Hey everyone! So I am home now and have a bunch of meds that I have been prescribed to help my heart.

Apparently I am very weird. I went to my Echocardiogram appointment on Thursday (the start of this little adventure in WTF which immediatly led them to doing an EKG. From there the EKG the cardiologist came in and said that my ejection fraction, which should be around 50-70 was 7. Yeah, not good at all. The words that the cardiologist used were “You should be bed ridden and I have no idea how you are presenting as well as you are”.

He was even more surprised that I was going up and down stairs no problem, had done a aerobic and weight workout that morning no problem, and wasn’t feeling any sort of discomfort. So from there it was off to a hospital room and the next day they did a procedure to run a line in my heart to look for blockages and see if a stint was needed. What came out of that was that one artery was 100% blocked and the others were fine. Still no idea why I am doing so well though. Guess I am weird.

So, medications were prescribed and then observation over the weekend to see how I was doing. My ejection fraction went up the next day to 18 and my pulse and heart rate dropped, which is good. After that it was just being poked and prodded every few hours to make sure everything was working until the released me. Now I have follow up visits, follow up EKGs and ECGs to see how everything is going and if they need to do a stint later or if I can just get by with my med and diet.

Thank you everyone for the prayers. I thank you and thank God for supporting me through this and carrying me through. Bless all of you and I will get back to doing what I do ASAP. Doctor has cleared me to do whatever I feel like doing and to just tone down the work outs for a while.

I messed up and didn’t save the Lance Leader file to the folder. That has been corrected, so you can now download it from your account if you purchased it or if you got it as part of your membership.

My apologies

I am just going to say this week was freaking LONG! How does that happen that time just drags by even while I don’t have enough of it. At my regular job I had all kinds of stuff hit the fan, including an issue that it looks like I am going to have to go back to the client and apologize for (even though it wasn’t my fault I am the guy in charge so….) and at the part time one it was like tweeker central on Friday.

Now I am finishing the Rook, finally, got all the parts versions done and I am making the posed models for the Mech Jock setup. Had a few hiccups with the modeling and exporting, but I am getting into a rhythm with the new process now, so that is helping.

I hope you all like the new Lance Leader parts modeling, it does take a little more time but I think it’s worth it. All I have left is to pose the last models and then do the supports. Should be done by tomorrow.

Well, I have been having a lot of fun this weekend. Friday I got heat exhaustion and with that I started having vision problems to go with everything else. My right eye started having a narrow range of vision so I wasn’t having any peripheral vision at all. That was some scary shit.

It has been resolving but for three days I have had a splitting headache that was right behind my eye and didn’t matter what I did it just kept throbbing.

All that is a long way to say that I was trying to get the Rook done but I’m not ten feet tall and bullet proof anymore. I seems to have become a mortal somehow.

I’m getting back on it now and finishing up other small things that have been requested. I am sorry for the delays but I am back on top of things.
