    Had to make a pit stop at the hospital last week. Congestive heart failure
    Three words you really don't want to hear!!!!!! Almost checked out Monday, but back home and back at it for a while. Lots of test coming, but actually feeling a lot better than I have in the last couple of months! Thought I better announce it here before the rumours start flying!

    Follow what your doctors tell you. My father has congestive heart failure, and doesn't take care of himself.

    Take care of yourself and do what you need, and you should be feeling better.

    Pete,

    Your condition is definately managable.

    My father lived with it for over 30 yrs BUT, he did take his medications.

    Hang in there and do what you know is right!

    Pete,
    Sorry to hear you're having some issues. Please get a good Doc and follow the advice. My cousin didn't take our extensive family history with cancer serious. She died yesterday. 37 years old and leaves behind a husband and three boys 14, 10, and 6. Get a good Doc and listen to him. Good luck, we'll be thinking about you and praying.

    Do what they say, take care of yourself. There's more prayers for your rapid recovery from this group than you'll ever realize. Interesting that a bunch of old damn "Hotrodders" turn out to be Christians. wonder how that happens!:Do No: Amazing Hmmm?

    Sorry to hear that Pete. Time for a good diet and exersize program. Get that "pumper" back in shape. No more driving that Camaro down the track, from here on out your going to have to run down the track against your competitor. Good luck, Our prayers are with you.

    Pete,
    I really can't say more than whats already been said here.
    Your now among a couple other friends of mine that have been diagnosed with this condition, they pretty much had to do some lifestyle modification's,actually kind of easy, like setting some time aside in the evening to go for a walk, excersize bike, and diet/medication.
    I'll be thinking of you, and hope to see you at Martin.

    Take care,
    Tom
