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
hospital, explained the situation and told them I was a pilot and not just
any stint would do and that a artery blockage runs... 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
you never gave me a chance to get the right treatment.  Now you've put a non
approved stint into an artery that is a hereditary blockage and killed my
business and flying career.  Needless to say a bit of an adversarial climate
ensued for a short while. I'm not sure why?  The blood thinners gave me
bleeding from both ends and that was a pain in the nose and arse.  Stopping
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 the
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't over do it.  To be expected, and I am not concerned because I am very
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, well
behind and now that I am away from the blunt force trauma doctors of a
normal hospital, am seeing specialists and couldn't be happier with my
treatment 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 attacks.  I was too slow in preparing for my particular problem as my
EKG and scans were all fine in the past.


Anita and I am still planning on Sun 'n Fun from April 4-9 on site N-55 as
last year featuring Airmaster Propellers.  The Europa Club will be well
represented by Steve Pitt and Paul Mansfield.  We all will enjoy seeing
those of you who can make it down for some Fun in the Sun.


Best Regards,

Bud Yerly
