I'd like to ask everyone on the Border Ping List to pray for my co-worker and former FReeper, Jackelope Breeder.
He and I work for the same company, different divisions. We do a clean-up in one of the canyons of the Huachucas once a month. He was out with the gang this Saturday, and started complaining about chest pains after the clean-up was done.
I don't know any more details after that, but he is now in the hospital and is pretty heavily sedated. He will go in for the triple bypass tomorrow (11/11/03), and expects to be released over the weekend if all goes well.
I'll keep y'all informed of his condition as I find out more.

Thanks for the update, good news. Heart surgery has come a long way thank God, and I am sure he will be okay after a few weeks of TLC.

Ok, before anything else, JB said I gotta tell yall
THANKS! Now that that little detail is out of the way
I spoke with JB about an hour ago. He seems to be a little less cantankerous than before, but is indeed in good shape. Heres what happened.
While moving a couple of rocks to block a turnout, he felt something pop or give in his left shoulder. He thought hed pulled a muscle, and decided to have it looked at. While sitting at home, the elephant plopped down on the middle of his chest. He knew what was happening, so he popped a coupla aspirins as they went out the door
his daughter took him to the local ER. They did some tests (angiogram?) on his chest. The films showed 3 definite areas of blockage. He was medevacd to Tucson and underwent a triple bypass Tuesday morning.
He was out of surgery around noon, and spent the next several hours coming out of the anesthesia. This morning, they got him up or tried to for exercise. When he stood up, some of his numbers fell pretty drastically, so they decided to hold off on the exercise for awhile.
I mentioned the pillow, and he said hes been able to use it for every cough save one. A little one snuck up on him today and caught him by surprise. He said it felt like hed been shot in the chest with a Bazooka!
As we said yesterday, his docs still think hell be able to come home Saturday or Sunday. Hell be out of work for at least 2 weeks.
Finally
JB has had a chance to read everything youve said to him up until yesterday around noon. Thats why I opened the update with his thanks. He is truly touched by your care and concern. And Id very much like to add my own thanks to each and every one of you. It means a lot to know he has friends like you.

So do you sell all that cartoon art on your profile page? Victoria doesn't sell her merchandise directly -- you have to go through her business manager (me). If you Freepmail me with your mailing address, I'll send you a full catalogue of her cartoon art.
If you want to take advantage of our Thanksgiving sale and get every graphic on her page for only $99.99 (regularly priced at $129.95), you'll have to include your credit card information.
