This
is the formal announcement that I’ll be missing in action for a few weeks. I am
scheduled to have LVAD cardiac surgery (a left ventricular assistance device,
ie heart pump) on Wed 12-11. I’ll actually be admitted on 12-9, so this will
likely be my last entry for a while.
Inpatient
stay will be a couple of weeks, then home rest for 3 months. The procedure will be
done at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.
Postings
haven’t been frequent lately due to the gradual deterioration of heart function. But
once I’m back my intention is to jump back on the hobby train and see what can
be accomplished.
Many
thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts for this difficult and complex
operation. Keep em coming! And I’ll see you once I’m able.
This is kind of a lame photo to use, but believe me, most of them on the net are pretty gross. Not something you'd want to be surprised by when you thought you were going to a modelling website!
