Perhaps some of you have noticed that I have not been much in evidence for the past few days. I may be even less so for another week or so. On Feb. 4, my husband had to enter the hospital with a severe heart problems. He has been in the Cardiac Care Unit from that time, having been transferred to a different hospital in the meantime. He is scheduled to have heart bypass surgery on Monday morning – at least four bypasses, and ossibly even five or six. He is not a good candidate for this surgery due to his weakened condition, but we are STILL optimistic. We expect him to come through with flying colors and to be in better health after surgery than he has been for some time. After he is able to leave the hospital, I will be back to my normal participation here. I know that many among our membership here believe in prayer – as I do. If you are one of them, your prayers during these days will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to the time when I can once again do my full share of work in the AmigaForums. Betty

Betty, I hope all goes well for your husband. While I've never met him, from what you say about him…he's a wonderful man. You take care of him…family always comes first. Don

Tim, My husband is so greatly improved since the surgery that we can hardly believe it. We are still terribly busy, and it takes almost all of my time getting to the hospital for all I need to do there, and still taking care of errands and other chores, but things are improving beyond our wildest dreams. I know that all the prayers offered on Richard's behalf have made a difference, and I'm so grateful. Betty

My grandfather had by-pass surgery, and I was amazed at how quickly he recovered… it seemed the stitches were invisible after about three weeks! It's wonderful he's doing well. Take good care of him!

We can hardly wait for him to be up and about, John. If all goes as well as it has been going, he will get out of intensive care tomorrow. After 2 1/2 weeks in there, he is certainly ready to be in a less restrictive environment! It's always wonderful to hear of others who have had this surgery and have done well – and almost everyone we have heard about has found an improved life-style once the recuperation period is over. We look forward to it. Betty
