I'm back

Hi I’m back.
For any one who might have wondered where I’d disappeared too.
I had a heart attack last Wednesday, and triple bypass on Friday.
Got to come home yesterday.
On the plus side no cigarettes since Wednesday and no cravings so far.
Can’t do any pushing, pulling, driveling or lifting anything over 5 Lbs for 4 weeks.
That sucks, but this too shall pass.
Have been having some real vivid dreams, On was being drawn, colored and animated while I watched.
I also dreamt the Devi had invented a new pedal (ok I was goon a week so its possible).
I wish I could remember the details, because it was completely different from any thing else she’s made. All I can remember is it had lots of knobs and switches that some how knew how to change them selves as you played, would even completely change for every song.
Keith

OMG x 1000000.
Great to have you back with the update. Sounds like things went ok?
The pedal you described sounds like something I'd love..lots of remote control via CV inputs maybe.
Heal up and rest up and welcome back again.

dang dude, you showed that heart of yours who's boss.
Want really vivid dreams? Take melatonin supplements before bed. 1 or 2 mg will send your unconscious mind into a frenzy of wonder. You can get them at vitamin stores.
But again the main point here is that you're okay.

I’m getting around pretty good. Finally had to quit the totally decaf thing. The side effects of a couple of meds, lack of concentration, drowsiness, etc got to me.
Could barely read the forum, much less post.
Much better back on real coffee. Well at least for part of the day. I can actually put two sentences together and make sense.
Now just have to get past 2 more weeks of lifting etc restrictions. It sucks, can’t even make noise, because my basses and guitars weigh too much.
Oh well this too shall pass.
Most of the pain has been gone; just have that dull ache and itchy thing going on.
Luckily I only get an occasional desire for a smoke, but it never lasts more than a minute of so. What I really have is a huge craving for a chocolate frosted, raised cake Duncan Doughnut.
Yes I can see it and smell it.
Hmm it’s 1.3 miles from my house to Duncan Doughnuts, and if I walk.
I’d probably just get run over while trying to cross 2 major roads.

I said it to Aen in another thread:
Quitting cigarettes makes your brain silly for sweets. Go get zinc and take them regularly
Good luck and happy rainbow hugs
