That garden of yours needs weeding and feeding. Get well soon Joe.
Posted by Joe Crumley (Member # 2307) on :
I spoke to Joe a few days before he went in for his tests, and he was looking forward to going back to the VA. He told me how well they treated him, and they were the best.
I'm so glad he has this attack while in the hospital. They may be all wrong when the find out he's always that way.
Get better soon Joe. Were all rootin for ya.

Get well OP!

Modzi Criss, Tabarnak Joe, GET WELL!
Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
I hate those 2 words. Heart attacks have sure made a big difference in my life. I can just imagine the fears that are going through Joe and Hennie's minds right now.
We like to give OP a hard time here in Letterville, but I know he knows we all love him. In a manly way of course. Hand in there Joe. If a bad boy like me is still alive and kicking after 16 years and 5 heart attacks, a healthy eating old hippie with a budgie in his Speedo will be up to his old tricks in no time.
If you ask me, this is just a new way to attract vulnerable new wimmen to chat. Posted by Susan Banasky (Member # 1164) on :
Well wishes coming at you from Canada's west coast.
Posted by Linda Silver Eagle (Member # 274) on :
Joe, I'm praying and pullin for you!
Si, thank you for posting!
Posted by Cis Pack (Member # 2011) on :
Man, I hate to hear that. Get well soon, OP.
Posted by Joey Madden (Member # 1192) on :
Joe called me, I called Joe then we spoke back and forth till we laughed out loud. He told me he had the attack while he was being worked on, on the table. he'll probably be back home by Tuesday considering all his options, Henny is with him and everything is cool.
I love the guy Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Hey if you are gonna have a heart attack at least you chose the best place to do so. I'd send you down some pierogies but they are bad for you. ))))))) Hope you have a speedy recovery, Joe. NOT a Speedo one please God no. Love....Jill

Hopin' the best for you, Joe...

Well, when he found out that George W. Bush was sending his personal doctor to help in the treatment and all the other attending doctors are republicans, he decided he had received a divine miracle and left in a hurry!

good to hear you're out, OP
Posted by old paint (Member # 549) on :
HOME!!!!! finally ill post more tomarrow, need sleep!!! TUESDAY 12:58 PM. IAM GOOD GOT SLEEP LAST NITE....my own bed. i have frequent flyer miles at JACKSON MISS.....))))))))))))))))))))). i walk into the PRE-OP DESK, and its not hi, can i have your last 4 four of your social, please......ITS...... MR PRIBISH, WELCOME BACK, now sit down and BEHAVE!!!!!))))))))) and it just keeps on in most sections of the hospital i have to go to!!! peopel are just so good to me. ok, long story short, i had to be their FRIDAY morn for a HEART CATH. another reason i wanted th go there, is they dont do the cath thru the GROIN area, but its done thur the radial artery in the right wrist.heal time is couple days and right now i have a "band aid" covering the small cut. during the procedure you are "twilight" druged, and are awake sort of. the doc told me to tell him if i had any pain or discomfort at any time. he asked hoe i felt and i said got a little pain in my chest, and lower jaw......he told the other person there to spray NITRO into my mouth, then asked me if i still had pain, and it was gone..... this was the HEART ATTACK, changes in the EKG, mild pain for a short 5-7 sec period. but being where i was, it was terminated that quick before it could do any damage. so then they decided i might STILL HAVE a reoccurance with in the next 12-72 hours. so i was admited to ICU for fri evening and monitored, then moved to the heart wing, and they had a portable monitor on me and watched me incase it happened again. monday morning they took me to the U of MISS research center, they have a 3-d CT scanner. and took a look at my heart anf arteries that way. i hada serious heart attack in 1988, caused me to stop smoking, and change my lifestyle. i never went to the hospital for it, cause i knew if i did i would been cut open.....so i managed to recoop with a damaged right artery. over the years it has rerouted the blood flow, but not 100%. NOW they saw i had a 30-40% blockage in the LEFT artery. this was what they was concerned with. doc said he dont STINT till there is 50% or more blockage, so in a few years.....it might have to be done, or with diet, meds and weight loss, i MIGHT... be able to clear some of the blockage AND NOT INCREASE IT. this is the OPTIMUM OUTCOME. so iam stll goin, and now knowing the extent of the damage, i will be a little more prone to slwo down. thank all of ya for your concern and well wishes, IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! thanks again to all.
