Great!

Stay away from those flu spreaders. A bunch of people are getting the flu all over the country.

just in time for Christmas & technically, you get to celebrate your birthday for a week!

i'm sure we will keep you busy while you recover....

glad you are back!
 
Had the pleasure of meeting Bora at Marietta Billiards a few years back. Get well soon and Merry Christmas.
 
A funny story with Bora and myself.

He was woofing at me at Marrietta Billiards. Didn't know him from Adam's housecat. He demanded the sun and moon. I told him where the sun don't shine. Some dude behind him, wearing a cowboy hat and a bad manicure, said "Jump in the box". This guy was so big, so ugly, loudspoken and toothless that his gums surely woke up on both sides of the bed. Me doing a doubletake doesn't cover it.

So, Bora and I tangled. Race to 9 for 5 dimes. I was down 4-2 when he commented:
"How do you like me now?" That kinda ticked me off. I jumped at him, but Mr Cowboy 6 foot 4" backer intercepted and horsecollared me. But then... I saw out of the corner of my bursting eyes - Pinky delivered a swift kick to Bora's middle leg. That kinda shifted momentum, as he couldn't catch his breath.

I won, 9 - 4. Never got paid though. Where's the check brother??!!!


;) ;) ;) (< 3 winks means it's fiction)

Merry Christmas Bora, hope you get back to making 3 in a row soon.

just a update-

I went to see the doctor today and he scheduled me for a stress test on the 15th. If everything goes well during the test he said I can go back to everything I was doing before the heart attack.
So fingers crossed everything goes well on the 15th.
 
Cliff;

Prayers and positive thoughts remain with you, buddy, for your complete and speedy recovery.

happy new year.

best,

I thought I would post up a little update since I still get the occasional PM or call about my health.

On Dec 18 the I have a heart attack. The scary part besides the heart attack was this is the anniversary of my fathers death from a heart attack.

Jan 18 after a stress test the doctor released me to go back and do what I was before. With a few restrictions on food. Since then I have not had any red meat(which I do miss) and I watch my sodium very carefully.

Fast forward to today-
I'm feeling good but still not yet 100%. I would say I'm about 90% health wise.
The doctor told me I would more than likely have to take a nitro pill every once in awhile because he was not able to fix one small vein that had some blockage. Knock on wood till today I have not had any pain that has even made me consider taking one. Not that I'm trying not to take them its just I have not had any pains.

My insurance put up a fight for a few months trying not to pay but that has finally started to get squared away. It was a bit scary to be looking at a total well into the 6 figures with no insurance help.

So thanks to all the people that sent me well wishes. I got so many calls, text, and emails it was great and really did help. Thanks to Brian for starting this thread for me. Thanks to everyone that stopped by the Omega booth this past expo to say Hi and wish me continued improvement.

A special thanks to everyone that went out of their way for me and sent me donations to help out. I have tried to repay all of them but not one will take it back. I do promise this that I will pay it forward every time I see a deserving person or cause.

Agreed. Cliff, it was a pleasure to finally meet you at SBE (when you stopped by the cafe table where Brian and I were talking), and we both can put a face with the name.

So sorry to hear about what sounds like a congenital condition, but at the same time, I'm relieved to hear that it's coming out ok from both the health and financial standpoints.

Hopefully you'll find yourself up in either the Brewster NY or New Milford CT areas soon. You have not only a great pool match with me awaiting you -- your choice of games -- but dinner and beverages as well (especially Brewster -- great food there).

Warmest regards and best wishes for the future,
-Sean
 
I was totally caught off guard to see you in the booth at SBE!
I wanted to say I appreciate you helping me out with my purchases.
Glad you're still truckin'. You seem to be on the right track.
Let me know if you end up nearby. The place we played at shut down,
but NoVa has a wealth of good pool options.
 
Bora, I only know you from here and the chat rooms. Glad to hear you are on the mend. From what I can tell you are one of the good guys in this sport, stick around for a while would ya.

Continued good health and good rolls.

^^^^ What Spanky says.

I always like Bora's posts, he seems like someone that would be great to hang with - on and off the table.

If I were his doctor I would prescribe the following:

- eat your prunes and oatmeal for breakfast

- broccoli and hummers for dinner

- spot me the 6 out


KK9 <-- just saved Bora 6 figures :D
