Received an update on Coug Dad, he is doing well and appreciates all the well wishes. Here is the update:

The heart attack was fairly mild and I was fortunate enough to be two blocks from the fire station and hospital when it happened. Amazingly, I went from heart attack to cardic OR in less than 30 minutes. The docs credit the speed with limiting the damage. I start cardiac rehab tomorrow and that will be six weeks of hopeful improvement. I hope to go back to work part time in three weeks. No travel for at least six weeks.

Please keep him in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery so he can get back to contributing on matters of expertise.
 
CD...Good luck on everything! Cardiac rehab...........they'll make you think you are going to have a heart attack!!

Went through that about 15 years ago. After cardiac rehab it was the best I had felt in a long time!
 
Thanks all for the prayers and best wishes. I dodged the big one this time. I thought heart attacks did not happen to 53 year olds (although I really did know better) Staying at home, catching up on some reading and getting lots of sleep. Get to go back to work part time in two weeks and hopefully work back into full swing in 6 weeks. Started cardiac rehab on Friday and get to do that three times a week. Monitored exercise and lifestyle classes. Hopefully have a sucessful program so I don't put the bride through that again.

Thanks all!. I got to go back to work today half time and it felt really good. I really love what I do and it is hard to be away from it. I still have cardiac rehab for the next 5 weeks, but they tell me everything looks good and I should expect a positive recovery. I can feel I am getting stronger each day and that is very encouraging. I believe in the power of prayer and appreciate all those who have been sending positive vibes my way.

No wonder you had a heart attack, you LOVE your work. How weird is THAT?!

Seriously, glad to have you back at the keyboard and code book.

Best wishes for a full recovery.

Peace!
