I am having a triple bypass heart surgery!!!

[Dc311]

But how are you feeling now? I do hope you get better.

Thanks man.I am feeling fine right now.I am starting to walk and stand for longer periods.

i think if anything you should write down everything you'd like to say (or make some sort of video) so in case you don't happen to get around to it, it will be recorded somewhere

I pretty much already got everybody.But I have thought about this idea for my will.

given the circumstances it certainly makes sense that none of you want to leave anything unsaid or unresolved.

Right.My friends and I don't have any more "what if's" anymore.So much weight has been lifted off our chest because of this.

these conversations will only strengthen your friendships in the coming years.

Cheers to that.

And a few conversations would end in the "really fucking great" level.

Going back to this.And I don't even know why I am posting this.I was worried through each one that I was stressing my heart out and I was kind of getting scared through it.LoL.

I am feeling fine right now.

Fine enough to relive this again...?

Fine enough to relive this again...?

I could have easily not pressed play,but I did anyways.



I had to stop it at 25 seconds so I guess I am not fine now.You dick.LoL.

[BobcatsThunderBulls]

Hadn't seen that play. What was he thinking!

Update!!!

So after waiting and waiting and testing and testing i finally got the official news.My arteries are pretty fucked.The artery where a stent was placed when I had the heart attack is already at 70% blocked.That was a real surprise to me.The other 4 are 85-90% blocked.And the arteries going to my legs are at 90% blockage.The doctors flat out told me that they are surprised that I have not dropped dead yet.
So they scheduled me for a triple bypass surgery.They will only bypass three of the arteries and at a later time do some kind of bypass with the arteries in my legs.
My legs suck now.I use to always depend on walking and public transportation for when I got around,but not anymore.I cant even walk 10 minutes without my legs tightening up and me having to rest.
The heart surgeon originally scheduled it for the 3rd of March but I told him not that day because my birthday is on the 11th of March and I do not want to have any discomfort that day.So as of right now,barring anything coming in the way,my heart surgery will be on the 17th of March.The surgeon will have come back from vacation well rested and I will have time to hang with family and friends...just in case.Because you never know

Oh and the surgeon agreed to my request to take a picture of my chest opened up.Just as long as I remind him.

holy shit man. Well, best of luck next month!

[shadowgrin]

The doctors flat out told me that they are surprised that I have not dropped dead yet.

Badass.

[Andrew]

Sorry to hear it, but sounds like you're hanging tough given the circumstances. All the best for the 17th.

Thanks man.

The doctors flat out told me that they are surprised that I have not dropped dead yet.

Badass.

I couldn't help but laugh when they told me that.They looked at me as I were weird.

Sorry to hear it, but sounds like you're hanging tough given the circumstances. All the best for the 17th.

I just want this over with already.I'm tired of all the damn doctor visits.I could see why they are doing so many seeing as they need to know everything about me.I should have had this done months ago.I am tired of stressing everyday that I could die of another heart attack.But then I could die of anything.


I have one more really good party in me before the surgery.I'm going to make it count.

[shadowgrin]

You should have replied to the doctors, "so what you're saying is I'm indestructible?"

Sound clip only.

Indestructible.

As a fat black Christian chef, this sounds like a wonderful idea.

Damn dude. I hope you make it and have many more years ahead of you.

[Lean]

I wish you good health man.

Oh and the surgeon agreed to my request to take a picture of my chest opened up.Just as long as I remind him.

That's pretty extreme though.

[NovU]

Best of luck to you fella.

I look forward to our little shit talk when Spurs meets the Heat once again in the Finals this year.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Stay cool. Best of luck. And don't worry, the surgery will go smooth...

I will be there even when OKC is sweeping the Spurs in the conference finals.

I had female relationship problems the past two weeks and it ended tonight.To be honest it has brought me down pretty hard.But with my family,friends and all of you jerks' support...I see that hole she left filling up pretty fast.You guys fucking rock.All of you.

[Andrew]

Hang tough.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Welcome to the awesome club. Being single rules!

How's your medical condition? Any updates there?

[shadowgrin]

all of you jerks' support...I see that hole she left filling up pretty fast.You guys fucking rock.All of you.

WHOA! Hold it right there.
We have nothing against your holes being filled up by whatever you want to put in there or any freaky group thing you're into but most of us here don't swing that way man.
Female trouble is no reason to switch teams, not that there's anything wrong with that.

The original Axel says hello then.

[Dc311]

Alright guys and gals.Tomorrow is my heart surgery.At first when I found out about the date of the surgery I just wanted it to be done with already.I still do but the nerves have set in.Not too much though.But they started.I started to watch a video of the procedure on youtube.I watched up until they started cranking the chest open and then I had to stop.I have seen some pretty gruesome shit and it really has not phased me.But seeing and knowing that they are going to do what I had seen...well that is a different story.I am going to watch the whole thing tonight.I pretty much saw the worst of it.I might as well.

So I am not planning to die.I will be back.But just in case...I just want to say that you people are fucking great.No matter what is said and done,the San Antonio Spurs are the best.Good day or night to you all.See you soon.

Best of luck Isaac! I think I watched part of an ACL surgery and closed it pretty much immediately clinching my knee, bleh.

[Andrew]

Best of luck man. See you back here when it's all over and you're feeling up to it.

[bowdown]

Good luck man. Hope to hear back from you soon.
