Title: Hello old friends!
Post by Dave_W on Feb 17^th, 2009 at 6:13pm

Well, about 2-1/2 years ago I had cardiac bypass surgery, and the clusters came to an abrupt end. Been feeling FINE!!! Until about 3 weeks ago, that is... They're baaa-aaack...

Got my O2, got my verapamil, can't do the imitrex anymore though -- but I thought I'd get back on the board and say I'm with ya again. Many apologies for the long absence.

Pain free days, all! Wish me some back.

LYG,

Goober Dave

Well clearly the surgery was a success you're here!! Congrats on that. Damned sorry the beast never seems to lose addresses.....he wanders for a while but sadly, :'(, always seems to find his way back.

Glad you got the 02 at the ready. Welcome home.

Good to see you again hangin' out on the porch, Dave. Things being well for you since last visiting is good to hear, too. Always a piece of rail to lean on, chair to stretch in, or floorboards to creak just mingling.

Hope your experience and readiness keeps you in spirits. :)

That's right, folks, we'll always have Nashville, eh?

Thanks Kevin -- glad you're around too, and where would any of us be without Jonny? You too, Joe!

I'll be watching...

Hi, Dave and welcome back. A lot of people here cannot take the Triptans for the same exact reason. Ask your Dr. about Zyprexa.

Welcome back, Dave! Good to see you again!

Sorry the beast found you, but at least you had a bit of a break.

Glad to see you have your oxygen and ready to battle the beast. You might want to take a look at the oxygen info tab, on the left side of your screen, to see what is new in using the oxygen weapon. There have been some refinements to the process that may help you to abort the hit quicker.

Good luck, and grab a chair ...

Chuck
