Barry, Glad to have you out of the hospital. I hope the healing process comes along very well for you. The muscle of the heart is different from the muscles of the rest of the body so predicting the precise outcome is more iffy with it. However, it sounds as though you'll be doing very well and soon. You may need to forego those marathon runs for a few month. Hi! 73, CU, Jim W. AMATEUR RADIO: The only fail-safe communications system in the world. ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio is!
