his surgery is tomorrow morning around 7am I think....it's about a 5 hours surgery....then he has 1 day in the ICU and 5 in the step down, then 2 months of rehab


...as far as Fillmatic, he'll be seeing the inside of a jail cell most likely....I think he set a s2ki record for the most counts of Grand Theft.... cthree has taken the reigns on this one (thanks Erik)....stay tuned

Hope the father-in-law pulls through ok Tim. That's what is important.

*update on my Father-in-Law


Danielle took him in this morning for his urology tests and the Urologist wants to run more before clearing him for surgery...he thinks he has kidney or bladder cancer Danielle isn't taking it so well quadruple bypass & cancer is a lot for someone to handle at once....we aren't positive on the cancer yet though, so prayers are a good thing.

Dude...

From experience (recent in fact) it could be anything. Get two opinions and don't jump to conclusions--the doctors shouldn't either.

efthimios

thanks for your concern Scotty, I know you recent experience put you through a lot I'm not jumping to any conclusions though, Danielle tends to over diagnose herself and her family......luckily we have a lot of connections at the Clev Clinic...my sister does primary care/family practice, dani works in the Cancer dept as an RN, and on and on....his original doctor wanted him to stay at the Lakewood Clev Clinic for his surgery, but Danielle pulled some strings to get to one of the "top" heart surgeons that the Clinic (downtown cleveland clinic's main heart center) has on staff (considering they are #1 in the world for heart care that says a lot) to accept his case.....just that now this is a new monkey wrench....unfortunetly my father in law's past isn't the best, ie....his father died of a massive heart attack at 51, my father in law is 62, he works 60-80 hours per week with all different shifts, he eats applebees type food on a daily to 2 times daily basis, he was a heavy heavy smoker a long time ago but has quit, he was a regular drinker and still is (average of 2-3 drinks a day), the company that he put 36 years in with still has not let him know if he'll get a retirement....needless to say that is not a good combo

Scott Evil

I'll pray for you, brother.

efthimios

that's exactly what we need right now thanks brutha...I know not too many understand as well as you do, means a lot

efthimios

well for now the doc said what they saw were gall stones and not cancer.....they did have to push his surgery to Wednesday....which personally I am glad because I did not want him getting his surgery on 6, 6, 2006

Wow, Timmy... sorry to hear it all. I trust Dani's papa is doing better today?


Do you have a link to the Fillmatic guy? Even if he does go to jail, I still think some baseball bat swings at the knees are in order.

it's stickied in the groupbuy vendor page (i think)
