    Exclamation Update on Lone Wolf

    Hi everyone!

    I just thought that I would give everyone the latest news on Wolf''s health. Yesterday, Wolf was rushed to the hospital around 1:00PM. He suffered a heart attack and had to have immediate surgery which involved a quadruple bypass. As bad as that sounds however, he is doing well and is in the cardiac intensive care unit at the Bristol Regional Medical Center in Bristol,TN. I think that they are going to move him to a room some time today after they remove the balloon from his chest. He is alert and talking, but very sore!! I will try to keep you all posted on his progress. Local was kind enough to bring his laptop to the hospital, so that I could post this. (Thanks, Richard!) If you believe in love and prayer, please send one out for my beloved, my best friend, and one of the greatest men I've ever known.
    Love you guys,
    Gypsy

    Sleeps With Skunks and I will be praying for him. Hang in there Gypsy. Tell Wolf to get right and walk straight.
    If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!

    Tell that old curmudgeon to get back on his feet again soon. If y'all need anything, get my number from Rock and call, anytime! Many positive thoughts for a speedy recovery for LW! Did they shave his beard for the OR?

    Tell the old wolf to get better quick, I can't preach anti-shelter theology by myself. Prayers and thoughts out to you.

    Maria's dad just had a quadruple bypass. He's 83 and doing well. LW is tough as nails and will bounce right back. He's too stubborn not to. Stay strong Gypsy.

    I was wondering if getting the hat off required further surgery.

    Get well, Mr. Wolf. You've always had a big heart and a good one, let's hope they now made it a well one.

    Sorry to hear about this Gypsy, but he'll probably feel like a different person in a couple week. My dad went throught a similar situation - it's been almost 20 years ago now. 2 weeks after the surgery, he said he didn't realize how bad he felt before the operation - he felt so much better now. I'm sure LW will see the same results.

    In the meantime, I'll be throwing out the thoughts and prayers.

    It's a great day to be alive !

    Wow, hope he gets well soon...sorry to hear that. Glad to hear the surgery went well.

    Oh my. I will keep both of you in my prayers. With you at his side, I am sure he will be fine Gypsy. In a few weeks, he will feel better than he has felt in a long time.

    Take care,
