30 and younger thread

Got in a little muddy water yesterday

 

Find out if I'm gonna need heart surgery tomorrow. Been lucky the past 3 times with my heart staying the same size but something tells me this time will be different

 

For what? If you don't mind me asking. You sound fine about it

 

MOPAR OR NO CAR!!

 

He's the grinch.....

 

Yeah no worries. Little freaked out but its a highly successful surgery and regardless I'd say I've lived a good life haha.

And its for a leaky aortic valve. Causes my heart to enlarge and it was about 2mm away from being large enough to have surgery the last 2 times I've gone. So if it has grown anymore I will be looking at surgery within the next 6 months more than likely. If anything I'm hoping to be able to wait until August due to school and work

 

When he turns nice maybe haha. My heart grows

 

Hmm sounds more serious typed on a screen than it is in reality I'm sure. My dad is a surgeon pretty sure he specializes in that area...that or it's urology.

Hopefully things turn out for the best for you

 

Someone school me on cb radio or have a suggestion. I found one thread with a bunch of explanations but still unsure what to get for basic truck to truck talk.

 

Cobra 75wxst with a 3-4' whip antenna

 

Need:

- Radio
- mic
- Coax that's correct length (don't want coiled up cable)
- Mount
- Stud
- Heavy duty spring
- Antenna
- SWR meter

 

You'll be alright bud. My friend's little brother has been having heart surgery every 2-3 years since he was about 2 years old. He has a valve in his heart that doesn't grow. So, every 2-3 years they cut him open and replace the valve with (another) a larger pig heart valve. He's never had any complications that I've heard of and has grown up as normal as any other kid.

 

That's reassuring. Yeah I know its a pretty normal surgery just a little freaky as I've never been under the knife before and for a first surgery its a pretty huge one. Several family members/family friends have had the surgery with no complications either so I'm not too worried about it.

 

That what you have?

Have a hood mount already. I already understand whats needed but what is actually useful for functionality.

 

That what you have?

Have a hood mount already. I already understand whats needed. But theres so much to choose

 

That's what I did have. Had an 18' coax cord as well and had a 1.1:1 ratio.

 

Then be more specific next time!


I don't know what to suggest in terms of radios. My Uniden pro 520xl has worked great so far though.

Highly recommend a heavy duty spring. Anything less will be too weak and bend too easily. I like my 4' Firestik Firefly antenna a lot. Very light and not as thick as the others.

 

I've had surgery 3 times in my life so far. The first one was when I was 7 years old. I can understand how you feel in terms of being freaked out; especially because it's heart surgery. Heart surgery is becoming pretty routine nowadays, and success rates are pretty high; especially with a "routine" heart surgery like you might require.

Just stay positive no matter what the outcome. Whatever happens will happen. You'll end up just fine bud.
