Thank you to all my Red square friends

[BOB ELLISON 2,981]

As some of you know last year at this time I had a heart attack on October 26th 2021 and on November 1 2021 I had surgery. All they could do is put a stint in 1 artery because of my lungs.i did flat line twice. After 5 weeks in intensive care I got to go to therapy. My muscles deteriorated so much that  I lost 40 lbs . We'll because of all the x-rays and ct scans they found a aneurysm in my abdomen that was very large .

So I had to have surgery on that and a  abdominal stent was installed . Because my lungs are a problem I can't be sedated so they did a spinal block. And I'm on oxygen 24/7 so I'm not able to work on my tractors any more and I sold my beloved c160's.

I thank GOD for saving my life twice and all my wheelhouse friends for the prayers I received.

Life isn't the same when your limited but I still go to Church I'm a trustee and a Minister at my Church. 

I'm not on the site that often but I always said . THIS IS THE BEST WHEEL HORSE SITE IN THE WORLD.

And the people that run it and all the members are great friends.

Thanks to all my friends

Bob, the fact that you survived five weeks in the ICU proves that GOD was with you and the medical staff. I pray for continuing improvement in your health. Please continue to drop by Red Square from time to time to let us know how you are.

Thanks Richard

I do stop by and read some of the posts from time to time. I thank GOD every day for another day and yes he was with me everyday in the hospital. I was in great pain after the chest compressions fractured my ribs. But I'm ready to go if he says it's my time. I thank JESUS CHRIST everyday for another day with my wife and family And friends.

Thank you @rmaynard and @rjg854 for your kind words. Thanks for being good friends. The greatest gift a person can give is his friendship.

Hey Bob, what your going through is familiar, but worse than what I'm experiencing. At least my surgeon says I'll get back to normal someday...

Keep your hopes up!

Hey, Bob.  Sorry to hear you had such a rough time.  I had something similar, but not quite as involved.  Had 6 hours on by pass for open heart surgery.  I later read the surgeons report, and it scares me when I read the details.  I guess God still had plans for me to help my children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren.   Sounds like God still has plans for you also.  Keep on moving, even though we all move slower than we used to.

Hang in there Bob. Glad I got to meet and hang out with you (even if it was only for short time) at the show in 2018. This IS the best site on the internet. Glad to be a part of it and have met friends like you. I wish you the best my friend. Take care, Richie
