  Just found out that Duane is going to have open heart surgery. Apparently he has several things blocked on his heart's vascular system. Lots of blockages. It's all set for this next Monday so keep him in prayers. 

[John Nessler]

Will do. 

Sending good thoughts his way.

Thanks Dave and everyone. Monday night I started experiencing a slow (45) and erratic pulse. Then I started taking my blood pressure and it was very high. Other than that felt fine. 

Went to ER and they treated the pre-ventricular contract contractions (PVCs). Blood pressure went down and I thought I would be discharged with a charge in meds. Doctor says “I’d recommend a couple more tests and if those go well you can be discharged. They didn’t go well. Apparently my problems were caused by two cardiac arteries being 100% blocked, and two others 90% and 80% blocked. Not good even though I felt okay. I have some collateral circulation that’s already by-passing the.

It feels strange to feel well but be told to “have the coronary bypass or go home and get your affairs in order”

That helps the decision process. Keep my in your thoughts and prayers.

Duane,

 

I surely hope you get through these heart issues as easily as possible.  Where will the surgery be done, if needed?  ETSU is nearby and has a good medical school.  Our granddaughter has passed the MCATS with flying colors, but she wouldn't be ready to do surgery by the time you would need it...  😄

 

Good luck, take care, and keep us posted, please,

   I talked to Duane yesterday afternoon and he let me know how sore he is and how much help the painkillers have done for him. The surgery was a great success and Penny is with him to keep him occupied. I did get the sense he could not talk for long periods, his lungs were collapsed on purpose during the procedure and it just takes time for them to come back to full capacity. Overall, I think we'll have him back at some contests as his stamina and vision improve.

[Gary Polinski]

That’s great news to hear Duane is doing well.thanks for letting us know.

Glad your procedure went well. The heart shaped pillow will be your best friend for a while. Welcome to the zippered chest club. Been there 2x. All kidding aside goodluck with the recovery. You will get stronger each day before you know it you be back to normal.

Really good to hear from you Mike. Compared to the Achilles surgery it was much more intense, in a negative way, but recovery seems to be faster once you get past the first 3 full days after surgery. I will say that the muscles on the left side of my back are tight as a drum.

I spent last evening in my hospital room listening to early Beatles music-something I haven’t done in many years. Surprisingly emotional-very simple/enjoyable.

I feel I’m running out of good veins for blood draws-two has clotted in the tube, something I’ve never heard of . Reminds me of the movie “Soylent Green”. If you haven’t already seen it, let’s justify say it’s not very uplifting.
