Hey guys.. Thanks so much for the support.. And thanks a ton Haley for coming by last night, It really cheered the old man up...

But yea, there's a 2cm bloot clot hangin out in his Aorta.. Luckily that is an exit, not an inlet. But there's still the chance that it could fall down somewhere it's not suppose to be or break up and go to his brain... And we all know the results of that.....

That's what sucks about the whole situation... How life is strange. He's sitting in his hospital bed, w no symptoms, no pain... No sign what so ever that things could head south soo fast... Honestly I don't know what i'd do without that guy..

We may fight like nobodys business... Can't tell you ow many times I nerrily avoided a cuncussion from a wrench while workin on the taco...
I think he's old and too slow.. He thinks I'm young dumb and lazy...
But truthfully, he's my best friend and I love that guy more than life itself.... And it really touched me when my mom told me, he's not worried about himself, and what may happen to him.. He's worried about not being there for you...
 
thumb.gif You guys hang in there J


Chase and I talked about goin up tonight after HB's Soccer game, but I dont know what kinda hours or whatever they have . Call me this afternoon if you get a chance, if your up there I can run supplies or do whatever and stop by

Hell I can run over at lunch even .... holla man.
 
Thanks P. He's at Princeton Room 5114.. It's a monitored care, but not intensive care so he can have visitors anytime..
I've got to put a starter on my Tacoma, then i'm headed back over this evening.. But he's always stoked to have some company.. It's just him and moms and his mom in and out all day...
 
Just got back... he's doing good said he has to stay for a week and they are pumpin the thinner through him, I wasnt there long but you can tell he's bored as hell and obviously doesnt want to be there ! Cant say I blame him though.

I met your Grandma too J Rich, she's a character they were talkin about the hell raising your dad did as a kid ! Good Stories, good stories laughing1
 
Its good that hes doing better. Im truly sorry that you and him are in this situation. Its sux when bad things happen to good people.
 
Moring update...
Good news and Bad news...

First the good: After 9 million blood test it seems my dad does not have a medical clotting disorder...
So after this is over he won't have to stay on blood thinners and risk bleeding to death inside or out if he has an accident..

Now the bad: The 2cm bloot clot hanging out in his Aorta is not lodged there, but has grown there to try n stop a small hole in it..
Apparently 5 years ago when he fell from a 30 ft. roof and shattered his leg it tore the ligament holding your Aorta, J- shaped tube where blood flows from the heart, and has been leaking, sending out little clots every since.. So another week to let the best doctors in the southeast formulate a plan, then move to UAB and have an open heart surgery to remove the clot and repair the damage...
If everything goes well, he should make a full recovery, w/ a burley scar, and be back 100%...
 
Keep us posted on when he gets the surgery schedule... chicks dig scars , he'll need a badass tattoo after its all said and done to make it official ! thumb.gif



Hope he keeps his spirits up, he need any wheelin mag's to hold him over ??
 
Well he's gonna be in the hospital for about another week before the surgery.. And you know.. He's just sitting there really on no meds or in no pain.. so he's bored as hell... Anything you think he may rind a little enjoyment in bring it on...

Ha.. when I walked in last night he had just got finished talking to the doctor.... And the first thing he said was.." I told P i was gonna make it to the first XRRA... and by god im gonna make it..." He's not worried about them splitting his chest open and sewin up his heart.. just if he'll be able to make it to gray rock... Told him i guess if he isn't better i'll have to get a side car for my 650L for this summer... ;D
