Yes, please take great care of yourself. The Alma Mater has a fabulous hospital, and I'm sure they are being very thorough and diligent. Prayers for you in the Big House tomorrow. Gary, thank you. Doctor informed me this morning I have another heart blockage. Awaiting the scheduler to call with a date for surgery that could occur as soon as next week. I knew something wasn’t right. Doctor told me my condition is reversible. Sorry to read this, John. Thoughts and prayers.

You have been doing your part for sure. Stay positive!

Blessing in disguise if they caught the heart thing because you were there for an unrelated reason. Glad they caught it. Get better, JohnM.

Just became aware of this thread...so sorry to hear all this John....it is good to hear that the heart blockage is reversible. Is that something that developed after your last surgery ? Cataracts surgery will be a life changer for the better. I had mine a couple of years ago and I can function without my glasses as long as the function is not further than about 18 inches. In fact, I am typing this without my glasses....any typos are part of my DNA though Funny, I take my glasses off often because I don't need them for closeup work, I will walk away from them and then will have a hard time finding them Be careful with the concussion....follow the protocol. Maybe we can contact the Yankees doc to test and monitor you. Hang in there, my friend. You have a lot of people here rooting for you. Can almost guarantee they are more sincere about rooting for you than for the Yankees !! You are the real home team around here

I have a friend who is a heart surgeon and he said he wished he had a job like mine. I replied “ you have to be kidding! Everyday you get to save lives”. He said is job is so repetitive, I asked what anout the surgery the other day that took 4 fours because of complications. He said he’s only done that one a hundred times. Wish a boring routine surgery for you. Got to get you ready for spring training!!!

I’ve had so many interactions with medical professionals over the last three years. I have great respect for them.
