My Health Update

Well what a hectic two weeks this has been for me. As most of you know by now I just had a triple bypass done because I was 99 percent blocked .Everything went so fast it was hard to keep up. My blood pressure has been so low that I see lots of black spots and it is real hard to see the computer screen. The nurses and doctors told me I was healing real fast because I was up and walking so fast. I am still not able to lift anything or walk too far but I am up and walking a couple of times a day around the block. My son Joey came out and stayed with us for the last few days and helped us out. Joey made it to the hospital minutes before I was to go under. He went home Sunday night with a great tan. I want to say thank you to everyone for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. Now I have lots of doctors appointments the next couple of weeks and I have a home nurse stopping by to check up on me so I am in great hands.

Now for some unbelieveable news..... my great friend Tony could not let me. have all the attention. The after day I came home from the hospital Tony went into the Emergency Room. They did some tests on him and Monday he underwent a triple bypass also. He had a 100 percent blockage. I think we have scared a few people in this park because we are always doing something and being very active.



Buffy has been holding up great this past week and is getting mad at me for trying to do too much and not asking her. She has walked a few times around the block with me to keep me company. She will be driving me everyplace because I must ride in the back seat only. I think I am going to start rehab some time next week or the week after.

Again I would like to say Thank You for all your thoughts, prayers, cards and offerings.
Please don't ignore those small chest pains and shortness of breath go with out seeing a doctor. It could be life threatening.
