Typhoon 5 Posted June 2, 2012 Well it has been determined that I have to have quadruple bypass surgery sometime within the next two weeks. It seems I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and didn't know it. I will be out of action for a couple of weeks following the surgery. I went to see the anesthesiologist yesterday and he scared the crap out of me talking about strokes, uncontrolled bleeding, and a myriad of other complications that can occur. Just my luck WOFF will probably be released in the meantime. Just keep things going and I'll be back asap. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cody Coyote 1 Posted June 2, 2012 Sorry to hear that Typhoon. Wish you the very best and a quick recovery. As you note, if' you're down two weeks that should put you right in line to return with the coming of WOFF. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAKO69 186 Posted June 2, 2012 Don't get stressed out too much. The Docs have to tell you the bad side of everything, its so they cover their you no whats. Look at it this way if it was really bad you would have been under the knife when you had the MI. They must think your healthy and strong enough to wait 2 weeks. Just take it easy, watch some old school war movies. Spend some time with your family and relax. We will be here waiting for you to heal up. Get well soon I'll be looking for you.

OlPaint01 0 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess you and Tranquillo will now have to share Nurse Gladys' attentions. The ward is beginning to fill up. The Red Cross will have to transfer in some more sweet faces in for you guys' recovery. OlPaint Edited June 2, 2012 by OlPaint01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted June 2, 2012 Best of luck, Typhoon! I figure you'll be OK if you didn't even notice having a heart attack a while back, but I'll ask the spirits to look out for you anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tranquillo 10 Posted June 2, 2012 Good luck with that, Typhoon. I know someone who has had that surgery and it's like they've been reborn. I'll see you there. Nurse Gladys has already told me I'll be stiff afterwards :yikes:but I think there's enough of her to go round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted June 2, 2012 Get well soon, Typhoon. Be sure to let us know when you are up and flying around again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Tony, I bet you are a bit worried about such surgery at the heart, but a friend of mine had it too, and he was fit again very soon, and felt much better than before. Nowadays it is a routine operation. Get back ASAP - I bet the devs will stretch the 2 weeks for you and Tranquillo. . Edited June 3, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon 5 Posted June 8, 2012 Well I got a call from the hospital today. I will be having my bypass surgery June 15 ay 8:00 am. Unfortunately it wasnt Nurse Gladys that called, it was a Nurse Ratched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately it wasnt Nurse Gladys that called, it was a Nurse Ratched. That's the same day as my surgery, Tony. I hope it goes well for you. I'd like to say I'll be thinking of you but, somehow, I think it's unlikely. You probably didn't get Gladys because she'll be busy with me. Never mind, I'm sure Nurse Ratched will do a sterling job.

With Nurse Gladys taking care of you, better watch that old ticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
