Just as I was heading out to work this morning, received a phone call that the long-suffering but always valiant SheBar had been taken to the ER with cardiac arrest symptoms

It happens she was on the other side of Tampa (Brandon) for a business meeting where (as I later learned) she was given a significant job promotion that not only gives her better overall hours (Mon-Fri) but will likely give her a pay boost of 40-50%.

So after that meeting she was doing some paperwork, felt the symptoms and had colleague call the Amber Lamps.

They got her to the ER in about 20 minutes and over next two hours did three angioplastys to clear 99% blockage in three different vessels, including the LAD. Installed two stints and may yet install a third.

She's in the ICU, critical, but very stable. Blood pressure, heart rate and other vitals are all excellent

She went to sleep a while ago and I'm now jumping back and forth across Tampa Bay to get her car back over here.

As I traveled over there in a 45minute ride this morning, I made several phone calls to her and to my family members. But I was sobered to realize that I only had a handful to make to "my" friends locally.

That's mainly due to my choice of work over the past 11 years being very cyber-based. I'm grateful to have many dozens of true Friends, but nearly all of them are in other cities or countries. And probably at least half are my fraternal brothers (and a few of you sisters) here at the Rx

I know many of you utilize prayer. Others may preefer other methods of support and I welcome them all, as will my wife because she is more than aware of the many friendly casual and also business relationships I've developed with various members of the Rx community during these past eight years.

Heading out now and will provide appropriate updates as they happen

Wow Bar - hope she pulls through for ya. A woman can be, hell, is, the most important rock in most men's lives.

She's in my thoughts friend.

"Call the Amber Lamps."

@):mad:

Good to see you still have a good sense of humor about all this. It sounds like Shebar is going to be herself in no time.

Consider this a blessing that they found this out in time. Do yourself and shebar a favor and have regular checkups yourself so we have you in the NBA Forum for many more years to come.

Kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it? One day your sweating a Milwaukee cover and the next day your questioning the meaning of life.

I'll make a visit to Shebar in her dreams tonight to let her know everything is going to be ok and to let her know how much you care about her and how much she means to you.
