Didn't see either of you on the email string so I thought I'd post Rick's story..
As many of you know, I have had a triple by-pass
open-heart at the Leesburg, Fl. Regional Medical Center, (LRMC) on July
16. All seemed to go well and I was sent to their Rehab center and was
discharged yesterday, August 1. Needless to say, I feel a lot better at
home and more or less on my own.
I go to one of 2 cardiologists on Friday next week
and another on the following Tuesday, one more a week later. As you can
see, they are keeping an eye on me. I am one of those that never knew I
was in trouble, except for a spell about a month and 1/2 ago where I almost
passed out and things started getting dark. I thought I may have had a
heat stroke. You know how this Florida heat can get in the summer.
Mary Jo had me go to get a Stress test and that is
where they found I had a problem. One vessel was more than 95% blocked, so
I am glad they found it before it found me.
All seems better now but, I guess I am not out of
the woods yet. They are still a bit concerned about a few things and will keep
an eye on me for a week or two yet.
This is not to make anyone overly concerned but,
rather a way to let all of you know about me and that all is well. I'll be
back on my feet in no time and plan on resuming all the things I did
earlier.
Please pass this on to those who may not have
e-mail. Thank you for the many prayers and thoughts cards and etc. while I
was out of commission for a bit.
