I just got a call from Jon, that works with Bob Johnson.
Bob has been rushed to emergency surgery this morning for a quad bypass. They did a stress test on him and took him straight to surgery. Details are fuzzy, but he had 90-99% blockage. Remember Bob and the family in your prayers, and I will update as soon as I know more.

My dad went through this in 2001, so I understand how Bob and his family feel.
Get well soon Bob.

Yes Bob, get well soon. One of my employees had a 6 way bypass a couple years ago; he was 49 at the time and is doing fine since, actually better than he had in years as far as energy level.

So Bob goes into his doctors office and he has a carrot in his nose a piece of broccoli in his ear and a celery stalk hanging out of his "exhaust pipe".
He says to the Dr. I haven't been feeling well. What's the problem.
The Dr. says, "Bob you havent been eating right"
Get well soon Bob. We miss ya!

Prayers are going out for ya Bob. My dad had an 80%+ blockage of his right coronary artery a few years ago. He's been in for 18 angioplasties. Finally had a stent installed and he successfully avoided a bypass. He got his taken care of, so I hope you do to.

I just got news that Bob made it through the surgery and is headed to recovery as I type. I should have the Doctor's report in a couple hours.
Looks like he will be down for a couple months though, should be good to go by Barrett Jackson.

I did hear from Angie (Alan's wife) Johnson and she confirmed everything looks good. The doctors said everything looks good and he should be fine. He will be out of commission for a while, but should make a total recovery. All I can say now is I feel sorry for the nurses. I am sure the word will get around very quick about Mr. Johnson.....lol
When something like this happens it just reminds us how precious life really is. I plan to run down to Gainesville the first of the week and check on Bob, I will keep everyone abreast of his condition.

Good to hear.
No more deep fried chicken wings or ice cream for you. From now on it's celery sticks, carrots, and skim milk.
I should probably get my arse in gear too. I'm 35 now and can't afford to be fat anymore.
Bill Howell
10-07-2006, 04:46 PM
Funny you should post that Tony, I just got an email saying that Bob's Doctors are putting him on a very strick diet. One egg per week and red meat once a month. Knowing Bob like I do, this will be much tougher on him than recovery from the surgery.
muthstryker
10-07-2006, 04:55 PM
i hope he gets well soon, the diet thing is very hard my dad had a heart attack when he was 38. and the diet for him ya didnt work hes back to his old habbits.

"I just want you to know that we are all counting on you!!"
Just said a prayer for you Bob. This is a great time for all of us to think things over and remember what it is all about! Not that you don't know already.
They will prolly have to give you salt peter to keep you from getting too excited and having an attack though! Hope you can get to your cup of soup soon for those "quick bursts of energy"! Just remember that you did not get that way overnight and it won't go away overnight either, do the diet and excercise that the doc's say and you will live a long happy life! Good luck and we are waiting for the next big bad car!
