I just this minute received a telephone call from Dicksbro's lovely wife and she wants everyone to know that he came through the surgery with flying colors!!
He had a restless night, but that's not unusual and is nothing to worry about. The nurses have him sitting up in a chair and he's doing fine!!
They both send their thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

She will call again in a couple of days to update us on his condition and recovery.

Oh Sugar! TY, TY, TY sooooooooo much for this wonderful news! I have been on pins and needles and db did say you would fill us in as soon as you got word! I am breathing a huge sigh of relief. I almost missed this news this morning as I am off to work, but something made me stay and come back to this forum and I know what it was now...........you are an angel on earth SS! TY so much again and please tell Mrs. db that this is the best news I could have hoped for. If you do talk with her again in the near future be sure to tell her to give db a gentle kiss from me!

Thanks again SS! I am elated with this news!

Thanks for the update, SS. And DB, if you red this, please be assured that, although I was concerned, I did NOT pray for you. As a Discordian, you *really* don't want me praying for you.

SS---Thanks for the update.DB told me that his wife would be calling you and that you would let us know his condition! Irish
P.S.I think that he was really scared altho he tried to act like it
didn't bother him.

I just got off the phone with Dicksbro.....he got home from the hospital yesterday. He's doing fine! He sounds strong, and is eager to get back to us here at Pixies. I told him how everyone continues to inquire about his progress.
He sends his love and thanks for all the prayers and good wishes for his recovery.

I hate it when I get busy and don't check in!! What happened?!
Doesn't really matter as long as he's ok, but what's up?! Tell him I said I hope he gets better!

dicksbro

Hi, everyone. Foregive me if my typing is rough. Left arm has an incision running from the elbow to the wrist and has to be bandaged to catch the oozing ... ewww.

Also, there are air breathing tube locations in my upper chest and a long 6-8 inch incission where there breast bone (stenmum) was broken to give access to the heart.

Recovery will take 6-8 weeks overall, but should be steady improvements as I go. Just since yesterday, I've almost doubled my air intake from 1000 ml to 2000 ml. Guess I don't have to hold my breath now :)

About the second week od December I'll go back in to begin a 24-session cardio=rehab and some dietary classes.

Just wanted to once again tell all of you that I cannot ever express how much your love words meant to me. Of course it was hard explaining how opern heart surgery would give an erection. :)

Seriously, you are the best and I truly thank you! There are a few of my pixie firends that I know also need prayers. I can promise you, you have them from this ol' pixie guy.

Probably won't post long as I get ver tired. But it's good to see the keyboard again.

Love ya' all

Dicksbro

Oh! That explains it. Take care DB. Your wife better get ready! With all the extra oxygen your getting, you're gonna be a bear to keep up with. My mom commented that she couldn't keep up with my dad after his surgery. He had too much energy! Don't forget what the best aerobic exercise in the world is either:D Your gonna have to get some help with that physical therapy! :D

WOW!!! Thats great DB, I am so pleased that you are doing well, I was a tad worried and am really happy that youhave pulled through the surgery. keep increasing that lung volume buddy and allow yourself to recouperate.

good news that he is okay and well

p.s. i haven't been here in awhile, what did he have surgery for?

xanne

:) :) good to have you back DB, and on the road to recovery

dicksbro

11-29-2002, 11:42 AM

Thanks FP, GG, Mercury_Maniac and Xanne. Surgery was a triple bypass done a week ago last Tueaday. Coming along okay, but will probably still take antoher 6-8 weeks of rehab to be fit again.

Each day's a little better.

Typing's sure suffered. Seft arm donated an artery and so the right arm doesn't think it has to do anything to help :D

dicksbro, I only just learned of your surgery and I'm glad to hear you are doing well. You are in my thoughts and prayers throughout your recovery. *hugs*

Irish

11-29-2002, 07:33 PM

Dicksbro---If you keep looking at Pixies;I'm sure that your right
arm will think of something to do;to make itself useful! Irish

dicksbro

Sassy ... thank you. believe me, all the good wishes have helped!

Irish ... LMAO. Glad he took the artery from the left arm!

Its great to know that he is going to much better
