Thanks for bringin that up. We hung out in the same parts of the country years past. I got a pm from him the other day. We're thinkin about him, and I think ol' wolf will be back better than ever real soon.
I gotta say, you folks really are awesome. I saw this and am touched beyond belief. Now I DID have a major surgery, but somehow I must have misspoken as to what it was I had surgery on, or somehow something got a little mixed up.
I had a MAJOR oral surgery....I do have a bad heart and in fact I live on merely 75% of mine and there was a deep concern that having to go under in the O.R. could have killed me. I was out for a couple of hours and had pieces of jawbone removed, broken, replaced, and all of my teeth pulled. I came out of it with absolutely NO heart complications and thank you all for your prayers. I did not have a good feeling and seriously believe those of you who had me in their thoughts and prayers are the biggest reason why I am alive today.
I am recovering pretty good and am just wishing for two things...I wish painkillers actually worked on me...but they don't so I am in a lot of pain....and secondly. I would like to EAT....not drink, my food.
Now just so you all know a little something about my heart. I have sleep apnea and I had not one but two heart attacks before the age of 40. The first killed the apex of my heart and it is nothing short of a miracle I am alive. Oddly enough, I did not know I had had that one until the second one struck.
If you know anyone who snores horribly, or stops breathing, gasps for breath etc. while they sleep, I EMPLORE you to ask them to get tested for sleep apnea. I am living proof that this does NOT just happen to OTHER PEOPLE. My life is forever changed, but at least God saw fit to keep me on this earth for some reason.
I guess my job here just is not finished.
I seriously love you all!!!!!!!!!

Whatever it is, it is valuable. If nothing else for the lesson learned or simply the experience of having been there.
Little late on my reply but i'm glad everything turned out okay for you Nashoba. And I do know someone with sleep apnea, he has to sleep with some kind of mask on his face. Anyway i'm glad to hear your okay. Peace be with you bro.

My bad bro, I assumed it was your heart that you were having the surgery for. I had no idea it was your jaw. :P
But all that matters is you are still with us & will be back swinging that detector in no time!!
God is Good!

It is called a CPAP machine. I don't leave home without mine and a 12volt to 110 converter and extension cord. Kind of a pain in the butt, but it keeps me alive and I am used to it after having used it for 6 years. The converter and extension cord come in handy for camping too...And not once has the thing ever drained a car battery. Might want to pass this info on to your buddy!

I saw that about fixin that big ol heart of yours but didn't want to tell folks it was fixin your big ol mouth. (heehee!) Thanks for bringin up sleep apnea. My brother-in-law has that and it can kill you. Later, Dude!
Ok, when I first read this I thought you had to go in for heart surgery after the oral surgery! Man was I feeling sorry for you! I am thinking we need to find you some tofu steaks, maybe angus flavored. or maybe tofu buffalo burgers! I hate to tell ya, but red meat ain't 'posed to be good for the heart ya know. seriously, I do hope you are doing better. my thoughts are with ya.
Nashoba is the Chatah word for wolf. I got that blood in my family and picked up on that when I saw his handle. He's a regular guy and a pretty good ol boy. So it's been a while, Nashoba...let us know what's up. Now if you're dead and gone, no need to respond. But if you do, we might make the banner!
I sincerely hope that Nash is doin well, hope he checks in & gives us an update soon. He's one of the "good ones" around here.
