Wishing you a speedy recovery! That’s a lot to go through. You’ve given some great advice and I hope it helps and encourages others to make lifestyle changes.

Having to worry in such a big way over stupid money and your home on top of all the worries over your health.. that's so bad.  I guess I can say I know some of how it feels, but in a light version. You want to focus on your health only, on staying alive, recovering, but you can't because of bills. I wish I could do anything for you in that regard.
Still hoping for a good recovery for you and that the attacks stop coming..

Friday morning 5/24/24 at 7:30 am while at work I started feeling lots of chest pain and thought it might be heartburn so I tried to get my day going. Within a few minutes I started feeling sweaty and the pain got worse. I have been thru this before so I went in to my Bosses office and sat down and told him I couldn't do my job the way I was feeling because it wasn't safe. about 2 minutes later I asked him to please call 911 and I took a nitro tab and removed my dress shirt. "Didn't want it cut off me". Lucky for me the Fire Department is only about 10 blocks straight down the street and before he was off the phone we could hear the sirens. The Paramedics ran a tape on me and told me I was having a Massive Heart Attack and transported me the 1/2 mile to the hospital ER where I stayed for about 10 minutes. Time is crucial in this sort of shit. I was in the Operating room is less than 20 minutes from the 911 call and the Dr.'s spent the next 2.5 hours working on bring me back. From what I have learned so far I had a "Plaque Rupture" in my Aorta meaning the plaque rupture the blood vessel wall and caused a major blockage to the main flow of blood to my heart and also sent clots into the lower chamber. They were able to put in a Stent and break up most of the clots while in the Cath Lab without having to cut open my chest. I sent the next 24 hrs. in ICU because they had to give me a Heparin IV to quickly thin my blood so the clots would break up rather then travel to my brain and cause a Stroke. The next 2 days were in CICU to monitor my recovery. Needless to say my Wife was frantic about seeing me like this and in much worse shape then before during my previous attacks. Good news is both my other Stents are just fine but this new one is in a major area. I had quit smoking cigs 14 months ago because of the last one but my body just makes plaque regardless of what I eat or do. I am now home where I am much more comfortable and with the love of my life and if I keep getting better I can return to  work within 14 days or so? However it is hard to keep my stress level down when all I can think about is the medical bills that will start arriving soon and the money I am not making while at home resting. The thought of us losing our home among other things is driving me crazy right now. I would rather leave this earth with her having our home and some savings than to be here and her become homeless. If you smoke please stop, if you eat poorly please try to eat better and if you don't exercise at least try to walk 30 minutes a day. Do this not for yourself "it will help you" but do it for those who love you and cherish you. Tell those you love those words as often as possible because you never know what your final words to them might be or when you might not come home from work. Peace and LOVE to you all.

Sounds crazy.
But now you'll have access to the really good drugs.

Today’s Weed’s 67th Birthday so I decided I’d make a Rhubarb cake with cinnamon sugar topping. Delicious served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I’m adding 2 pictures one of the actual cake straight out of the oven but the plate with the ice cream is from last years bake.
 

After having carefully watched the stream, I have come to the conclusion that he is indeed a hacker. 🤪

My wife and I had a fantastic weekend out on the boat with family and friends.
But Monday was for honoring and remembering those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom.  Always remember....

These are Lebanese Fatayer. It’s really a Lebanese version of a samosa I assume. The pastry in these ones are made with flour and baking soda or a yeastdough.
We make them with ground beef onions, canned tomato, mixed spice, all spice, salt, pepper , cumin, cinnamon and mint. 
We also make vegetarian version. The filling is spinach, onions all the spices above and lemon juice delicious. 
We brush them Oil then bake them. My cousin made these he uses the baking sofa bread he oils them after baking  I use yeast bread oil before baking 

that looks really good makes me wanna get some lol

That looks fantastic. I absolutely love Thai food. You did a great job. Looks restaurant quality, sure the taste is as well. 

Tum Yum is a fantastic base for soups as well. Huge Tum Yum fan. 

OK I will start.  After researching lots of different recipes in search of a great homemade coconut chicken Thai soup  (Tom Kha Gai), I kinda combined three different recipes and added some other things, trying to get that specific flavor, texture and look I love... SUCCESS!!!   But... I did not write it down oops...  But here is a photo.  I will be working on the recipe maybe will include it here once finished.

Cocoa powder can add a nice flavor, too.

I've eaten chili in Cincinnati - does that count??   

YIKES!  OK so, you all are in shock and rightly so, but nowadays there are wonderful treatments to kick cancer's butt!  My father in law (stubborn man who never went to doctors)  had all the symptoms of colon cancer and only went to dr when he literally could not poop anymore.  Initial doctor said "Oh, too far advanced, you have about 3 months, say your goodbyes."  Flash forward 5 years, he was still alive and walking and living his life, yes, it had altered and had to have a bag at that point attached to his side (eww) but he waited till way longer than normal nowadays.  They did surgery and some radiation in strategic areas, it had metastasized to everywhere by the time he went to any doctor about it, so sad but he could have prevented his situation imho.   That was hmmm 20 or so years ago.  THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN.  Immunotherapies, better targeted radiation equipment and techniques...
I met a lovely women in her early 40's who was healthy and ate well enough, who much to her surprise was diagnosed with colon cancer stage 4!  By the time I met her, she had undergone all the necessary treatments and such and was back to living a normal life!  So do not despair!  Be sympathetic and helpful, but be very positive and hopeful!    
 
A biopsy will help them determine how to treat this.
PD-1 inhibitors
Pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), and Dostarlimb (Jemperli) are drugs that target PD-1, a protein on immune system cells called T cells that normally help keep these cells from attacking other cells in the body. By blocking PD-1, these drugs boost the immune response against colorectal cancer cells. They are only given if the tumor has had findings of dMMR or MSI-H.
Pembrolizumab can be given alone. It is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 or 6 weeks.
Nivolumab can be given alone or with ipilimumab (see below). It is typically given by itself as an IV infusion every 2 or 4 weeks. If it is used along with ipilimumab, then it is typically given every 3 weeks.
Dostarlimab can be given alone. It is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks for 4 treatments, and then given at a higher dose every 6 weeks. This drug is not approved specifically to treat colorectal cancer at this time. It is approved to treat other types of cancer, but doctors can prescribe it off-label for colorectal cancer. Still, it’s important to check with your insurance provider before getting this drug to make sure it is covered.
CTLA-4 inhibitor
Ipilimumab (Yervoy) is another drug that boosts the immune response, but it has a different target. It blocks CTLA-4, another protein on T cells that normally helps keep them in check.
This drug can be used along with nivolumab (Opdivo) to treat colorectal cancer, but it’s not used alone. It is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion, usually once every 3 weeks for 4 treatments.
For people with either early- or advanced-stage colorectal cancer, immunotherapy is now a cornerstone of treatment if the tumor has findings of dMMR (deficient mismatch repair) or MSI-H (microsatellite instability-high).
