At it again!

Well I have kept the fire turned right down and taken things easy since Sept 13 this year but all is not as it seems. I have to go for another angiogram as my cardiologist I went to for the first time this Wednesday is not happy.
And has scheduled me for the procedure 17th Dec as I should not still be in pain, breathless plus she was p*ssed they did not investigate the lower blockage I have in the left side descending artery so she is going to have a gehko at that one. She is very good gave me a fair bit of curry for procrastinating with my wife about going to the ED.
So there we have it guys I damped down the flames so I was not CINDERS but just me idling along.

Gotta tell you this one my poor bloody V4S Ducati is in the shop with a busted mirror and panel damage all because of poorly laid hot mix (Ashpalt) at our local bowser.
Long story short missed the good old stuff by 2/3rds of a foot on the stand turned away started to walk to pay and crash, they accepted 100% of the blame the owner laid the hot mix.:banghead:
It was crap you could push your finger through it anyway no V4 for now and a $5,000+ Aud repair bill for their insurance, funny thing is I did not go off at the owner must be getting old.
Merry xmas & New Years to you all anyway from CINDERS Mrs CINDERS was more devo'ed than me over the bike she just knows how I dote on all my bikes Oh! and her as well?:eek:

Gotta get that dissolved...take care with that.

All the Best Ron! Take care and take all the time and care you need.
Next season, as a brand new kid, back on the V4S!

Merry Christmas to you and your wife too!

Wishing you a speedy recovery Cinders. Take it easy after your Op'!

Try the DIY bypass; it doesn't involve getting opened up like an autopsy, nor the same risk of needing one. ;)

Not expensive, not painful, not difficult - what have you got to lose? (Not moment, I suggest!)

Same applies to most of us too.

Thanks guys I feel its an all care no responsibility world the first one they did they gave me the paperwork 5 minutes before I was wheeled out to the op table did not have even the time to read anything of the pro's & con's it was here sign this and away you go.
Yes Jim the left one is a concern it is low down thankfully and not the widow maker that my older brother suffered when he was 43 but still a concern I have a gut feeling that I am in good hands as this lady came recommended by Fiona Stanley Hospital high praise indeed for her dedication, knowledge and skill.
Thanks Ovidio pity we are not closer together you could have a crack at the V4S Panigale I am having the full Akropovic Ti exhaust fitted with up mapping to racing EVO and a sprint air filter to give me 226 BHP at the crank so probably put about 208 - 210 RWHP for a 195 Kg wet bike Awesomness!!!!!!

30three thanks bloke

Interesting reading I agree in modern society we are losing our edge for being resilient I put it down to not enough black sand consumption as a kid playing Vic Morrow out the back with a bucket full of marbles and plastic soldiers but always the GI's won over those pesky grey ones......:thup:

Well, glad to hear you are still ok. Hope all goes well for you. Perhaps, given that you are still having pain, shortness of breath, and have a persistently blocked artery, it is for the best you didn't "go off" on the owner about the asphalt. You might have ended up lying down on the pavement next to your broken Ducati.......

Hope you're back on that bike soon, Cinders! 20 years ago, I had a Hayabusa (wallpaper) on my computer screen at work - the younger guys really liked it. Here's a link to a Superbike article you guys might like. - Bob

But, as a motorcycle rider, the important thing is that vibe... not the hp, the vibe.
I feel it now with an apparently slow, fat, Guzzi California 1400. But when she roars...
Aaaaaaaahhhrghhhh:madsmile:

All the best to you Cinders.

Update ~ Well they came ~ inserted some juice into me ~ on the slab ~ suffered some flash backs from the Sept 13 event:( ~ bit of ouch & could feel the wire going through my radial artery near my elbow bit yucky ~ my cardiologist put another stent in on the left side blockage so I now have 2 pieces of metal in my heart. Not able to ride for about 4 days as it would be a bit silly if I popped my radial artery now wouldn't it!

So I am recovering my wrist is caning from the insertion of the wire but apart from that I am still vertical and breathing so happy to be alive enjoying the web page here with friends and hopefully get my V4 back soon but think thats going to be a long haul trying to get a mirror from Italy the bike shops ordered it but Covids done the deed on all of our countries.
Anyway chaps thats it in a nutshell not a nice journey I hate hospitals and needles even more please look after yourselves and heed any warning signs your not a sook going to the Dr's your being smart my own stupid stubborness could have had a very different outcome, I mean fancy arguing with your wife about going to the ED whilst your in the midst of a heat attack only a twaddle like me would tellya no wonder the troops called me CINDERS.(A really burnt dude?)
Take care all.......

:lol::lol::lol:
You're in good spirit, that's important!
Take care and enjoy the festivities.

Glass of the finest Scotch Whisky when you are sorted............thats my tipple anyway.
Have a good one mate, stay safe ;)

You'll probably find that you feel like a "new man" once you've recovered from the procedure, CINDERS. It's amazing what can be done nowadays.

"Could be worse, ya could be a cinda"!

Enjoy your low-fat, gluten-free, sugarless, no-booze Christmas! :cheers:

After all, you've earned it! :D

Seriously though, time to get to work on fixing the old bod. Listen to Dr. Gundrey, he put zippers up the middle of thousands of people and when someone like that turns his back on surgery and says diet and the gut is where it begins and ends, we ought to at least listen, think and perhaps give it a try - if we think our lives are worth that little effort?

This place is quiet enough as it is - we can't afford to lose ya. :cool:

I remember a few years ago I had to have "the camera" up me and "down me", starting with the top end first. The doctor said "Would you like to watch the procedure on the television?"! I replied "NO, I DO NOT"! Then he went on about the "various pain relief options" and I replied that I wanted "the maximum possible pain relief because I have a very low pain threshold when it's myself". It still felt like having a broom handle pushed down my throat when he put the camera down.

A low pain threshold saves you a lot of pain. I have the opposite problem, and am also very refractory to anesthetics.
I had only two surgeries, one for a badly broken thumb, needing screws and surgery, and one for tonsils at age 38.
First time, I told them all they were doing, until they injected something in my IV and I just passed away.
Second time, after pumping the standard dose into me, I was awake like before. So they just “killed me” again by IV.
Dentist is a torture...
I wish I had a lower pain threshold...

Think about this:

Do I have a low pain threshold?
Imagine someone who rarely feels pain (high threshold) but then has a major injury. Because they have little experience dealing with pain, their tolerance might be low. Meanwhile, someone who is in pain all the time (low threshold) may be able to function even at high pain levels if a major injury were to occur.

It all sorta comes down to Experience to rate Tolerance. And either of the two comes from a event causing Pain.
I've had 13 Orthopedic surgeries and from those and other misc injuries I've learned one thing. Being around someone complaining about their Pain, will only make you feel worse :D.
The trick is to just avoid people that aren't smiling :thup:

Cinders,
You take it easy, rest up, read up. Listen to Mrs. Cinders and Enjoy your Holiday !
You'll be back to :dancingbanana::dancingbanana: in no time. Most of us are to old to be in a hurry unless we have 2 or 4 wheels under us.
The Wife and I are having plans drawn up for our customized Hover Rounds !

To All A Merry Christmas :cheers:

Charlie

I have this sort of thing...because of regular back injuries...spine...my body has turned down my pain receptors. This was something told me by doctors not my own observations. So I don't feel pain the same way others do, can touch hot things without feeling it. It also takes away other sensations though so it's not that handy.

It's easier to do what the casual observer says in this case. Just do it.
