Open Heart Sugery
« on: January 30, 2015, 09:28:50 PM »

Just wanted to let you guys know that I will not be around for a while. Monday 2 Feb I will have open heart surgery to do a MAZE procedure and REPAIR (not replace) the Mitral valve. This is to prevent A-Fib and PVCs (missed beats). Everything has finally fallen in to place to get it OVER, I was told in August that this needed to be done. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and concerns. The recovery can vary but 2 days in ICU and 2 or 3 days in step down, then home with 24/7 observation for a week, then 2 months, or 3 months, or 6 months until normal activities it all depends. Please keep this spot warm for me I will be back.

Thanks for the update, Dick.  Yes, this spot will be warm for you.  We also have a warm place for you in our hearts.  We know everything will work out well because you are too good of a guy to have anything bad happen.

My prayers are with you, friend!!!
