February 16th i celebrated my one year anniversary.
Anniversary of what? My open heart quadruple bypass surgery.
Doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by already.
All the outpouring of love by the people here really helped me through a very tough time.
Even today, I have pain from where they chopped me open. Not horrible pain, just kind of a reminder of what happened.
Again, I thank all of you that were there for me, and for the Wii that you got for me!
I'm STILL enjoying that ALOT! :thumbright:

February 16th, eh? I guess Cupid's arrow really dug deep that time. Some Valentines Day gift!

We're just happy you're still with us, old buddy.

You know what? At the time, I didn't even REALIZE that it happened during Valentine's day. I didn't realize it till THIS Valentine's day.
My wife was sure I was gonna die. Her Dad died February 18th 1994, and my brother 6 days after on the 24th. So she figured of all the months for that to happen to me, It was gonna be my "check out" day.
But i FOOLED her! I'm still here! LOL!

Alan's open-heart surgery was performed on the 16th, but his heart attack no doubt started a day or two prior, as physicians try to exhaust all other possible treatment options before going to the extreme of something as dangerous as open-heart surgery.

Yup......i went into the hospital on the 13th (Friday the 13th, of all days) and had the heart catherization done. I did NOT expect to be staying in the hospital. I figured they might find maybe one small blockage, put a stent in, and i'd be home the next day.
Boy....was I wrong! 6 blockages. They wouldn't let me go home, and they couldn't operate. I had too much blood thinner in me, and would have bled to death. So they put me on nitroglycerin, and bed rest till Monday the 16th, when they opened me up.
So that's how I missed Valentine's day. I also was supposed to go to the auto show that Sunday, to see Adam West (Batman) the 1966 Batmobile, and George Barris, the guy who made the Batmobile. I was SOOOO bummed. I had been looking forward to that for months. I tried to talk the doc into letting me out, but he said I was in "VERY critical condition" and wouldn't let me out.
So it was a bad weekend for me all the way around. But hey, I'm still here. (Some might see that as a positive.......a few.....at least)

Way to go Cheesey. You fooled everybody including the nurses at Columbia Hospital. It's amazing what they can do today in medicine and repairing the human body. I'm living proof also. I'm not sure about your body though. I heard through the Columbia Hospital grapevine (Juan the janitor on the ICU floor) that when they went in all they found were old joke books, some Far Side cartoons, and a Karaoke machine primed and ready to go.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

beast (4h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (8h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (10h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (20h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (20h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
