Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

I haven't/couldn't do anything.  On April 11th I suffered a heart attack at 10PM.  Had absolutely no previous signs or symptoms.  Paramedics Got me  to the hospital in 30 minutes and on the operating table in 60. Had a stent placed in my coronary artery and spent 5 days in ICU recovering/waiting for a quadruple bypass on 4/16. 4 more days recovery then went home on the 20th.

Good news is that I'm walking on the green side of the grass.  Bad news is I'm on limited activity until cleared by the MD.  MY layout is in the basement and I not allowed to do stairs.  I'll be out for anywhere between 4 to 12 weeks which kills the summer carpentry season as my power tools are in the garage.

My wife watches over me like a hawk  and follows me every time I get up. But she's the best,  I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her fast action that Sunday. I love her dearly.

I'll guess I'll resort to armchair railroading for the present. Maybe get a pad of paper and doodle some ideas.

Timing is everything!  Praying you have a great resolve!    

Cheers, Dave
