I am in the hospital because I -- you guessed it -- had a heart attack. I had a heart cath and everything. ☹️

I will be away from my computer for three days or so, and Faustina Friday may be delayed. 

So, I'm going to post my latest Faustina, a sestertius with a left facing bust and Salus, the goddess of health. Because I need some health.

Post coins with Asklepios, Salus, Apollo, or any healing gods and goddesses!

I'm sorry to hear that @Roman Collector! At least it sounds like you are on the mend and trending in the right direction. All the best to you and I wish you a speedy recovery!
 

Here is a Faustina II in your honor. It may look familiar 😜

Goodness, sorry to hear that @Roman Collector! I'm glad you are doing better. We'll be praying for your quick recovery!

I don't think I have a Salus to offer, but here's the next best thing - my Faustina II denarius:

I am so very sorry, @Roman Collector, but extremely grateful that things seem to be getting better.  And that your sense of humor appears to be unaffected!  I wish you the speediest and least complicated recovery possible, with the aid of:

First, Asklepios, as portrayed on this Severus Alexander AE22 from Mysia, Parion (I am not suggesting that you are a bovid yourself!)

And, of course, Salus:
