OT: I'm sorry to report...

I'm sorry to report...

Had my cardiac nuclear imaging test this morning.

While on the treadmill they gave me an IV to dilate my blood vessels.

Almost dropped me to my knees, from shortness of breath, but I recovered.

But it left me wondering, "Oh crap, the end is in sight"

The Doctor's office just called, "Your heart is in great shape, good circulation, good pumping action".

So I'm sorry to report that it looks like I'll still be around for some time to needle the narcissistically ignorant ;-) ...Jim Thompson

But -- will you ever tell us how your boost converter adventure ended? (other than in a flame war -- all your threads end up there).

So his heart is okay. I'm waiting for the neurologist's report - which will probably be along the lines of "needs more exercise".

Sure. It's going forth as an adventure in finding an inductor that will physically fit. My personal suspicion is it may have to be a resonant converter to meet the power/space requirements. ...Jim Thompson

Well, why are geezers posting about their health problems in an electronics design group?

There's the pot calling the kettle black. Only 3 days ago you did another of your OT Andy Rooney impressions "Did you ever notice how sensitive you are to how much something weighs?" Or have you forgotten already? Art

That was a general comment on the way human brains work, and on what information we store about objects. It didn't include my personal medical history. It did invoke discussion.

I had triple bypass surgery and later asked if they would put me on a treadmill to see how I was doing. But they declined saying it might create an issue that would need investigation, and so I would have to wait for symptoms to appear. So far, so good at 8 years. Valuable resources have to be conserved.
