Come on, Jim, that's just mean, untrue, and uncalled for.
One of our own is going under the knife tomorrow, as you were when you
got hip surgery, and yet it seems you wanted us to wish you well while
what you want us to wish for him, now, is to die.

Come on, John, I said he was illiterate, not that I wished him dead.
It's a tricky game, valve replacement... my mother died in 1995 during
such an operation.
I don't know anything about Slowman's health, but he's so mean I'd bet
on his survival... that's an underhanded way of saying, "Be well"

Porcine. At 67 I´m old enough that they figure that there is an
adequate chance that
I´ll drop dead before this one wears out.
The new valve is in place and working fine, but the rest of the
heart is taking its time to adapting to not having to pump through a
100mm Hg pressure drop across the old aortic valve. My pulse rate
climbed about 180bpm over the first few days, which has been
controlled with some 300millligram per day of beta-blocker. but the
pulse rate is irregular, and I´m not up to much.
The operating hospital tried electro-cardio-version on Saturday, when
the irregularity first set in, and that worked fine for a couple of
hours. The hospital where I´ve been looked after since Sunday won´t
try again until my anti-coagulant drugs are consistently giving
clotting time three time the number they first measured, which usually
takes about a weeek to set up, so I´m stuck in hospital for a few days
yet.

Good to see you're over the first hurdle, Bill.
Take care.

The operating hospital tried electro-cardio-version on Saturday, when
the irregularity first set in, and that worked fine for a couple of
hours. The hospital where I´ve been looked after since Sunday won´t
try again until my anti-coagulant drugs are consistently giving
clotting time three time the number they first measured, which usually
takes about a weeek to set up, so I´m stuck in hospital for a few days
yet.

Hang in there, Bill. Sixty-seven is the new fifty...

Good luck with it Bill. Artificial or porcine valve replacement?
Porcine. At 67 I´m old enough that they figure that there is an
adequate chance that
I´ll drop dead before this one wears out.
The new valve is in place and working fine, but the rest of the
heart is taking its time to adapting to not having to pump through a
100mm Hg pressure drop across the old aortic valve. My pulse rate
climbed about 180bpm over the first few days, which has been
controlled with some 300millligram per day of beta-blocker. but the
pulse rate is irregular, and I´m not up to much.
Sounds like a recipe for weakness and headaches, on top of the
after-effects of anesthesia.

That's exactly what I told my 11-year old nephew when he tried to
convince me that 67% is a good mark on a math test. And now they get a
redo.
Best wishes to Sloman!

My dad had that in his 60's. It lasted just fine the rest of his life,
25 more years. Your biggest hazard is boredom: bring some good books.

Just one, but it´s lasting well. `The Age Of Wonder` by Richard Holmes
ISBN 978 0 00 714953 7. It was published in 2008, but I didn´t buy it
until came out in paperback. It could equally have been called Joseph
Banks and his circle with the expected emphasis on Wilhelm Herschel
and his sister Caroline and Humphry Davy, but the Romantic poets get
their attention, and there is even a mention of Thomas Love Peacock.

Jim Thompson is ill-informed. He gets all his information from his
steaming imagination. Since he kill-files everybody who posts
information that he doesn´t want to believe, he stays ill-informed.

Come on, Jim, that's just mean, untrue, and uncalled for.
One of our own is going under the knife tomorrow, as you were when you
got hip surgery, and yet it seems you wanted us to wish you well while
what you want us to wish for him, now, is to die.

I speak only for myself, but Slowman is NOT one of ours, but an interloper.

Since there is nothing in the sci.electronics.design charter that
reserves group access to right-wing nitwits JosephKK is merely
confirming his position as a card-carrying right-wing nitwit. I´d hate
to be thought of as one of his group, whom I don´t recall as being
quite so well represented when I started posting here, back in 1996.

The Cochrane collaboration recommends other interventions.
