Im not an amatuer. Shes correct.

I'm not an amateur either. I'm basically asking why someone who is not
qualified goes to such lengths to give a dissertation on something this
complicated that has an affect on another person's health. While it was
not necessarily incorrect in a general sense, it may not have been
totally correct when applied to CJ's case.

Ah, guys. Really. No need to argue about whether people want to be
helpful or not. I will end up following my doctor's advice anyway.

Good luck CJ, you'll fly again.

Just in the past month I've talked with two pilots who have their medical
back after heart surgery. One has a pacemaker and the other had a triple
bypass.

The triple bypass gentleman rebuilds Cubs. He had a Super Cub completed and
was running the engine up when he had his heart attack. He passed out but
the airplane took off, climbed to about 400 feet and then veered over and
crashed. Roger broke most of his bones in the crash...............but called
me about 2 months ago with the good news about his medical. He is selling
his Skywagon. It's a good one. Never been wrecked. I bought it brand new in
1969. After your episode is over, I know you are looking for a plane!

Sorry to hear about all this, CJ. It's funny, we all feel so
invulnerable, yet in reality we're just a heartbeat away from being
grounded.

Just last week a friend of mine -- an A&P mechanic and pilot -- was
driving down I-380 with his family when his headache became much
worse, and he lost control of the left side of his body.

He was able to pull over, and his wife called 911. He was conscious
the whole time, but sounded drunk because he couldn't make his mouth
work right.

The first responders were a police unit, who (being July 4th)
immediately suspected drunk driving. Only the paramedics were able to
determine that he was having a stroke, and whisked him to the
hospital.

With immediate treatment he recovered (he was back at work three days
later, against doctors orders) amazingly quickly, but he won't be
flying again any time soon. (Last year he had a mild heart attack --
he's only 42, and isn't over-weight.)

Hang in there, CJ.
