bkbjones is in the hospital
 

Bkbjones / John went to the hospital on Wednesday with a minor heart attack. He's ok, and it was able to be treated chemically. He should be discharged Saturday if all goes well.

Anyway, keep him in your thoughts. I visited him today and we watched CC beat up on the Halos. He's in good spirits, schmoozing the cute orderlies and giving crap to everyone else. With his hospital roomate gone for some procedure, we had both tv's on. All we needed was beer and cigars. The RN frowned on that, even after offering her her own. Maybe next time... :)

Get well soon, John.

Take care of yourself, John. I'm planning to join you on the field when I make my next trip to WA.

Heart attack?

Who on this planet had the nerve to attack John's heart? Hope he kicks their *** when he gets out of pris....er, hospital (same thing).

Latest news emailed from John:

Quick update...breaking news...looks like I will be in hospital until Wednesday...upon further review, the crap that was gummed up around my stents is still gumming things up. Good news: systolic BP is no longer near boiling point. Bad news: my roomie has been a widower for about three years and talks to his wife in his sleep. Quite sad.

And how does John know his wife isn't in the room? :confused::rolleyes::cool:

Take care of yourself john.

Get well, John.

Good luck on your recovery

Here's hoping the best for you, John!

Thanks everyone
 

So next time I tell a UIC, "My partner is killing me out there," maybe they will believe me.

Thank you all for your kind words. u 2 Mike. Actually, prison food is better. My dinner tray Monday night was a potato roll, a scoop of sugar free strawberry sorbet, and a glass of Shasta Diet Lemon Lime.

That was it. "Nutrition Services" got a call, well, more than one call. Next thing ya know, I had "Chicken Italiano" AND a piece of pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni may be the best I have ever had on a pizza or anything else.

Turns out it was a "myocardial infarction." That's what killed my dad almost 46 years ago (a week before JFK was shot), so I guess we have made some advances. All I know is it hurt like hell, even worse than 3 years ago which resulted in a triple bypass.

So...eight days later I am at home. I am exhausted. As you all know, you get limited sleep in the hospital. I need to catch up.

I hope to be back on the diamond. Larry, hoping to work with you too. It would be my pleasure to work with all of you.

And...don't take any of this schist for granite, ok?

Let me see, who could have you been working with to cause that? Could he be on this board? :rolleyes:

Gad to see you're back home. Take time to recover and hopefully we will be hearming more of your tales from the trenches. :)
