Phil, is this something a pacemaker/defibrillator can help? Hope they get this problem resolved. Praying for you and your wife.
Hi Tracy,

I wish it was that simple...but a pacemaker is not a solution. It appears my heart is loaded with blood clots and It is just a matter of time before I have a sever stroke. Good that the clot busting drugs are being used but talk about pricey! Yikes!!! I had a engineer that was in my department....similar condition.... He did not make it.... But times are different now an hopefully they have better tools in the toolbox... As they say....stay tuned... Hospital is my next stop on Thursday but for how long is undetermined. I hope it is in and out... Doc is not optimistic about that though....

Best,
Phil

Hi Folks,

Thanks for the kind thoughts and well wishes....This is very much appreciated....That said, these forums are about the 5G Ranger and this is off track from that.... I was just going to delete above, but it was helpful to me to just put words down in paper in a way. Enough of this for now.... Back to the task at hand....5G Ranger.....:)

Best,
Phil

No way I'm waiting another 3 years for a Bronco while non reservation holders are out driving theirs. Besides I don't want to end up like this one. o_O I'd rather the Jeep catch fire and collect the insurance money. lol ?

I just picked up the paper work from my Service Advisor. "Tech says he can not replicate". He wants me to drive it, and comes back if it happens again.

Usually after the first page or two once the main topics been answered it usually takes off from there. ?

There is the "off topic". section down below. I wish that it would show up on the top of the page like the rest under latest posts. Most people forget it's down there, myself included. ✋

Sounds like you may have had AF at some time. Modern anticoagulants are much better than the rat poison of yesterday and tPA drugs are really effective. My heartfelt wishes for a good outcome, go out to you and your family.
