JimD 3,345 #1 Posted June 18, 2016 I got John's permission to let you all know that he is in the hospital and may have had another stroke. He is alert and using facebook to let people know how he's doing. He is undergoing tests and they are trying to figure just exactly what is going on with him. Please add him to your prayers. For those you who wish to offer him your support, you can look him up on facebook. I'm sure he would be appreciative, thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,939 #2 Posted June 18, 2016 Yes. I read that last night. They can't seem to find anything. John is more worried about Chance than himself. I was really looking forward to seeing him again this year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #3 Posted June 18, 2016 Update: They have discovered that John has a hole in his heart. Apparently it won't require surgery. He is happy about that! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,939 #5 Posted June 18, 2016 Fellow I used to work with had the same thing. They discovered it about a month before I had my attack. They were able to treat it with meds. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,230 #21 Posted June 20, 2016 Talked with John for a bit yesterday. He is doing therapy, and thinks he will be in the hospital all this week. His speech was better yesterday, then the other day when I called him...that is a good sign. Please continue to keep John in your thoughts and prayers. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #22 Posted June 29, 2016 Well I'm alive and still kicking, I'm thinking that's a good thing. It definitely wasn't a picnic that's for sure. My body is throwing out blood clots and they don't know where they are coming from, They've got more test's to do yet. I came home Friday afternoon. Yes Mike you hit it right on the nail, I had to get home to my dog Chance, I lost Linda at the end of April which was really rough on all of us, Chance included. She meant the world to him and me. She was the reason behind pretty much everything that I had done. I always tried to make sure 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
