My adventure

bypass on Fri. I'm writing from the ICU at Highland Park Hospital in Ill.
Sorry I can't participate much. It's hard to type with your finger in an O2
sensor. Anyway, wish me luck. It came totally out of nowhere.

Barry from the ARCI club just went through that too
Were you not you at the Sunday meet?
Get well soon.

fact, totally asymptomatic except for some "Indigestion" last Sunday. Went
to the doctor,and he insisted on a EKG (abnormal) and then a stress test
(flunk). 1/2 hour later I was in the ER. A walking time bomb.

You just enjoy the laptop in front of you! You can listen to whatever music
you like, watch or listen to the news, listen to old radio shows etc
(earphones of course)
It was the laptop that saved me through the boredom, when I went for my two
cycles of chemo at USC Norris last January for stage I testicular cancer.
Think optimistically, look in to the diet they put Bill Clinton on, and
respect for the Almighty!
To a speedy recovery!

Thank you so much for the support and caring that you have given me. I won't
forget it.
Randy and Mike, thank you for putting me in your prayers. I can use all the
help I can get. The generosity and kindness has brought more than a few
tears to my eyes.

for you.

I know we're all a bunch of bottom feeders, but honestly,
we do NOT want to see your wife having an estate sale.
Get well, stay healthy.

Sorry to hear of your health problems. Just take it slow and follow
your doctor's advice. All the silliness of the hobby (and of
everything else in everyday life) will still be there when you are
back in the loop again. The most important thing for you is to feel
well soon and take it one step at a time.
Kindest regards,
Mark S.

John,
I pray for your speedy recovery! I got involved with this group (and
subsequently the hobby) when I was stricken with a disabling life changing
illness. I hope this group and hobby give you the comfort, distraction and
support (this group) as it did me.

Hi John,
We have the easy part, you have to work your way through recovery. My Mom
had a triple bypass in 1997. Once she recovered she was fine. She is now 80,
she does have some other health problems, but the bypass added years to her
life and allowed her to see her two youngest daughters get married. Take it
easy, do what you doctor says (most of it anyway. I have a renal transplant
and never o everything they say.) You know what you have to do. Life is
long, pretty soon this will all be behind you.
Get well, stay well,
Buck Frobisher
you are alive to tell the tale.
Fair winds and following seas, John.

Whew! I'm not much of a participant here these days...mostly a lurker.
But I appreciate your posts and wish you the speediest of recoveries!

Nice one, Jeff! I think we may share the same sense of humour...
Get well soon, John. We don't want to see you listed on eBay as "for
parts or repair"!
Cheers,

Thanks John
Typing to the group is great therapy. I'm really touched by the support and
caring I've gotten from everyone here. I'm at the point where I believe
remaining in this hospital is doing more harm than good. I really worked
hard to recover from the surgery and now I need my life back. I just
shouldn't look to closely into a mirror. Looks like I've lost at least 15
pounds over the ordeal, and that someone took a Ginzu Knife to me. To say
these events are "life changing" is an understatement.

You just stay there and enjoy the ride! For the procedure you just went
through, you need to be monitored at least a week in a hospital setting.
You will need at least three to six months to recover.
Even when you are at home you need to monitor yourself.
Now you have another birth date, and for the rest of your life, you will
celebrate two birthdays every year!

Hi Omer
I was released yesterday. The hospital stay was tough but I made it through.
They just don't want you hanging around those places once you can handle
things on your own. The advances in heart care these days are just
unbelievable. I feel better than anyone in my place has the right to feel.
It's a long road, I know, but getting back to health is my highest goal. I
know about the monitoring and have that all set up, and I know the process
is long and not always linear. It is all about rebirth, you're right about
that.
And I'll again take the opportunity to express my gratitude for all the
support from everyone here. Who would have thought that a radio collector's
newsgroup would serve such a great purpose.

They have a simple rule of thumb on gauging when you're
ready for release.
When you stop saying "Thank God I'm alive" and start bitching
about the food, you're good to go. ;-)

Gloriously unsterile. Like being in heaven. Of course, I don't quite get the
"sterile" part in the hospital, when you're not really allowed to bathe for
a week. And I couldn't wash my hair either. Oh my God.

EEWWWW! Disgusting!!! Welcome back John, and enjoy the dirt.
I could not agree more about hospitals not being sterile. I spent three days
in for a hemorrhage about three years ago, and was not allowed to even wash
myself, even though I was totally ambulatory.
First stop when I got home was the shower, next was the 'fridge.

Oh, you can have it - you just can't consume it! (or face the wrath of
a host of busy-bodys).
