Bwana Six-Gun Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Found out yesterday that I have to go in and have my Right Carotid (sp) artery cleaned out. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Wife and kids are pretty upset, even though I have told them I am too young, too good-looking, and too ornery to die or have any other problems, plus it is basic routine surgery. They just don't understand. I will be back on line in a couple of days, and if I am not, then best wishes to all the BENOS Forum members. I have never known a better bunch of people. Bwana Six-Gun AKA Pat DeBerry. P.S. When all goes well, I expect to see a lot of you at the MS Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bwana, sometimes life brings us to a point of vulnerability. Perhaps this is a gift, to remind us of the dear things. The only things that really matter. Best Wishes, Friend! -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 My mom had one of her carotids reamed (prior to a knee replacement) and it was altogether routine. She used to get dizzy every time she bent over and I told her she probably had blocked arteries. Of course she didn't believe me... until the doctor told her the same. I told her the surgery would relieve the dizziness. She didn't believe that, either. But the dizziness subsided completely after the procedure. Still, it's a routine thing and many people have it done. Good luck to you and we'll send good thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I just got a call from Pat's wife and he's doing fine. They're keeping him overnight tonight but she said he's resting and expects to be released to come home in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
