For those of you who believe in prayers, I could use a few. I am going in the hospital in the morning for heart surgery. Not sure yet what all that entails and neither does the surgeon but last week I spent 4 days in the hospital. Actually I was in 3 different ones in a 24 hr. period. I went in with stomach pains and they found I had a blockage in the small intestine. I have 4 hernias in the stomach wall and it seems that the small intestine somehow got pinched in one of them. They were getting ready for surgery when they noticed some PVC's showing up on the heart monitor. they did an echocardiogram and found the heart is only pumping at 25%. They know I have one blockage at 80% in the back of the heart for sure. Only way to get to that is remove the heart completely. Surgeon suspects blockages elsewhere. Told me he is expecting the worse and hoping for the best. He is going to start with the angiogram and locate and repair. May get by with bypasses and may have to do a heart valve. Anyway, when it comes to the heart, I am scared shitless. So if you can, send some prayers my way. Thanks,Bill
