Prayers needed for Donn & Kim Rhode
 

Donn underwent a triple bypass yesterday, though the surgery went well, this morning he's had a stroke. I'm staying in touch via phone with his wife Kim, and will post any changes.

My wife had five bypasses, then a stroke in the recovery room. We were told that a piece of the crap that collects in the arteries, which neccestated the bypasses, breaks loose, and clogs veins, causing the strokes. Happened during the surgery, when the artery was cut. Sad deal.
I hope he recovers well.

Thoughts are with Donn & Kim Rhode

I'm older and come in contact with a lot of people undergoing valve repair or bypass surgery. Think long and hard about it especially if you are older than eighty. It is common for plaque or other material in your arteries to come loose and travel to your brain. Thus a stroke.

If your doctor tells you that you have no choice, well.

Often, something can be done before you get too that point. I see so many people in their twenties that are nothing more than "time bombs". For sure they'll never need to worry about collecting social security.
