgeon, he said situation is unusual as there is both an aneurysm and a blockage. Didn't fully understand but surgery is set for August 7. All in all not a bad wait for Ontario health care. ( 3 months ) Hope all goes well.
Hospital just called and bumped up the surgery to July 23, and to be honest this whole surgery thing has me scared as all hell.

Went to hospital today for pre admission visit, blood test, and the anesthesiologist. Was told surgery was booked from 9-12:30 this Thursday. He also said the pros outweigh the cons. Not sure how to take that. If everything goes well, see you next week. If not its been a slice.

Surgery is scary, it should be as they´re cutting into your flesh

I´ve been on the table many times and I´ve been lucky -more benefit than anything else BUT nothing is perfect in this world. Take care bro.

A friend of mine is on a blood thinner because of a clot in his leg. A while ago he started bleeding from his rectum. Being a stubborn fellow he nearly bled to death before he went to the hospital and they figured it out. He had hemorrhoids.
