To all,
I have had a heart attack finally. I always told everyone I was scheduled
to die by 75 and I have beat the odds. I walked into the ER at our local h
ospital, explained the situation and told them I was a pilot and not just a
ny stint would do and that a artery blockage runs=85.. At that point, they
knocked me out and when I awoke, I was told they saved my life, where as I
informed them, I walked in here and told you what I was experiencing and y
ou never gave me a chance to get the right treatment. Now you=92ve put a n
on approved stint into an artery that is a hereditary blockage and killed m
y business and flying career. Needless to say a bit of an adversarial clim
ate ensued for a short while. I=92m not sure why? The blood thinners gave
me bleeding from both ends and that was a pain in the nose and arse. Stopp
ing the bleeding was in a word, BRUTAL.
Of Course AME extraordinaire Dr. Ira Rampil, researched my case and assured
me that provided I take drugs for the rest of my life to compensate for th
e type stint installed, I will be able to get back on flying status in six
months or so provided we supply a ton of paperwork and I am a good boy and
don=92t over do it. To be expected, and I am not concerned because I am ve
ry good at bureaucratic paperwork, the good boy, Anita is working on.
I am fine now, with no heart damage, as strong as ever, bored to tears, wel
l behind and now that I am away from the blunt force trauma doctors of a no
rmal hospital, am seeing specialists and couldn=92t be happier with my trea
tment to work around my now minor issues. Keep in mind, they only practice
medicine in hospitals, take some advice and get some specialists lined up
with your normal physical especially if you are concerned about heart attac
ks. I was too slow in preparing for my particular problem as my EKG and sc
ans were all fine in the past.
Anita and I am still planning on Sun =91n Fun from April 4-9 on site N-55 a
s last year featuring Airmaster Propellers. The Europa Club will be well r
epresented by Steve Pitt and Paul Mansfield. We all will enjoy seeing thos
e of you who can make it down for some Fun in the Sun.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly
