Apparently i got lost in the shuffle over the Christmas Holidays and when i called to check up they apologized for losing me. My luck.
Anyway i go up to Toronto General on Thurs 13th where i spend the night and am prepped. Operation is on Fri & hopefully i will be released on Sat. to come home.
I lucked out in that the Surgeon they tell me is the best we have. He took an interest in me it seems and is going to go for 2 stents and if that goes alright possibly go for a 3rd one. Apparently that is the best they can do for me. It will be nice to get this over with and hopefully feel more energetic.
Will be here for another day, but figured i should let you know before i forgot to do so.

With luck it won't be necessary anymore Randy with better circulation and all
Of course that's asking the blood to flow an awful long distance more

Hi everybody
Just a quick note to let you know Larry made it through his operation OK.
I just talked to his sister and she told me he has to spend one more night in hospital. Something about fluids, but he is talking normal and expects to get out Monday.
He should be back on the computer by Tuesday.

Just spoke with Larry and he sounds the best I have heard in a long time. He said he was on the table for four hours, but they managed to get four stints in, and maybe more in the future.
The fluid problem turn out to be his creatinine is higher than they like. They have to wait for the kidneys to flush out all the die they used.
If Larry does not need to go on dialysis he will probably be back on the board Wednesday. We can hope. I will call him tomorrow and find out how things are going.
It is looking good and we should have him around for a few more years.
