Important medical info for consideration of 14-h

[bill van steenwyk]

Good Evening Eddie:

I had very good news at my bi-annual visit with my cardiologist today, and I wanted to share it with you, as I know you enjoy our occasional conversations on Hydroracer and would hate to see them interrupted by any tragic circumstance.

I don't usually share my medical condition with just anyone, but since the news was so good, I wanted you to be the first to know, so you could plan on my being available to continue our discussions in the future, hopefully for years to come.

My Cardiologist made the comment that a man of my age with the open heart surgery I had 22 months ago to replace two coronary arteries and my aortic valve sometimes did not show the excellent results I have enjoyed. Some patients do not do as well, but he did say the following about me and my results:

"WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING, KEEP DOING IT, AS IT SEEMS TO REALLY AGREE WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY THE INTERACTION WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS!"

As you can imagine I was very pleased to hear that, and plan on trying to continue with his advice as long as I am able, including my little chats with YOU on HR.

Eddie, I am going to post the results of the latest common tests I had for this visit. I am sure you are as happy as I to know that my health is as good as it is, and you can look forward to having our little discussions for hopefully years to come yet. But, you never know with someone my age, so rest assured I plan on taking very good care of myself in the future as I really look forward to our little chats. Hope you feel the same, and know that I would not share this information with just anyone that I did not feel had my best interest at heart.

Cholesterol LDL (good kind) 102
HDL(bad kind) 30
BP resting before exercise 112/72
BP 5 minutes after exercise 105/68
Pulse Ox after exercise 97
Pulse Rate 5 min " " 68

I know you did not ask for this information, but based on all the fun we have had in the past, I just could not keep it to myself, knowing you have probably worried about this because of the age difference between us. Again, I really look forward to our chats in the future, and know you do also.

Sincerely

Bill


P. S. Just so I can't be accused of forgetting anyone, please let Richard know this information is for him also. Older folks minds tend to wander sometimes and he slipped my mind temporarily.

Bill,

Please stop writing this trash, enough already! this is by far one of the most bizarre post I have ever seen here at HR since I started it back in 2002. Even though no one ask you about your health that's nice to hear but after reading this I have to question your mental stability.

Let it go already please. Your racing days are long over so for Gods sake just let these fine folks do what they enjoy. Honestly you are starting to sound like a bababling old fool.

Enough!

Thank you Dan

Thank you Dan. I was in disbelief.

[bill van steenwyk]

Thanks Dan...............

.......for your good wishes.



Its called Satire.

I thought someone with your journalistic qualities would get it.



Oh, and my mind is just fine, but thanks for your concerns.

[14-H]

Bill: Glad to hear it. Don't worry, you don't have to bait me into responding to you. It's just that so many others have stepped up to the plate to respond to your non-sense that it is not always necessary for me to do it anymore. Also, Howard is really giving you a run-for-the-money for being the person who is posting the most ridiculous stuff on here. But this thread clearly puts you back in the lead.

Congrats!

Eddie:

Thanks for thinking enough of me to put me back in first place.

Everybody appreciates their fans!

***!

You did that all by yourself.

[Harmon-51V]

Hahaha this is ridiculous!! Bill u would be the perfect guy to be in one of those dunk tanks at the carnival! I think Eddie would be the first in line

[bill van steenwyk]

Eddie:

You are too modest, and I insist you share the credit.

After all, since you are the subject of the post, you deserve it.

[bill van steenwyk]

If his aim is no better than his judgement sometimes, I don't think I would have to worry about getting wet, no matter his place in line.

[PRO-MOTIONRACING]

In the old days we would look forward to the carnival...

Now days we just stay home and tune into Hydroracer.

[bill boyes]

You know all this is just sad. Lets stop the personal stuff. Give your fingers a rest.

[Big Don]

This has my vote for the most bizarre thread ever.

[Sheila Schaub]

I'm sorry, I don't know why, but a certain line from one of my favorite movies comes to mind after reading this thread: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore".

Cheers
