Hugh, dear friend, I am very surprised and shocked! May God protect you during the surgery, and heal you quickly! I pray for you and Minta during this tough time and that the doctors will take great care and have great skill in your surgery and the healing afterward! Natalie and I will pray for you sir! You guys are very precious to us! Ted

Good luck. you and yours will be in my prayers!!

Hugh · 09-15-2004, 01:06 AM

thanks to everyone for you prayers and well wishes.

A little more explanation: During the past seveal months I have been experiencing shortness of breath during moderate physical exertion. About two weeks ago I saw my doctor for a routine checkup, and mentioned this to him. He ran an EKG and it showed a slight change from the one run a year ago. Last week I visited a cardiologist and he determined that I had some heart blockage. This morning he ran a cardiac catheterization test and determined that blockage was severe in four places. Luckily, my heart is in excellent condition with no damage. We decided that "the sooner the better" for the surgery, as the doctor said that I am a "walking time bomb for a coronary"!

For everyones information: The 3 classic symptoms of a heart problem are: During moderate excersize, if you experience shortness of breath, a "tightness" or pain in your chest, and or dizzyness, SEE YOUR DOCTOR!

tracyp · 09-15-2004, 01:36 AM

Hugh,

Best wishes. Our thoughts are with you. Keep us up to date on how your doing. I guess no more armadillo hunting for a while.

Take care,

Hugh, We'll all pray that your surgeon is as talented at his job, as you are at yours. Best wishes, TH

drbuster · 09-15-2004, 09:22 AM

Hugh, best of wishes. If Clinton could get through it, so can you. I have cared for scores of patients with this procedure. In your situation, it should be a "piece of cake". Hope to see you back working your wizardry with wood very soon!
