This is what was used to close the hole. I now carry a card with the model and serial number of the thing. I still can't believe it took less than 1 hour from prep to finish. Into my heart like going into the plumbing of my house. Ain't modern medicine great?

It's done waiting for blood clotting to improve then it's to the room and food.

Thanks for all the best wishes

If they made all the changes we wanted it would cost $10,000+. Know anyone who wants one? I can't ride mine foe awhile. I'm on an serious blood thinner and could easily bleed out if I got a serious cut. I got out of the hospital after my latest stay this morning. The nurse had a hell of a time stopping the blood flow when she removed the IV line.

"Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or paralysis in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body."

Went into hospital Sunday afternoon I have had a stroke before and was experiencing tingling on face, arm fingers and leg
Had CAT scan it showed more than one old stroke I only had symptoms of 1 in 2004.
Had an MRI that night. Was told Monday the MRI confirmed more than 1 stroke.
Monday had Echo on heart and carotid arteries all showed clear. Then I had an EEG Monday afternoon.
The EEG lasted 90 minutes from first led being attached till the last one was off. Results were normal.
Wired for my test

Had a TEE test Wednesday morning it showed a hole in the heart.

My doc told me last night as he was letting me out that I've had more than 8 strokes. MRI showed 8+ old areas nothing recent. He put me on Coumadin. He said once the hole was closed he would take me off it.
I am being sent to Dr. William W. O Neill at University of Miami Hospital to see about closing the hole. The cardiologist said you don't want a rookie playing around with your heart. He said O'Neill has had a lot of experience doing these.

My GP is a fantastic doctor. He would not let me out without finding what had caused the strokes. The neurologist said I could go home GP said no I want a cardiologist to talk to you and have a TEE done. We need to find out where they came from. He talked to me last night and gave me instructions then went to complete the release papers. I was out of my room when he came back and he talked to my wife told her he has had 4 people with holes in their hearts who have had problems in the past few months.

Mike how about a pic of the rear of the magnum? What make and model did the rear rack come off? Is it just attached in 2 places on each fender?

My problem is he leading edge of the faring-is bent in and will not slide past the side panel. I even shortened it but it still hits. I'm afraid to pull it because the PVC might crack.
