pondmn Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Gary had a major heart attack last night and had heart surgery. He originally had six stints and now has nine stints. He had 100% blockage in some arteries. He was resting well at two a.m. this morning so Dorthy went home to rest. He wanted to get out of the hospital today but the doctors said atleast tomorrow. He cannot have gall bladder surgery for another month at least. I will update today after I call the hospital and talk to him. All is well for the moment.

~LARGO~ Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Jerry,Good to hear they got him into surgery, and hopefully in time to save as much of his heartas they could. I hope he will cool his jets for a while, and take the needed time to heal, then get his gallbladder taken care of, and he will be good as new.Dorothy needs to lay the law down to him to the extent she can, not aneasy thing to do whilst she has her plate pretty full with her own health issues.Tell Grubby we are all pulling and talking about him online,and thanks again for the prompt update!~LARGO~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondmn Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I talked to Gary today at noon by phone. He is very week with irregular heartbeat. He has had no sleep and they are trying to stabilize his heart more. He will be in the hospital several days at the least. I told him that people were concerned and that seemed to lift his spirits. Will post more later as I find out. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Grubstake We are all here for you but at the same time you got to do what they say.Gary it may take a Pacemaker to settle that heart of your so it runs correct. Dorthy you take care of yourself it's hard on the care giver sometimes more than the one sick.Hope all goes well and you will be out of the hospital soon.

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 3, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hello Jerry, Thanks for the update. I was hoping it wasn't a major heart attack. Well it's great to hear he is recovering. We are all praying for Gary, his wife and family. When you talk with Gary again on the phone, tell him he needs to get back on his feet and regain his strenght so he can play around with a GPX-4500 when I come back out. I will bring down an extra one so Gary can use it while we are hunting together. Also, he promised we would have another Pizza Dinner this year! Get well buddy,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Grubby, hang in there. I'm looking forward to the next time you drag my butt up to the high country and make me crawl around on my hands and knees through the Manzanita (did I spell that right?) For someone like me that is used to walking around unobstructed in the desert, I got quite a workout.You're in my prayers my friend.Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
