Jen went to pick up all the medicines I'll be taking and I thought I would come out to the computer to read your comments on Jen's post.I must admit, it was hard reading with tears flowing out of my eyes. To say this is the best industry is an understatment!To all of you I say a big THANK YOU! for your thoughts and prayers and I owe you a big hug.I'll talk to you more later cause now i'm getting a little tired. Your Loving friend,Bob

an 84 year old preacher friend of mine recently returned home from similar surgery. They had to give him 8 units of blood. He's waiting till next Sunday when he has enough strength to give a message from his pulpit to see if he's still a southern baptist!
I hope they loaded you with the right oil to go another million miles.

Praise the Lord and pass the oneshot! I trust the Lord will be watching to make sure you don't mess up His handiwork! Do what the doctors and Jen tell you, OK?
Have a great one!

Keep up the good work Bob, the best thing I remember after the operation is that every day you feel a little better and that is the best medicine, to know you are healing well and on your way back to normal. Count your blessings.

We met a few years ago at one of the shows in Ohio. It was a real pleasure.
As one of the members of The Brotherhood of the Undead-- a bit of advice-- in all seriousness-- if you haven't found it out already, should you have to sneeze do not try to hold it in, or stifle it. Open wide, and let 'er rip. It will hurt, but nowhere near what it will if you try to hold it back. No one told me before surgery, and I found out the hard way.
Welcome back, and do well.

Welcome home Bob. As I mentioned before, I know first hand of the power of prayer also. It is wonderful to know that we letterheads can be supportive of each other during times of need.
Listen to what the doctors tell you and more importantly to Jen. If she is anything like my wife, she knows more how to take care of you than do the doctors.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Welcome back Bob, my brother in law just had 6 bypasses a few months ago, and he's just as cranky as he ever was, so don't worry... sheesh.. sure he just finished building himself a summer cottage. He says there's nothing like new hydraulics to make you feel like new. Neil
