All,
Greetings from CT. Just an update for you on my Dad. Dad made it though Hurricane Sandy (our beach areas were decimated) and into the winter months before he needed bypass surgery at Bridgeport Hospital here in CT. He was in the ICU for storm NEMO thank God (4 feet of snow all at once, at work 36 hours straight and snowed out of my house for 2 days). He had the beating heart procedure with a triple bypass and he has done well with only a minor bout with pleurisy. He continues to recover not nearly as fast as he thought. He has some residual CHF and shortness of breath and frequently gets tired. He has to contend with the damage done from the 2003 LAD heart attack. This heart attack in 2012 would have been moderate for most people all by itself. It was for this reason, his life was truly on the line when you got to him.
He is alive because of you guys. He can be grumpy all he wants!
He continues to be followed at Dr. Levy’s suggestion, by Dr. Zarich who is the Chairman of Cardiology here at Bridgeport Hospital. Like Dr. Levy (who put the fear of ‘Bajeezus’ into Dad about taking his medicine and being compliant), “Dr. Z” actually has time to spend with his patients because he is the boss and resides in the hospital. This was a good call by Dr. Levy (The Hammer of Thor).
Please continue your efforts to send us a picture of “our crew” with the plane?
My mom is carrying on about that.
You are always in our thoughts and prayers guys.
Continue to be safe and take care of yourselves and YOUR families.
Michael Rickard, BS, PM-Lic.
