    I want to thank everyone for the kind thoughts, prayers, and good wishes. This is the first I have been about myself enough to log in. A special thanks to Tom for posting here and his kindness to my family.

    I was shocked. I have never been in the hosptial before except for tonsils. About three years ago, I would get short of breath, and was at the emergency room twice, with no results amiss from stress tests. Thanksgiving it happened again, so I went to my doctor, who sent me to a cardiologist. He ordered a nuclear stress test, which showed something wrong. They did a heart cath the next Monday, and surgery Tuesday.

    I am very fortunate in that the heart muscule is not damaged and it was caught in time. Praise the Lord for that. I think we really take our health for granted, and all I can do is attribute this to is heredity, as my Mom died of the same thing at 54. I was a light smoker in the past for a short period of time, and eat too much at times, but do stay fairly active.

    Enough about me, the very person that started this thread also needs your prayers as Tom is having a circulation problem in his legs taken care of next Tuesday.

    There is nothing like prayer, and the grace of the Lord. Thanks again to everyone.

    Mike - I'm so glad that you found out the issue when you did and that you are doing well. I'll be praying for Tom as well.

    Folks, thanks for your prayers in advance. I'm so thrilled that I have a tingling in my toes. No, wait! That's the circulation problem.

    Anyway, I go for the lab work today, and the leg bypass surgery next Tuesday.

    I need the prayers. You need the practice.

    Seriously, I'm grateful for all of you.

    Good News

    Brother Tom had his surgery today on one leg, and it turned out fine. He goes home Thursday to see how things go, and then goes back in six weeks for the other leg if all goes well. Please keep him in your prayers. (and his wife Janice)

    As a side note, this is a brand new experience to me, as I have never been in the hospital. I never realized how much someone goes through every time they on in and get cut on. I will be back on the board in a few weeks and really appreciate all the prayers, but at the moment, I don't have much interest in Bible versions, free will, or politics. Again, thanks for all of your prayers.

    I think you're "getting cut on" was a whole lot more than the average person goes through.
    Any surgery makes me grateful for any Bible version. LOL

    We'll we watching to see how Tom does.

    Well, Gina and everybody else, I did just fine. My right leg is pink and warm, and the doctor says that's very good. I got home last (Thursday) evening, and I have a small amount of discomfort, but really, very little pain.

    I asked the doctor about restrictions, and he said I have none He doesn't want me to drive for the next day or so, but basically says my body will tell me when I'm overdoing it. They encourage walking, but I'm afraid it will all be inside since we have a big snow falling outside.

    Thanks to saturneptune for his help keeping all of you up to date. And to all of you who prayed for me. I think I had the world's largest prayer circle interceding for me.

    On top of that, my wife Janice is a registered nurse with a lot of experience in critical care and rehab. You think I didn't hit the jackpot when I married her?

    Blessings to you all.

    Sounds like you got it made Tom!

    Waiting till your body tells you you're overdoing it is not fun. Especially if you're rock climbing and hanging off the side of the middle of a sheer drop. Which I don't do. My body stops me first and tells me I'm overdoing it if I even THINK about it. :tongue3:
