F' foot surgery

Sorry to hear about his health issues and please keep us up dated on how he is doing.

For those of you with a mind to, Keep JR in your thoughts. He was laid up due to the foot surgery, and this weekend got to moving around. Well he ended up in the hospital last night with 2 severe clots in his lungs, and more going on than just those. He's a good man, and has many dependent on him, so I know right now he is very stressed (not the best to be in with that condition.) He'll be in the hospital for a few days, and on meds for a lot longer. Don't know that he will see the Warpath any time soon, but again, for those that "know" him, keep him close.

Thanks

damn, let him know we're pulling for him.

Damn, definitely keep us updated. Tell him we're all thinking of him

Isn't JR your brother?

Yes, he is. The doctors said that Sunday night there was nearly no blood actually flowing through his lungs and it was very touch and go. Very scary. But he is responding well to the drugs, and was basically out of the woods as of yesterday. Thanks for your comments, guys, I relayed them to him.

Oh and Jamf, his boot is definitely bedazzled by his 4 yo daughter.

Oh man prayers out to JR, get better fast man!

Good to hear he's responding well. Do they know how this happened? Was this a reaction to the surgery?

The doctors are fairly confident that a clot formed in his calf due to the surgery, and that a part of it broke off and traveled to his lungs.

I will say it is really a scary thing that he and I were driving and talking, and I had no clue how close to the edge he really was(in fact according to the doctors he was well past it). He was clearly struggling, but nothing that I would have thought could have ended his life. Yet, in fact, it could have. You couple that with Japan's tragedy of instantaneous destruction and, man, this weekend really hammered home the thought that the future is not guaranteed, and that every minute means something.

Holy cow...you'd never expect something like that from a foot surgery, but they're not lying when they make you basically sign your life away before any procedure.

Hope he's continuing to improve. Foot surgery is miserable enough without complications.
