My Father  who posts on this forum as Pecanman will wanted me to let everyone know that this past week he suffered a Heart Attack. He is in ICU with 4 blockages and Pnemonia.  He loves this forum and would appreciate your prayers. He is in very serious condition and will be having By pass surgey this Monday.

I'm very sorry to hear bout Will's health. I hope he recovers well from the operation. The best I can say about the by-pass operation is that the procedure is almost routine nowadays & afterwards he'll feel better than he has in years, that is of course once he gets pass the recovery from the actual surgery.

Pecanman's son,

The best thing you can do is visit him often & keep his spirits up. I just had the same procedure done, please tell Will that he'll feel better every day after the surgery & even much better once they get him out of the ICU (post-operative).

Marshall,

Sorry I never got you that uodate on my 55" DLP TV, but I hope you understand. Anyway, I apologize about hijacking Will's thread here.

Whyme, I am sorry to hear about your surgery, I didn't know. Recover well!

 Please, don't worry about the TV, I'm not buying anytime soon. It's kind of you to think of it though!

             Just wondering if anyone has heard how Will is doing yet?

I've been hoping to hear some good news too. Hopefully we will tonight or tomorrow?

I am hoping this is a case of no news is good news!

Bump!

Still no word on Will?

Still waiting.

Unfortunately Will is not young but believe it or not this is in his favor due to the developement of collateral blood circulation that developes as we age in the heart as vessel occlusion happens to everyone.  That said IF he ends up with quadruple bypass that is serious surgery with no complications regardless of his pre surgical condition.  With pnuemonia complicating things prior to the procedure pending the type of bacteria it is or whether or not it is even viral the water becomes as muddy as a New Orleans swamp....

We can only pray  and wait and hope it all works out...

My grandfather was in his early 80s when he had a quadruple bypass as well and he came through it very well.  He was also very active like Will (still blew out his own driveway that was a good 1/4 mile long, sidewalks, etc.).  They can do amazing things now for the heart...and amazing things with prayers as well.

My prayers are still with you Will.
