Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

With Peter held in such high regard here (as usual) his spirits can help but be lifted.  With laughter being the best medicine, a few of these posts should have him better in no time! HA

Allow me to add my good thoughts and wishes for speedy recovery for Peter L as well. His excellence and dedication to his craft at Soundsmith over the many years makes him a real treasure.  We are all nothing without our good health.

Peter' all the best from all Australian audio.

Best place to be is HOME... Thank God.. Besides I bought a CART.. Now send it.. LOL
Get better.. Eat your veggies... CLOT are no fun..

Last year May 19, 2020 0550 hours I wake up my stomach is on FIRE.. Never felt anything like it..

911.. BAMB..

LOL I get hauled off to the hospital in and ambulance, I wind up at the ER, they tell me I’m having a heart attack. They inject me with dye. The WHOLE time my stomach feels like someone is pouring boiling oil down my throat. They see an obstruction (occlusion I think is what the called it), I HAVE A CLOT. The can’t do the work because the doctor is BOOKED straight through until the next morning. ALL night I go through episode after episode.
3 wonderful nurses stayed with me ALL NIGHT.. ALL NIGHT.. Sent straight from GOD...

I look like something out of Hell Raiser.. All the pins stickin out.. Heparin drip..

Huge bruise on the inside of my thigh.. Fence post whacked me two days before.. Where the clot came from.

The next day the stent was installed.

10 week go by 16 heart attacks later, a second stent is installed..

OOPS missed one.. YUP.. Ask MC I was scared to death. I was dying.
He propped my "feeling sorry for my stupid self up" and said.. "Your gonna be all right, your gonna be fine"..

Well, I was, and the moral of the story is.. 51 hours from the time I left my house to the time I got home.. 81,000.00 US dollars.. oh 20 dollar taxi fair to get back home.. I’m the only driver now..

1588.00 per hour.

A heavy duty master mechanic on his best day might make 1500.00 for 16-18 hours of nothing BUT blood and sand.

I’d have paid 5 time that for that 10 weeks of hell though.. OOPS missed one... That only cost another 15,000.00. Out patient.. 16 heart attacks.. LOL out patient.. Even the doctor gave me a high five.. Said I was tough... Like I had a choice...:-) Of course we didn’t know that until AFTER and a VERY close read of a week long EKG they had me on at home.. They sent the taxi for that one.. save the ambulance ride.. I kid you not.. 6K for an ambulance ride now..

I’m glad I have a sense of humor.. :-)

Life is an expensive project.
