Ugh, huge setback

I was so happy, the weather was finally turning perfect for por15. Mon and Tues were supposed to be over 70 degrees and under 50% humidity. The first time in weeks! I was getting ready to prep the floor of the cab, I got a call that some of my test results from the day before came back very high. I could have a potential blood clot in my heart pump, and could need to have the pump replaced. Fingers crossed that I don't need another open heart surgery! I guess I won't be getting the truck on the road before summer is up

Take care of yourself. Hopefully they won't have to open you up again.
The truck will wait. Get healthy.

Try a little Seafoam in your Orange juice, sounds like you have a stuck lifter

Putting off the truck to keep you healthy is a no brainer. I'm glad they found the anomaly b4, rather than later. Take it slow the truck will be there when you get home. Blessings

Besides the prayers it looks like a week-end work party might be helpful

My good friend and neighbor died last Monday of a heart attack at age 60...no warning, no reason for concern. I am a firm believer in preventative care...looks like you have some good health care, keep on the straight and narrow. The truck has lasted this many decades it will be there when you are back on your feet. Good luck...

Your going to want that heart to be in tip top condition to endure the rush you're going to get when you get that truck up and running. First YOU then the truck. Best wishes!

Our prayers are with you. Hopefully all will be well with meds and not surgery. You need to be healthy so you can get the truck running tip top just like your heart is going to be very soon. Pay attention to what the docs say.
