Well, we're glad that you're okay. [:)]

My comments about the hernia are based on personal experience. I actually made a trip to the ER because of it. The hernia wasn't diagnosed at that time, BTW. I just got used to the fact that, in certain situations, I was gonna suffer debilitating chest pain, an accelerated pulse and, sometimes, extreme nausea.

Eventually, I complained about "acid-indigestion" so much that an internal-medicine guy ordered the "upper-GI." After the test, a radiologist explained to me that I had four inches of my stomach sticking up in my chest. The treatment regime consisted of wearing looser clothing, losing weight and avoiding heavy meals.
One way or the other, congratulations on not having a coronary!

Thank You,I 'm happy too with not having a coronary[:)]

Hopefully it was just a hiccup somewhere in my system but I will bring up the hernia to my regular doctor when I see him on the 2nd as a followup. I dont know too much about hernias but I was doing some extra stuff that day. I was cleaning out my old car and removed my weight lifting parts I had in the trunk. Granted they were not heavy(max 25lbs) but for me they were probably overkill with the amount of pieces there.

It's going to be an interesting week next week. My surgeon wants to release me back to work. Cardiac rehab wont let me lift more than 20 lbs but work demands I drag a 150lbs bag 90 ft. That is going to be impossible so I need to convince the doc not to release me yet or at the most let me go back light duty....Otherwise I cant collect unemployment, disability, medical or any form of cash. Just my royalties. Granted the Disability money is bad but it was still enough to pay a nice sized portion of our bills. It's not like I have too much to spend it on. Lol....I've cut down on my games spending which is nice and I had no choice but quit smoking so between those two I had a bagful of extra discretionary income laying around for my wife to dip in for bills...hehehehe

So to save my wife the trouble of dipping into my game money, Matrix better get the ball rolling and come out with some games(pls pls let it be EagleDay) I want or some great stuff included in thier sale event..Lol..
