Welcome back bro.
"It does not matter who the master is. It does not matter what the face looks like. The masters are of the Qimen school of qigong/meditation which is related to Zen. The master wears white robes, and the predecessor master wears bright gold robes. The qimen school travels the univers and is not restricted to what paradise they live in. It has many masters" -Serious Harm -

Had a stress test done and had to carry tiny nitro pills with me. During the test the doctor and nurse both asked if I worked out. I told them about my martial arts and that I do work out in my garage and on the job. They noted that possibly because of both my heart was strong and was able to prevent a lot of damage to it during the attack. Don't know if they were shining me on but it made me feel good to think all those hours on the mats made a difference. They also noted that I need to watch what I eat and to stop smoking. I am doing both as of this time.
The doctor said, after the test that there was some blockage. That has been dealt with. Through it all my beloved held my hand and kept me strong.
It was a very scary time for me.
I thank all of you for your words of support. -

Dude, stories like that are why I am sincerely trying to clean up my act. I am far more scared of hospitals and dying then anything else.
Glad to have you back in one piece.There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you. There's no other choice.
