Thank you for sharing with us. Obviously you know how important he is to us, and vice versa, since you let him go to Wheeling so often. He will be in our thoughts and prayers, and he will be missed in WV, I am sure.

Damn.

Here I was thinking this thread was going to be a funny prayer request for his sanity while not being at the Meet.

Dude, Jim, I'm stunned. Please take it easy for a long while after you get home. We need to see you next year. I sincerely hope your recovery is speedy, bro.

Wishing for a speedy recovery. I have gone thru this myself. Tell Jim to listen to the doctors and do what they ask. I had mine 6 years ago now and I am still alive and well. Excercise, and good food will do the trick.

So glad to hear you are doing ok, and back online Jim. I read that you weren't feeling well the day before. So scary that it led to this. Of all the people who spend time in the Mego Suite, I can honestly say you are one of the few that I would never expect this to happen to. Get well soon my friend.

Hey everyone, I am home and resting. You don't know how much I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. Let me just say that if this can happen to me it can happen to anyone. If you are in doubt of your heart health, which I wasn't, please! for the sake of those you love get a simple heart health check up.

For those of you who are attending the MM this weekend, I'll be there in spirit and I was able to get my auction offering sent off last week, so a piece of me will be there.

Take care, love you guys!
Jim

You need to advise your family, extended family, friends and acquaintances that they should no longer schedule events you are expected to show up on during MegoMeet weekend. See what that kind of stress causes. :wink_y:
