OMG!!! And here I thought you were invincible. ;)   Listen Buddy, no joking here, the Lord above was watching out for you 'cause we still need you HERE. Pay attention to the Dr.s and have a speedy recovery. You have to give up the globe trotting for a little bit but you may bounce back better than before. Or you could just hang out at the home for wayward bikers!
Good thoughts and prayers coming your way.  TM

Hey Brick.  We will be praying for your speedy recovery.  I've known several people who have had bypass surgery and the operation itself has always gone well.  The mental and emotional aftermath was a different story for my mother.  For some reason she suffered anxiety episodes after the surgery and remained hooked on tranquilizers and anti-depressants for the rest of her life.  So if you feel a bit off kilter mentally after the procedure don't sweat it, since that is more or less normal for a while.  You also have a wonderful therapy tool in your garage.  I recommend extensive 2 wheel therapy as soon as the docs allow it.  If your mental health is at stake you may need to buy another motorcycle or two.  Perhaps three in the event that you feel really stressed.

I'm with Norm, Brick. You are on a good luck stretch, methinks it will extend into a good recovery and even more good riding :)
Hang in there! Sending you good vibes and Yamalube vapes :)

Ok, which shunt has the bourbon in it! ;D You have worked out until you have no excess fat anywhere. Times may be tough right this moment, but good times are on your horizon. After all, you are still younger than me! Pam and I are in prayer for your complete recovery. I sure would like to taking one more longer trip with you, so buck up! Syd

Bummer, Dave.  That book has already been colored in.  Tell them to get you a new one.   ;D


Keep smiling and do what your doctor says!

Brick, take the drugs if you need them. It hurts to breath deeply, which is what you need to do the keep the pnumonia far away!
Did they harvest any veins from your legs, or did they use either of the 2 IMA's? (The arteries behind your sternum)
Keep positive thoughts, regardless how you feel! Concentrate on how great it will feel to walk around your own 'hood!
Be mindful of any therapy, they are there to help you....and, it works!
