Hi all... I haven't visited the site for some time, but I do have a question. I recently had a Nuclear Exercise Stress test and my doc has recomended that I have a Heart Cath to see what exactly is going on. Can anyone help me with the following findings, as I'm not sure what they mean...

Quick question. I lost a filling this AM and need to get to the dentist ASAP (new experience in tooth sensitivity every time I inhale). Since the dentist is just redoing the filling and will not be digging into my gums or anything, do I really need to pre medicate? Also, I have been...

With all the talk in the news about acetaminophen (Tylenol) lately, I've been wondering, what would we take (those of us who are taking warfarin and have been told not to take aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) if we had a headache or other soreness? I've never really liked Tylenol as it never relieved...

I'm not sure if anyone posted this or not, but surgeons from University Hospitals Case Medical Center will be performing a Freestyle Aortic Root Replacement with replacement of the ascending aorta and hemi-arch under circulatory arrest. You can view it at...

Does anyone know what types of questions that they ask on a pre-employment health questionnaire? I may be getting a job offer either this week or next and I have been told I have to do a drug test and a pre-employment health questionnaire. The drug test I'm not too concerned about (other than...

For those of you who feel that you just can't compete with "normal" people any longer, may I direct you to the young lady from South Africa who lost her leg, yet still competed in a 10k swim in the Olympics. Don't ever say you can't!! You have to want it...

An eccentric billionaire wanted a mural painted on his library wall, so he called an artist. Describing what he wanted, the billionaire said, "I am a history buff, and I would like your interpretation of the last thing that went through Custer's mind before he died. I am going out of town on...

Okay, sorry I haven't posted for some time.... here is your funny pill...... A Catholic Priest, an Indian Doctor, a rich Chinese Businessman and a Scotsman were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers in front of them. The Scot fumed, 'What's with those blokes? We must...

I was watching Essence of Emeril today, and he mentioned that there were 5 essential sauces that you should master. He only talked about the bechamel sauce, so my question to those of you who are serious with cooking, what are the other four sauces? I would think that the red wine beef sauce...

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol &Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be...

I have a tough day ahead of me. I know remembering this will help me and I just wanted to share it with all of you. God bless... The Blessing Of Thorns Sandra felt as low as the heels of her shoes as she pushed against a November gust and the florist shop door. Her life had been easy, like a...

Okay, get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking scar size, not something else. I'm just curious as to who has the biggest scar of open heart. I have two scars, one on my sternum from my valve replacement, and one around my side and onto my back from when they did a CoArt repair when I was...

I have mixed feelings about this. Google has launched their new Google Health website that will let you store your medical records online. Now, I am a bit squeemish when it comes to sharing that information online. Just how secure is it, etc. Microsoft launched something a while back, and I...

An Irish priest is transferred to Texas. Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his...

Well, I have two interviews this week. One is today with a firm that will help find a perm placement for me. The other one is with a large IT company in the Cleveland area. I can use all the prayers I can get today. I need to get employed again so I have health insurance and so I can...

Sorry I haven't posted one in a while, so here you go. Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road when she sees the big bad wolf crouched down behind a log. 'My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf.' The wolf jumps up and runs away. Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees...

Okay, I know as heart patients we should be eating healthy foods, but there are times when I like to indulge. The purpose of this thread is to throw out some really good, but not necessarily healthy recipes. I'll start with the first recipe. This was a favorite as a kid growing up, and us...

I don't know what different people's opinions are of Tony, but regardless of his views, he was a human being just like you and me. I had the privledge of coming across an article that he wrote for Christianity Today recently, and I thought to myself that this applies to all of us. We all are...

If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes. These great questions and answers are from the days when 'Hollywood Squares' game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions...

Ross (or anyone who knows how to make one), any chance we can get one of those buttons for the Google toolbar that brings us directly to the forum? A number of sites have them now, and I would like to see what it would take to get one for VR.com.
