Fantastic.

Very sorry to hear that. Also wondering how the neurologist (isn't that a brain doc?) diagnosed a heart condition. What specific condition were you diagnosed with, and what is the next course of action?

yuck, sorry to hear that. Must be some sort of high speed by-pass given how well you went in your first crit.

Thanks. Migraines (that hospital visit last month in particular) can be linked to it.. meaning the brain is not getting blood that has as much oxygen as it likes. Then it gets angry or something and gives you head aches.

The fact that you were born with neither a sense of humor or a grip on reality also speaks for itself. Thankfully you have amateur master's bicycle racing. For what it's worth.

Either way, it's not a huge deal. Most likely they won't have to fix it (if there is one, have to go back to find out for sure in a month ish) if the hole is small enough, and if they do have to fix it, it's not open heart surgery or anything. They stick a catheter in your hip (???) and go to your heart and open an umbrella thing. Not painful apparently and without anesthetic.

Either way it is kinda scary. I hate medical stuff. At least it's not life threatening or with any impact on life other than head aches anyway.


Haha. She said it's fine to keep biking and stuff, just no rock climbing. What a shame.

Why does someone have pictures of gsteinb on file to post in this stupid thread? Weird.

I don't party, but for that matter neither those pcad. I suppose not sucking at something the consumes all your lives makes me overly serious. Mostly I'm just retired and have time to ride, and am not a fat slob. Sucks for you guys.
