Hey everyone, I thought I'd give an update on myself. I've been out of commission for awhile. Last September I visited my doctor because I had chest pains. After an x-ray and an angiogram I was informed that I had only a couple of weeks to live because of blocked arteries around my heart, and that my legs were also in very bad shape. I had emergency triple bypass surgery that week. It saved my life. Unfortunately, the incisions where they took arteries from my legs to replace the ones around my heat became infected with cellulitis and opened up again. I could barely walk around the house while these wee healing. A byproduct of this was that my legs swelled up a lot and this has caused the skin on my shins to become very sensitive and even the smallest touch would cause open wounds on my shins, and they developed a staph infection. I am happy to report that this latest episode is healing nicely, and soon I will no longer need any medical care. I think the good Lord for watching over me during all this. The circulation in my legs has also improved a lot. I can walk again for longer periods every week.I am back into gut punching, although chest punching is off limits for a little while yet. Hopefully, I will be posting more videos soon. Thanks for reading
