Thanks so much for sharing! I am sorry that you need to have more surgery, but I will be praying for you on Thursday that everything goes well.

Going through something like this DOES make us more sympathetic to the plight of others. And I believe that is what we were put on this earth for- to give as much love as we can to those around us.

I am glad that we met on blip. fm and I look forward to sharing more music with you.

Best of luck tomorrow!!

I’m struck by your story, and the generosity of spirit you show creating the foundation……I wish you the best of luck with it.

I am a 54 yr old bass player/house painter (was…)until
May 7th, when I sensed telltale signs of a heart problem..
I raced to a local friends house,(from my paint storage facility) and after asking me if I wanted them to call 911, I nodded yes, and that’s the last thing I remember for 2 weeks..

I was told I was screaming about the pain I was in, and that I didn’t want to die….So my gf responded, “So, Don’t Die Then!

After x-rays they determined that I had an aortic dissection, or split, and they took me an hour away to the heart surgeon and 14 hours of surgery…

After many complications like pneumonia, a super parasite in my blood called serratia, and tremors in my hands from low oxygen to the brain, and blood clots in my calves….

…I stayed in the hospital for 50 days!

Now a few months later, Im recovering daily at home, no work, driving, or lifting…..and I find out my aorta has enlarged Below the repair they did, too quickly, and they have to go in on the 26th, (Thursday) and put more pipe in, joining the pipe they already put in!

Needless to say I was smashed, and cried myself to sleep that night.

One thing Ive seen though is the Love of all of my friends and associates, and family, and my love for music, for if you lose something, and it comes back to you, it is meant to be yours….

Everyday has become a gift and precious. Im told Im very lucky to be alive…in the top 5% of people who have what I had….

That is why I’m so touched by your story,what you went through, and your attitude. I probably never would’ve even read it before the event, but now my heart goes out to everyone who is suffering, on the news, and in life…

I support you 100%, and send you Love,Light and the Power of the Positive Attitude…It’s been great “meeting” you, and hope to grow to be a friend in support always !
