Prayers for him! My dad had a massive heart attack earlier this year so I know how scary that is. The good news is that the doctors are so good with heart issues these days, so he should be in good hands.

Lord, Merciful Father, hold thy son and servant in thy hand and bless him. Heal his body, I pray. Comfort and strengthen his family in this time of unknowing, grant them all the peace that only You can give. Bless the medical staff that watches over him, open their minds to the knowledge needed to bring about healing and to the care and concern needed to nurture him back to health.

In the name of Christ Jesus our Lord, Amen.

May the Lord be with our brother and his family,
Lord your word tells us in
Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.

In Christ

We just came from the hospital where he has been moved to a room. He was in good spirits so I scolded him for going to such ridiculous extremes to get attention and he looked properly sheepish before he grinned at me. He is most likely going to be released tomorrow.

Hello All!

Thank you so much for your prayers.

If you are curious, I'll share with you that my blockage was from a "blood clot" that moved into my heart and stopped just below the label "LCA" in the picture above. This shut down half of my heart. Boy... did that hurt!

From the time of the attack to unblocking it with a stint was 69 minutes. I have no damage and will only need a short time to recover.

Thank you again for all your prayers.

If anyone can figure out who was sitting in the chair at my feet (that nobody else saw) please let me know.

Forgive me...

[mont974x4]

I tend to think it was an angel.


Rest and heal quickly and fully, brother.


God bless

It is so wonderful to hear from you, and I am so happy for your family and friends...as well.

Modern medicine has come along way, I remember back before the late 70s, a heart attack was almost an immediate death sentence. But now the general populace is so educated on how to respond to the first symptoms, and the advancements of early treatment there is an execellent survival rate. Praise God. However, none of this is to dismiss the works of our Divine Physician, and His hand in our healing.

Hope that you get to feeling better soon, and back to your old activities.

Did the doctors tell you to do a radical lifestyle change, such as a better diet? My husband and I are doing that, boy...not so easy. I have actually craved some of my old bad foods...so bad, that I could literally taste them. :swoon: . But we are doing good, thus far...and are committed to do this....my husband is in pretty good shape, just elvated cholestrol and doc said he has too much blood...lol...I have never heard of that before, but apparently John's body is making too much blood. My liver "sheza not so good", so it's make changes now, or grow sicker and possible need a liver transplant later on.....:eek: That's incentive enough for me...lol.

Peace be with you...Pam

OrthodoxyUSA -- I'm so glad that you're OK. You have been such a wonderful presence here, and may God grant you many more years in good health and in service to Him. I'm not sure who the person sitting in the chair at your feet was, but it was not me, so that should help you narrow it down a little.

That seems like something you would be told before having leaches attached to your body. I have never heard of such a thing.

the syndrome is called polycythemia. It's exceedingly rare.


God is Good, glad he was watching over you, OUSA.

person at your feet.... likely an angel.

I'm so happy to see you back on here . . . . and that you're able to Read tonight - unbelievable!

Glory to God for His great mercy and lovingkindness!!!

P.S. So were you granted to see your Guardian Angel?

[OrthodoxyUSA]

You guys are wonderful.

I can't say what I saw. I simply do not know. If it were not for the evidence left behind that someone was sitting in that chair I would dismiss it as having to do with Morphine and Demerol.

No one remembers anyone being in my room between 3AM and 6AM. It's all kind of fuzzy... but the chair with the blanket draped in it, as if someone sat there holding it, was still there when I awoke... and that extra blanket had been across my feet just hours earlier.:scratch:

Forgive me...:liturgy:

[HowardDean]

Definitely an angel, maybe St. John Chrysostom (his day was yesterday).
We need you down here for a while.

Should ppl with this problem give blood?

I am curious if that would help them and help donations.

Must have been quite a chilly room. Since your angel needed a blanket while they stayed by your side.

I am so glad they were watching over you.

unfortunately, no. It would seem so, because of the constant surplus, but it's unusable, it carries the defect that causes the syndrome in the first place. The risk of the receiver developing the same problem makes it problematic.

well, if it was an Angel, praise God.

If it was the drugs, they were working. Praise God.

If it WAS someone else in the room, but nobody remembers who it was, someone was watching over you, Praise God.

win-win-win in my estimation.

[HowardDean]

Most of us would've willingly been sitting there watching you if we were but able.:hug:
