Guy, I hope that Mike makes a complete recovery and that your two families share many years of comraderie.
Godspeed to Mike.
He has recovered and doing well. He is on various meds, and eating different. Ok so we ate cheeseburgers and fries growing up. His family history had no sign of heart diesease, both his parents are in their 80s. His heart was not damaged, just couldn't get any blood.
Prior to this episode he complained of being tired alot, and just not feeling well generally, but no chest pains till the incident.
He was saved because he knew the signs, and lived only 2 minutes from the hospital. I thought about all the remote places I have camped in my travels, and if such happened to me, to the extent he was blocked, probably not gonna make it. Just too far and too long to get definitive care, but I won't let that stop me from what I do.
Prior to this, I just never imagined not having Mike around. I'd be lost without him, so much history and life between us. Like Terry, he is at the peak of his life, we both are, and sharing that has been very fullfilling.
I told him recently, "man its more fun now then when were teenagers,"
We recently spent a few days at the beach with him, the ladies were walking down to the beach to lay in the sun, and Debbie asked me, "Y'all goin with us or stayin here to watch football?"
"I dunno lemme see what Mike wants to do, hey you wanna go down to the beach?"
"Nah"
"Why not? Great day for it"
"I know but I don't need another heart attack"
"why ya say that?"
"Have you looked down there and seen all those young girls in bikinis?"
"LOL"
"So I better stay right here and watch the ballgames, safer that way"
