Crash7 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I wanted to explain my sudden absence from this wonderful forum Two weeks ago on Friday the 11th I had a heart episode when I was on my way to my little Italian social club like I do every Friday. I had bypass on the following Monday and I've been in the hospital ever since. Getting strong, dealing with some post-operative infections, but nothing out of the ordinary then trying to find me a rehabilitation place so I can resume some cardio and rehabilitation activities That doesn't work I'm going home next week And back on this forum before you know it. You guys are the best thank you. Keith 16 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354170-hello-boys/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash7 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 I'm doing very well fellas I was only in ICU for one day which is totally unheard of, and I just got home to my house today after a little over two weeks. Everything is healing well except for some swelling in my right leg because they really had to dig to find veins to use for the bypass. Thanks for the well wishes, I consider myself very lucky. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354170-hello-boys/#findComment-5305745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Did a follow-up interview with my heart surgeon today and they finally answered the question nobody seemed to know: My heart muscle itself is solid and strong, it was just the arteries around it were damaged with disease But as far as the overall function of the heart? There's not an issue at all, good squeeze they said, and good squeeze is what you hope for. Thanks for the support and the get well messages via DM. VERY much appreciated. 🕹️ 📺 8 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354170-hello-boys/#findComment-5307845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash7 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Just wanted to let you all know that I had my first appointment with my surgeon Wednesday since he cut me and everything checked out fine. The wound is healing, the bone in my sternum is stable and they said it should be close to 100% in about a month. No more range of motion restrictions and I'm allowed to lift things up to 35 pounds now but he did say not to even think about throwing a bowling ball for another 4 weeks. This place is the best I wish I was in Portland this weekend! Hopefully next year. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354170-hello-boys/#findComment-5329497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him to the top, then click the aim button real fast so the white ball appears to blink, and then maximum hook. All comes down to carry then. LOL If your boys haven't shot on "sport patterns" yet wait until you get a load of THAT. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354170-hello-boys/#findComment-5329992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash7 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) These two wounds were as red as beats when the surgery was over because they were the deepest wounds where they got the veins from for the bypass Healing well, the swelling in my right leg is finally going down to match my left leg.
