How I celebrated my 68th birthday!
Hello my VDF family!
To celebrate my 68th birthday on Wednesday, March 16th, my girlfriend and I had dinner reservations at the Mission Inn Restaurant in Riverside, CA. Instead, I spent the next two nights in the hospital for an “unprovoked pulmonary embolism”. I’m here to report that my “episode” had a happy ending and I was discharged Friday afternoon. I’m grateful that my girlfriend, an RN, recognized the symptoms when I said I wasn’t feeling well, with a “tight chest” and pain that radiated to my back below my left shoulder blade. We were already in downtown Riverside and the hospital was only 10 blocks away. Had I been by myself, I would have thought it was a pulled muscle and would have just driven home to relax! Just wanted to relate my experience to everyone to never take chest pain for granted!! -Mark

We can't do this here without you Mark!
I'm thankful you had a RN for a girlfriend. Please take care and I hope you are over this soon! -Kurt

I'm glad you're ok, it sure pays to have a girlfriend that's an RN!
I hope you enjoy the Premier snare.
