My Absence
Just a note to let folks know that I will not be online for an unknown period of time. I am scheduled for triple bypass heart surgery on July 14rh. They have not told me how long I will be hospitalized, so, I'll let folks know when I am back online.
Be good an play nice while I am gone or Joe will get his big stick out.

Re: My Absence
"Big Stick Joe" here!
(I just couldn't pass that up!)
Jim, Hope to see you back in the saddle really soon. Until then just keep a pumpin' away.
OH - be sure they use Genuine Honda Parts - they're the best!

Re: My Absence
U P D A T E
I've learned that Jim's surgeons elected to go with a quadruple (instead of the anticipated triple) bypass and that the heart surgery, itself, went very well. He has not (as of 8:30 AM, 15 July) woke up on his own yet - possibly due to old (or even, maybe, a new) stroke. He is being cared for as though he had experienced a new stroke, just to be on the safe side, and it has come down to a wait-and-see situation for the moment this morning.
The bypasses had completely repaired all the heart blood flow problems, however, the old (or maybe new) stroke situation has, it seems, delayed his post surgical waking up.

Re: My Absence
Hello, this Linda Jim's wife. Jim is still not woke up. They did a CT scan and it showed he had multiple small strokes, but they can't tell when the strokes happened. It is believed now that he isn't waking up because of the strokes. At this point all we can do is wait and pray for his recovery. I am so sorry for this sad news.

Re: My Absence
CT scan was done and the past mini-strokes were identified. Still no further news as of Monday morning.
