Hope you bounce back soon (and don't hesitate to use this as a valid reason for your wife to clean tanks  ;D  )

Terrible news!   I ended up sending him a text after I read this earlier.

I talked to Val today (Friday) and Larry was scheduled to go home from the hospital.
Now that he's home and can view the forum he might appreciate reading some nice comments and good wishes from the members here.
So even if you've never met Larry he is one of our fellow forum members so I encourage ANYONE AND EVERYONE   to post a quick hello.
I know after my bad car accident, it was uplifting to read everyone's good wishes...even from the people that had never met me before.

And on a personal note to Larry (and Val), if you need help with the snakes I can make the trip down...but as you know, I draw the line at the rodents!!!!   :P :P :P

Glad to hear he's back home and doing well. Heart attacks no matter how small are a scary experience. Haven't had the opportunity to meet you as of yet Larry but hopefully will get the chance sometime this year at an auction or event. Rest up and get well.

Larry,

Haven't met yet but looking forward to doing so. 

Remember "Rest is your friend" and resting while enjoying your tanks is probably better than any prescription. ;)

Thanks everyone for your well wishes, they are appreciated.

Tony my friend thank you!!

My return home was delayed by one day. Got home just a few hours ago. As for the heart attack all I really want to say about it is according to my cardiologist he has no clue wh I'm still here!!

The main artery going to the right side of my heart was 100% blocked. It too three jolts to get my heart going and twenty minutes to stabalize me to put a stint in the artery.

Spoke to my neurologist as well who can't believe there was no brain damage to due the amount of time with no oxygen to my brain.

Only thing everyone agrees on is the fact I realized I was having a heart attack and got my ass to the hospital before I flatlined!!

Well kind of tired so will talk later.
