Around June 6th, I had a Heart Attact, and had two Stents installed. Today July 8th I go in for a Quad-Bypass.

Damn GP. I hope all goes well for you. Check in a keep us up and tell us how you are doing.

Our prayers are with you!!

Damn James, please oh please keep us informed. God bless ya and pray all goes well.

You know there will be prayers said for you on this end, my friend. Please get well and back to us as SOON as you can. You will and have been sorely missed by many peeps.

I got home July 16, as the Computers are in the basement we have a problem.

In order to come home I had to have Oxygen installed, due to lung damaged caused by working in the Coal Industry, I have had it for over 10 years , but they just found out I wasn't getting enough Oxygen at rest at rest. (85%) So the held me in the hospital until the Oxygen was installed.

It went better than I thought it would, but I still don't have a enemy bad enough, To would wish it on. Recovery will be 2 to 3 months. I won't be on the computer much seeing as I have to carry Oxygen downstairs and outside the house. I do have a nice, but noisy compressor unit that I use upstairs 99% of the time, I don't know how it works but it never runs out of product, it just keeps chugging along. Thanks for the Good Thoughts. Goofproof (Jim)

Glad things went well. Sucks with the oxygen deal though.

Keep up the good work on the recovery.

Glad to see you home. Now do what the Dr's tell you and "giggle them legs" and you'll be better in no time. We miss you here, so quit goofing around and get better.

Sorry to learn of your difficulties-but, happy you made it. My best thoughts and prayers go to you. Hope you have a good and swift recovery . Df.

New problems, ECHO-gram showed fluid buildup in the sack around the heart, treating it with drugs, if that fails I will have to have it drained.

I also took tests for Sleep Apnea, they showed I stopped breathing over 355 times in 4 hours, and my blood O2 level dropped below 83% for 1 1/2 hours. So I need a CPAP (Continous pressure airways pressure) machine at night with O2 attached.

I am currently trying to get the Insurance company to approve it, but I am having to jump through all their hoops. So I had to get two sleep tests to summit proving that the machine improved the condition. This from a provider that has to deal with Black Lung regularly.

My advice is don't work hard at your job and ruin your health, and most important
don't grow old.

Good advice, buy it is almost to late for me. You take care of yourself GP, we kinda like having you around.

Damn GP it never ends, does it?

Hope everything comes around, maybe soon?
