As Usual, Some Excitement…

Back from the hospital. When the doctor went in to insert Stent No. 3, he discoved a tear in the artery that could have come open at any time, rendering me, uhm, well, lifeless. He wound up inserting three stents rather than one. Apparently the strategy worked, as I’m still alive to type this.

I got very lucky again.

    Glad to hear it. I mean that you’re alive, not that you had a tear.
    Do let us know if that status changes.

    That sounds good in a bad way (or is that bad in a good way?). Regardless, I think it is save to say that we all are glad that you are NOT “lifeless” and that’s not only because we hope that you continue to write Dr. Fate for quite some time.

    Get better soon.

    Everything happens for a reason, something you were worried and fretting about turned into something very fortunate indeed. Glad to hear you are on the mend!

    Okay, you’re off the hook for not posting anything for three days. This time.

    I’m glad you’re on the mend, Steve. Recover well, please.

    Just curious, with the end of the year coming and quite a crazy year behind you, what’re you hoping to check off this time next year on your resolution list?

    Glad you’re still here, Steve. Take care of yourself (and the cat).

    You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
    It’ll have to be the subject of a post all its own.

    We’re all thankful that you seem to be getting great care from your doctors. Let’s hope 2007 leaves you in better health.

  12. Alex Krislov Says:

    Steve, you’re not allowed to let this sort of thing happen to yourself. I mean it. Stay in good health or we’ll have to report you to the proper authorities. Oh, and happy Chanukkah. (This is from Robin, too.)

    Glad to read that you’re on the mend! I hope that you’ll have a litle less anxiety now.
