Hello all, just wanted to say everyone that next Thursday I will be going into Heart surgery, I'll be out for 6 hours, they said I should have a 98% of full recovery with no problems. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I guess it has to be done! Hope to be back on and listening to the radio again soon!

My prayers are with you. It's got to be a scary thing to have to go through but it's still better than the alternative.

Good luck to you. We'll hear from you when you are well. In the meantime, enjoy the medication.
Remember you're in the best place in the world to have this kind of surgery done! My prayers with you.

Best of luck - I've enjoyed our conversations - hope to meet you some day!
Hi jras20,
We haven't met, but I've enjoyed reading your posts on the board. As michaealshiloh said, you are in the best place in the world for this procedure (I've had some experience with family there, and they came through with no problems). You'll be on my prayer list, and look forward to seeing your posts when you get back on your feet. God be with you.

I went through 6-way open heart bypass in February here in CA and I can tell you that you're in great hands and a greater Being. Give your trust and Faith to those beside you and within and you'll be amazed how you'll come out of all this.
Don't let any anxiety affect your going into this, as easy as it is to do. This isn't to diminish what you're going through ... it's not an easy procedure, but, fortunately, this is the time to do it ... and correctly, as painlessly as possible and with the best care modern medicine can provide.
Revel in the absolute joy you'll have at feeling better than you have for most of your life after this is over. You'll be surprised, trust me.
And most of all ... take your time after this. It will not be an immediate comeback and you'll have up and down days ... all that you'll be able to handle, just as I did (despite how I thought I wouldn't.)
The taking-time is the worst part ... but you'll want and need to.
And most of all, don't obsess with the business you love. It will still be here after your six hours and for days, weeks, months and years after you've long recovered.
Slow down, take it easy and you'll be even better than you could imagine.
I know.
My thoughts with you and your family and friends ... those you'll come to count on to speed your recovery. You'll be forever grateful, I assure you.
Regards & best wishes,

I too have enjoyed and learned from your posts. For some reason I can totally picture you in the hospital with your antenna, laptop and radio. ;D
Since you are taking the laptop, does that mean you will be visiting RI from there? If so, I can’t wait to see what you have to say once those meds kick-in...LOL
May Gods hand be on you.

You are one of the "trusted voices" that can actually affect some of the stations that you listen to. Believe me, there are those that read this board that have a direct relationship with radio all over Texas. You may not know them all but they do listen to and highly respect your opinion.
Best of wishes and all of God's blessings. You're in our prayers.

Antenna? I bet you can get some wicked signals off of those metal hospital beds. I see Jras jamming to a techno station out of Arkansas or Mississippi. Seriously though good luck man. Take some cd's or an ipod because you know there will be a time when you are feeling really good but won't find anything good coming over the air. Then again if you are feeling really good the bad music won't bother you at all.
