The Good: Being a fairly wise and level-headed man, Peter called the ambulance as soon as first symptoms were obvious. Thus, they caught it just on the cusp of being full-blown heart attck, and stuffed him full of blood thinners and other good things. So, no heart damage - no necrosis!
The bad: Triple bypass surgery tomorrow.
The ugly: he's still punning. You can't keep a good man down!
I will be praying for the staff and for Peter. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteMay God richly bless you, Peter, even in this time of trouble!

Good job Peter - realizing the seriousness of the situation! I'm praying for a full recovery.

Hang tough, Peter. We're not through with you yet.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up, my friend.
If you weren't so masterful with the language or weren't so appreciative of silly wordplay, I'd never mention this, but word verification for this entry is an adjective to describe you:
--it's "unpasin," I kid you not.
Brother Peter, hope you're better soon. The world needs more folks like you, so stick around a bit longer, please!
ReplyDeleteGod bless, and prayers sent.
Get well soon! We'll keep the light on while you are gone, and we'll pour you a tall cold one when you get back.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers...

THAT is by far the best news I've had this evening.
ReplyDeletePrayers for the skill and ability of the medical personnel operating tomorrow. Prayers for a full and complete recovery.
Prayers of thanksgiving for all Peter has shared with me. I think I was starting to take his excellent content (and self) for granted.

Quick recovery, Peter.
ReplyDeleteWishing/hoping/asking God's blessing also on the surgeon's hands.
Excellent news! I'm sure Inyati will be glad to see you again eventually, just, perhaps, not yet!
ReplyDeletePrayers being sent. Let him know he's missed.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers sent, and will continue until Peter is back raising hate and discontent with us :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck and hopes for a quick recovery.
Golly, What a body won't do to get out of unpacking.
ReplyDeletePeter, my thoughts and wishes are with you.
Prayers sent from San Francisco, Peter. Like many others, I've been there and know a bit of how it feels.
ReplyDeleteHope to hear good things soon,
Jeff
You can't keep a good man down, but you can get someone to go down on a good man... Heh.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon old friend.
ReplyDeleteWe MISS you!! ;-)

0God bless 'im. He's a daily read and I DO like to see his take on life. Like his work enough to link him.
ReplyDeleteYo Pete - get well, amigo.;
You are present in my thoughts this morning, Peter.
ReplyDeletePeter - -
ReplyDeleteHope this finds you recovering nicely from the bypass procedure. H. and I send all best thoughts and prayers for your speedy bounce-back.
Ten years ago, late on a Saturday night, I had a "bad case of heartburn" and "feeling really tired." Because I didn't detect some of the other classic symptoms, I put off seeing my doctor until Monday morning. The delay cost me a lot of dead cardiac tissue, and I make do with far less than normal heart function.
I'm just glad you were brighter than I was.

And remember to mind the Doc on the recovery side. Especially the "one aspirin a day" they will eventually prescribe.
ReplyDeleteOne little pill works wonders when needed.
We're still praying but now for a quick and speedy recovery from surgery.
May God guide the hands of the doctors.I am praying for your rapid recovery.Rick
