    Oops... my bad!

    Well anyway google FAFSA, get that started and see what you are eligible for in guaranteed funding. That's where it all begins.

    We had a driver that had by-pass surgery. After his recoup time he was back at the job and I work for ARCO and they don't have any drivers drive that are at risk. If it comes down to you having the same surgery you will feel 10 years younger and you'll be in better shape than when you went in. So I don't think you should have any problems getting your medical card if you fix the problem. So sit back and decide with your family on your treatment and enjoy the drugs while you can!

    Just make sure they use MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, not roto-rooter stuff!

    You got that right. I feel that the cleaner where it expands the veins is only a temp fix. Besides where does all the crap go once the get it unstuck from the lining?

    Curious1, do you have a blocked vein or artery of the heart? If so that's what supplies the heart with oxygen. It's the muscle that needs the oxygen so it can keep pumping the heart. When the do by-pass they will take veins from your leg and replace the blocked part. Well that's where they gets most of the veins anyway. Either way you look at it once they get the blockage cleaned up you're back to better health. You'll be ok but you'll have to change your diet. You'll have to eat everything that doesn't taste good!
