"Home is where the heart is," is especially true in your case, Gev, and I'm so glad of it. I had a heart attack four years ago, and you really do appreciate things in a different way, afterwards. Welcome back, and I'm praying for a full and complete recovery.

 

[Half/Stop]

Gev I’ve been missing you my friend and wandered what was going on. Thankful your home now and prayers for a full and swift recovery!

 

[glennbad]

Gev, wow, glad you are still here, brother! As I used to say after my heart issues in '09, "it's better to be seen than viewed".

Now, make sure you do whatever the doctor says for you to do. Unless it's to give up knives. That's where I'd draw the line.

 

[Gevonovich]

So glad to hear you're home and OK, Gev.

My thoughts will be with you during your recovery, my friend.

Thanks for thinking of us and checking in here. Rest up well. Life really does take on a special radiance after facing the alternative.

I really appreciate your thoughts and I feel the radiance indeed !! You are a fine man my friend !

GEV!!!- I had no idea
Thank goodness You came out ok my friend.
You take Care ok my friend- we simply cannot afford to loose another great guy here.

I had an intuition it was on the horizon and that intuition saved me. Your thoughts you put to words in Bob's thread touched me my friend.
You are one special man Duncan

Glad you are home Gev!! A good sign.
Hope you heal fast, and prosper. As Duncan says, we need you around here!!!

Charlie, I am amazed by the extraordinary skills of the surgeons with a knife ! Thank you kind Sir !

Thom, thank you my friend. The recovery in mind blowing so far. This has healed so many physical issue I had no idea were related.

Gev I'm really sorry you had to go through that buddy but I sure am glad you came out on the other side. Take care of yourself and do the things the doctor says.

Gev, glad you are on the mend, my friend. You are in my prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

Your prayer mean the world to me my friend!!

[glennbad]

I can also tell you the funny story about how one of my tubes got stuck, and they had to take me back in the OR. I was out for it, but I can only imagine the surgeon with his foot against the table yanking it out!

Rest in Everlasting peace Bob. I will pray for that same peace for your family.

I am grateful for this life. I survived a heart attack on Nov 3 and after quad open heart surgery.....I am home tonight and doing well. Missed you all and thought about you frequently Life is amazing.

Let this not be about me, just wanted to tell my family

My Dad, when he was surprised, used to sometimes say, "Man Alive!" And, Gev, I'm certainly surprised by the news of your heart attack, but I'm so glad you're literally still a man alive, and back home!! I hope you can stick with the rehab program and soon be strong as an ox!! Thanks for letting us know about your situation, Gev, and I'll be using that Case Sodbuster Jr I won in Bob's GAW to remind me to pray thankfully for your survival and to pray for your complete recovery (I suppose that SBJr is my "Protestant rosary").
