Jackpine Update # 2

[Jackpine Radical]

Hey everyone, I'm up & out, discharged early this afternoon. I'll be on a heavy medication protocol with lot of followup visits etc., but no angiogram, no stents, no surgery. Thanks to all for your much-appreciated support.

I did not have the emotional or physical resources to respond to all who posted on previous threads, but I want everyone to know how important and how valued all the good wishes, thoughts and prayers, expressions of concern, and commentary in general on the posts in those 2 threads are to me.

I most humbly and gratefully thank you all for your compassion, your caring, your humor--in short, for being the people you are.

Jackpine

1. Dear Jackpine Radical, I'm out of the loop here but will find out what happened in other

threads. In the meantime, I love, love your OPs and wish you the speediest of recoveries.

[riderinthestorm]

2. How is your wife doing? Been thinking of BOTH of you these past few days...

So glad to get the update! Take care of yourselves.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. She got in to the dentist this morning.

He came into the office on an emergency basis & did some temporary work. She's not really done with the mess yet, but i much more comfortable than she was Friday night & Saturday.

I meant to report on her in the OP, but my dementia ate my intention, so I'm glad you jogged me to do so.

And thanks so much for your thoughts.

(Prayers, well-wishes, good vibes, positive visualizations and cash are also gratefully accepted.)

((Just kidding about the cash, BTW. If anybody sent me any, I'd find a way to donate it for food or LP gas or something like that for the people who are truly on the bottom. and economically hurting during this long, terrible Fimbulwinter.))

4. did`t know you had some problems...

from what i just read it sounds like it was your heart. going in tuesday for another scope to see if i need a stent. the doctors didn't have time to poke around last year when i had my cardiac arrest. shit that`s been a year ago this month....

take it easy and get back to your old self...or is that your new self? we got a couple of elections that need our help.

10. k&r...

11. I hope it's a clear sign your luck is finally changing.

You couldn't take many more Januarys.

Medical management does as well as a stent in many cases. They're now using stents in patients they would have rushed into bypass operations just 10 years ago and medically managing people they would have rushed into stenting. Finally it's going the right way, minimally invasive.

You'll be taking so many pills you'll rattle when you walk. I sympathize, I've been doing that for years for different problems.

12. I am glad both you and your wife are doing better. nm

[wandy]

Best.

Forgive my hyperbole...but, went through this with someone close to me..with a heart Bypass...and that's what we said...and he said...on RELEASE!

I am so GLAD you are "FREE AT LAST"....and I know that you will do Follow Up..so am comfortable with that.



I had Colon Operation for Cancer Cells...(just saying) awhile back...so that's why I'm Euphoric. I'm STILL HERE (and going strong) and couldn't wait to get out of that Hospital!

25. Good news, Jackpine!

I hope you and Mrs. quickly recover and remain healthy.

[ReRe]

26. Yeah!

What'd I tell you? "You're going to make it through this." Lay low, be cool and count your blessings that you had the opportunity to be master to two of the best dogs on the planet.
Keep on keeping on and best wishes for your wife too!

[Jackpine Radical]

32. You mistake my relationship with the family canines.

"Servant of 2 dogs" is more like it.

[ReRe]

34. ;-) I thought that adage belonged to CATS!

I have two of those. They own us. We are their slaves.
It's so good to see you posting. Hope you & better half are feeling much better. Lay low, now, ya' hear?

[GoCubsGo]

Even better that it seems you are avoiding surgery. Hope you recuperate quickly.

[sybylla]

36. Wow, what a year you are having.

I'm struggling to find anyone who has had a great 2014, but I think so far you have had it the worst.

Take care, my friend. I think I'll actually be free for Bob Fest this year and can't wait to see you there (if not before).
