I thought this might be the last picture ever taken of me alive, and was sure wishing I'd worn a better hat.
AndthatthismightbethelastpictureIevertake800x600_zps718d782c.jpg

And I thought this might be the last picture I ever took. I told the Kosmo Kid and Sunflower, that if death caught up to me not to worry.
It was a beautiful morning, I was doing what I like to do, my peace was made with God, and my boots were on my feet. What better
way to go out? Long story short: I went to the Gordon Hospital emergency room Saturday afternoon. They flew me to the Rapid City
hospital Saturday evening. Early Sunday afternoon, Dr. Durr and his associates operated and put a stent in my L.A.D. artery
through a little bitty hole in my wrist. After staying in the hospital Sunday evening for observation, I was dismissed Monday at noon.
I felt fine immediately after the operation, and now life is pretty much back to normal. It always impresses me as to all of the great
people involved in the medical profession, in all of the area hospitals, and their high degree of competency. We are truly blessed.

Can you do this?
 
Mercy Soap. A stent. Is this fallout from West Nile? Sure glad you went to the Dr and he could get you fixed. Those grandbabies and family need you.
:heart: :wink:
 
I've heard it said that close calls like that make us look after ourselves better in our "old age" Soap. Glad you are still around to share.
 
You might be one of the few people who would take a picture of themselves having chest pains! I can't believe how green it is there, and your 'rough country' doesn't look to rough to us :wink: Congrats on the new grandbaby!
 
You are a very dedicated photographer to take an "in case I don't make it" selfie! Glad your procedure went so well.
 
I thought this might be the last picture of me, but instead it turned out to be the last picture ever taken of my dad. He seemed healthy and his usual self that evening, but died in the hospital just nine days later.
