Roger Poirier update....
I have this over at Musclerides and Lateral-G, but for those that don't get over there, here is an update.
For those that know Roger or who met him at Pigeon Forge last year you may or may not know, Roger has been battling a few health demons throughout the years. Lately he just discovered that he has heart disease as well as an arythmia problem. He went in to have a procedure done earlier this year but it didn't take so he has to go back in on March 17th to have it redone. I was with Roger the whole time at Pigeon Forge as we drove down together and he was a real trooper in the face of all his health limitations. A lot of times he would have to sit on the ground if we were standing around talking because his back couldn't take it. I dropped him a line yesterday and he's still down and out but trying to keep his spirits up. I guess the arythmia problem is really kicking his ass and he told me last Sunday he actually passed out. Just wanted to give everyone an update on his situation as he has not been able to get online for some time now. He's a real good guy and I wish him well on the 17th.

Roger will be in my prayers, I've had acouple of heart procedures myself, including stints in two arteries. A lot of the time it's the meds they have you on kicking your a** more than the condition. If they correct the problem and then get the meds regulated properly he'll be much better.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Hey Roger, we briefly met at the Pigeon Forge event. It was good meeting you there and we'd be somewhat remiss if we didn't take this opportunity to say again that you are a GREAT PHOTOG!
Hope things go well for you with this next visit. Hope to see you at the next PF event!

I met Roger at the body shop while his car and my car were being redone.
You're a great guy, Roger. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hang in there Roger. I know all about heart problems, medications and surgery. My son probably had one of the most studied heart conditions in the last 40 or so years. He wasn't supposed to make it. He's 16 now.
There's some really good medications out there. Good procedures too.Tony Langlois
