Speedy recovery for Kicken Chicken

Dear Brian,
I've been away myself, for awhile, but the doctors here at the sanitarium inform me that progress is being made. They suspended treatments this week because of a power failure in the new Electroconvulsive therapy machine, so for awhile I'll just sit around and play with myself.
I got a letter form pt, the other day, saying you were not well, and in fact were at death's door. Since I've been there a few times myself I thought I might send my regards and tell you a little joke to make you feel better. They say that laughter is the best medicine (although I always felt that Valium was). Here goes.
"Why don't people eat clowns? Because they taste funny!"
There you go. I hope that didn't hurt too much. Be sure and hold tight to the pillow.
Later, my friend. :smile:

Thanks, pt and all other well wishers; you guys are great.

Last night I went to bed not feeling real well and, unfortunately, ended up needing a visit from the 911 ambulance crew at b3am. Thankfully, they were able to quickly identify the reason for my drenching sweats and weakness - my blood sugar was way down in the 30's.

So, instead of an ambulance ride they brought me to my kitchen and made me a peanut butter sandwich and then retested me. Levels went up and I did feel much better.

The docs at the hospital where I had the surgery have me on like 30 pills a day - I think they need to do some dosage tweaking. :yeah:

Otherwise, I think things are going okay. It mat be a month or so before I can get shooting again and breaking will be another month after that. I am chomping at the bit.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY: My friend, (legendary Larry Ross) asked that I call him with an update after my surgery.and the day after I returned home, I made that call. To my astonsishment, he was at the same NYC hospital that I was and likely in the same cardio care section. If I only kew, we could have passed the time talking some pool.

I was in a room with a $10M view of the East River and the active helipad. I couldn't have cared less about that.

I would have enjoyed pool stories with Larry, though. :thumbup:

In the day or two prior to my admission, az was having a tech issue and they had the site completely down. That prevented me from providing a heads up on here for another friend and great az'er Cliff az boradriver, who also needed some heart work done. He apparently had a stress test that didn't look great and so he had to do another cath lab and he has now added another stent to his collection.

A big wish for these two guys to be well and recover fully.

And thank you all sincerely for the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way.

Very appreciated!

best,

Good to talk with you the other day Brian and glad your home and recovery is going well. Also very glad Larry is on the mend and wishing him a speedy recovery.
I got to play a few hours the other night at Snookers and felt good just a bit tired. Hopefully your hitting them soon as well.
I'll give you a call later in the week.

Speedy recovery, Chicken!...

I had a pool player friend of mine who had a bypass... wasn't doing too well, so a few of us went to see him in the hospital. One of 'em said = "You're not quitting pool are you?..
I thought I saw your Szamboti at the pawn shop for $500 !"
He's all "Szamboti ?! WHERE??" That got him going!

Just think how it'll feel when you get on a Gold Crown, back in the corner by yourself,
and you sink that first shot. There it is.....
 
Brian, you're missing out on our NFL action :p

Get well soon my Friend and I'll hold your spot. :thumbup:
