Glad to be back, over the last decade my health has been in steady decline, and a week and a half ago I was hit with another blood clot. This time was a really bad one, not that any are ever good, it took me by surprise, my first clot I felt coming on, this one gave me no indication, both happened in the same area of my left arm.
It took a long time to get an ambulance to my house, and by the time I got to the hospital, and my doctor saw me, there was a good chance I might lose my arm. This would be my 20th surgery in ten years. Having lost my left leg in 2005, I did`nt relish the thought of losing my left arm.
In recovery I awoke, and found I still had a left arm, and could feel my fingertips, as well as grip with my hand. I was still not out of the woods as yet, the next few days in the hosp. would yeld results, and set adjustment of my medications. I don`t want to chew your ears off, just wanted to let you know, that when I`m up to par I`ll finish my campaign reports if there`s still interest. Got to rest up a little, all you guys take care.

Praying for you Puts.
I hope you will get better and keep usinformed.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Thanks for all your prayers, and best wish`s guys, won`t be doing any flying for awhile till I get these stainless steel clamps removed, and see how my arm feels afterward. I`ve enjoyed all you guys campaign reports, and vids, makes me long to get back into action. Puts

Rise, Ivan, Rise! Be the Phoenix! It can be done, bro'. I'm a cancer survivor, so I've been there. Eight years now and soaring above the ashes.
Stay well.

That`s great news Plainsman. That was my first medical problem, cancer 10 yrs. ago, survived that to have all these cardio-vascular probs, not a quitter. Puts

A little update, I`m feeling stronger, and will get these staples removed Nov.3rd if all goes well. I`ll try and get some flying in then, I`m taking this time to do an overhaul of my computer. Puts

That`s great news Plainsman. That was my first medical problem, cancer 10 yrs. ago, survived that to have all these cardio-vascular probs, not a quitter. Puts
I'm on blood pressure medication to try to prevent cardio-vascular problems, other organ failure, stroke, etc. Hopefully, I didn't wait too long to get on it. So far, so good. I went on the South Beach diet a couple of months ago and lost 24 pounds and am feeling quite fit. Cancer, cardio-vascular, heck we each beat the BIG C, we can solve the other. Stay positive, Ivan. Do what you need to do to lick this latest challenge. You're a warrior! Anyone named Ivan Putski is a serious ass-kicking WARRIOR! I have faith in you, bro'! There isn't a doctor worth his salt who won't admit that attitude can help a lot.
