My 61 Birthday

Recommended Posts

On my 61 birthday I had a stroke. After bringing me back to life in Fairbanks they Mediflighted me to Anchorage where I have been recuperatining. Early this week I have open heart surgery to fix a valve. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be back home and back on the forums by end of next week. See you then.

Oh jeez Mark I hate to hear that. I was wondering the other day where you had been but figured you were prob off on a fishing trip somewhere. You will be in my thoughts & prayers for a very quick and successful surgery this week. Hope they get you feeling better than ever once you get it over with bud.

Happy birthday! Despite everything thrown your way, you made it another year and lived another day. That’s  a net gain in my book. Time to get well and build on the positives. Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery,

It's been a couple of years now since my heart surgery.  Take advantage of the nurse's attention while you're in the hospital.  At our age, it's unlikely we'll ever see that kind of female interest in our well being again!

My sincerest well wishes for an uncomplicated surgery and a speedy recovery.  I also truly hope you don't have any lingering effects from the stroke.
