Re: Instructor in Dallas TX for new U300 owner? Reply #21 – May 11, 2019, 08:42:46 pm I had several people say they could take care of my coach, but I had a lot of difficulty. The person who took care of it had a tough time finding a place to park it and I think a battery may have been ruined by running it dead while parked in a field. I won't know for sure until I get back to the coach. In the grand scheme of things a battery doesn't cost much and it was a couple of years old. The main thing I was worried about was the refrigerator because I just put a new cooling unit in it the other day. The way it happened, the cardiologist told me I was about to die and I needed to go to the emergency room right away. I had to leave the campground I was in that night and park my coach in a friend's driveway. It had to be moved a few days later after I was in the hospital, which is how it got parked out in a field. I don't even know where my motorcycle is... maybe I need to ask? ...If I had one day to prepare I could have put the coach somewhere safe and then gone to the hospital. I'll start picking up the pieces after I get out of the hospital. Quote Selected
Re: Instructor in Dallas TX for new U300 owner? Reply #22 – May 12, 2019, 11:08:45 am Scott you are way ahead if they can perform with a cath instead of splitting your chest open. That hurts like hell! Some caths are inserted through groin and some can be done through your wrist. I have had both ways done. Wrist much better. Groin you have to lay flat about 8 hrs after procedure so you don't blow out the hole clot. But either way although it is a serious procedure, So many are performed that it is routine now. If you did not suffer a actual heart attack you are really in a good position because you have no damage to the muscle. Keep us posted and more important,keep thinking Positive!!!@ Quote Selected
Re: Instructor in Dallas TX for new U300 owner? Reply #23 – May 12, 2019, 01:11:45 pm Don't sweat the battery. It may take overnight before it starts taking electrons at a measurable rate, but rest assured that it will.You've done the difficult part so far, that is to say, waking up alive. The recovery goes quickly from here on out. Quote Selected
Re: Instructor in Dallas TX for new U300 owner? Reply #24 – May 12, 2019, 03:20:47 pm I won't have the procedure until Friday. I didn't have a heart attack and I'm not at elevated risk of heart attack. I don't have any plaque / cholesterol blockages. They're only replacing one valve. I have radiation damage to my heart from cancer treatments when I was a kid. This is where I got my childhood phobia of surgery. It's a long and difficult story to tell. Your prayers for courage would be much appreciated. I'm battling all the normal fear in addition to my irrational fear from childhood. I know a phobia isn't real, it's all in my head, there isn't any cure for it, I have to face it and not give in. On the outside I'm a grown man but on the inside I'm that terrified kid again... I was just too young to handle that amount of fear and it affected me for life. Quote Selected
Re: Instructor in Dallas TX for new U300 owner? Reply #25 – May 12, 2019, 08:52:50 pm You sound like me and my first "Adult" visit to a Dentist. I had a HORRIFIC experience as a 5 year old, with an old fashioned Dentist, He hurt me, slapped me, I cried, did not want to see another Dentist ever. As a young adult found a fantastic modern Dentist who made a world of difference. He has been my Dentist for almost 44 years, he is now in his late 80's working 3 days a week, and has the same concerns, passion, and skills, that he had 45 years ago...... Quote Selected
