    HEY Youse Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I just wanted to let you know that my Condition has improved slightly. I thought I might clear up a few things. So here's the story.
    On June 19 2009, I had an appointment with my cardiologist. My pulse rate had risen to 162 beats per minute, so I was put in the hospital immediately.
    When the usual treatments did not respond,
    the surgeon decided that I might have an Abdominable Anyeurism (sp). After 2 1/2 hours of exploratory surgery, nothing was found except that I have a beautiful inside.
    My heart condition was slowly being brought under control and as a result so was my other problems. I still have some problems with my balance and reactions. Soon I'll be ready to try standing solo again. I tried it today but was a failure. The last 2 weeks I spent more time in the floor, than in the bed or chair. Oh Yeah, I did not have any bowel removed.
    I'll try to keep you updated from now on.
    It took a week to get rid of 590 emails. And try to get caught up on the forums.

    Hi Bob, good to hear that you're beginning to feel better.

    This was posted under the 'street rods' area - Maybe 'Jon B' (our moderator) can move it to the main or discussion area for you? It will probably get more views there.

    Hey Lance, You have NO, idea how good it feels just being
    at home. ACTUALLY, I have been at home for these months of July/Aug/Sept under a hospice program..I found the Hospice program to be so much better than the care given in a hospital.
    Thanks to all that called everyday
    I would like to thank the folks that sent the 65 or so cards and e-mails for the fact that they cared enough to make the effort to contact me and to use their time and money also.
    I still haven't changed my mind, about the cars. The Drs. seem to think that this could reoccur at any time or place...........
    The main plan I have right now is to be at Pigeon Forge, for the music and singing and dancing, the swap meet. I don't know how many of You believe in such things but I had a dream that said I "WOULD" be in Pigeon Forge,,,,, but I believe God delivers messages through dreams. Sooooooooo I will be there. Maybe not for as long as I would like to, but I will "BE THERE"
    Later Dude.....................................................................

    BJ: Glad to know you are on the mend. There is without a doubt a large amount of HEALING that comes from personal Faith and Belief in GOD. It is my prayer you continue on a path of HEALING and achieve your goal of participating at Pigeon Forge and move on to enjoy working on your cars again.



    Best Wishes to you and yours
