Kevin May God be with you on your surgery and get well quick! You are so fortunate to have found the blockage before you had any damage. We need to get your stand up on Betty's soon. Good Luck and God Bless, Ben
Amen & prayers sent
thanks, guys, I'm looking forward to getting this done...it explains a lot of things about how I've been feeling lately...
I appreciate the prayers, and thanks to God that this was found before I crashed and burned somewhere in the woods. Y'all would've had to field dress me to get me to the truck...
I'll let ya know how it turns out
Kevin
Prayers for Kevin - for complete recovery and wisdom for the medical staff involved.

Praying for ya, Kevin!
Day late and several dollars short...but prayers it went well today! Prayers for this to work and not require further surgery... and for God's Grace and Healing to be on you!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Well, the saga continues....
When they did the catheter today, they found a number of blockages, from 70-90%. Scheduled for quadruple bypass next Thursday.
I thank God that something told me to have a stress test. There is no damage to the heart muscle, so this should make me good to go. Be a real challenge with all the lifestyle changes, but it's also a blessing.
This is a real Trad Gang story. I was able to meet Brad Harriman (fireman_3311) at MoJam, and we talked about his heart attack a couple of years ago. He's a couple of years younger than me, and wears a pacemaker. Without this "push" I probably wouldn't have gone in on my own to get this checked.
Thanks to all for the prayers and support
Kevin
God Bless..prayers sent!
Good luck Kevin, Hope everything is fine. bretto

Kevin...
Good thing is that you are young and can rebound with some work... Dad didn't do his exercises and ended up bent over...
Life changing event...but one that is going to open up new vistas for you. Be a transition and some soreness, but you're going to do excellent and be on here praising God's great healing!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Prayers from NM..John
Kevin,
Stay after it and get better, we need to try and wear out that new bow and tent you just got.
Like Barney would say Nip it Nip it in the Bud!
Mike
Keep Kevin in your prayers today as he undergoes bypass surgery.
Absolutely! Prayers for God's Grace, Love and Mercy to cover up Kevin and his medical team as they work to resolve his troubles!
Kevin came through the surgery just fine and is doing well.His wife said they did a triple bypass so keep the prayers going for a complete healing.
Tracy
Great news Tracy. Keep us posted.
From what I've seen...once the doc tells him to start doing the work outs...that is huge. Gotta get those muscles back in shape where they split ya open... gives me chills...but it's worth the investment!
Glad it all went well... I'm betting he'll feel so much better, he won't believe it!
PRayers for continued positive outcomes!
Kevin is doing great and will be coming home from the hospital today,That is great news for him and the family.
If I know Kevin it wont be long and he will be on here giving us an update.
:clapper: :goldtooth:
Tracy
AWESOME!! :notworthy: :clapper:
Amen. Praise God
Wonderful news! Prayers for a speedy recovery. :pray:
Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I made it back home yesterday afternoon, and found out quickly that I 'm going to ask for a lot of faith and patience during the healing process. Feeling pretty well, though, breathing and walking are coming along nicely, it's the "snap, crackle, pop" along the sternum that's bugging me now.... :knothead: :thumbsup:
Be careful because my sister-in-law's son had a quad and overexerted himself which pulled the sternum apart. It is very painful and now they have to go back and reconnect it.
Been away and it's great to come home to read the good news, Kevin.
Benson is offering sage advice... do what your supposed to, but never exceed the warnings. Dude...the sawed apart your breast bone! :eek:
It takes time for that bone to "knit" like a broken leg or something! :knothead:
Doesn't mean you can't do the utmost in conditioning for cardio that they suggest... and get the ole ticker pumpin O2 rich stuff through there to help the healing...
Man it's good to see you back home and doing well!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Glad to see that you're back home and doing well!
It will be kind of creepy the next time you split the rib cage on a deer. :scared:
Take care,
Bill
that's funny right there...
Hey, BMN, hyou made po' Kev laugh...that gotta hurt about right now! Stop that! :)
Prayers continue, Kevin!!
Yeah, you're right Doc. That probably did hurt. The problem is, it's pretty easy to make Kevin laugh. Good thing laughter is good medicine!
Bill
:bigsmyl: :thumbsup:

Keepin ya in prayer, kevin!
