I'm so sorry that I haven't been back on the board. I received some very bad news Thursday. Saw my cardiologist & he said it's time for the heart valve repair or replacement. To be honest I'm in a state of shock. Thought I'd have about 2 years for it.

I see the surgeon on the 5th of August to get a confirmation. It sounds though like a sure thing.

The sadest part for me is no Rowe's sale, no Louisville or working w/ calves. It's been hard anyway as bad as I've felt.

Please pray for me & my family. Also just be patient w/ me over the next several months, I'll try & check in as well as I can..

Love to all

Red aka Cathy

Dang, it's always when we're not quite ready for it, isn't it?  You'll be in all of our prayers and thoughts.  You'll be amazed how good you'll feel after it's repaired/replaced.  I think we sometime don't realize how punky we feel until we don't feel that way any more!  We'll behave extra well here for you!!  <party>

We'll be patient with Red because Red is going to be our patient!  We'll send you our best "Good Ju-Ju" and you know that even though we aren't going to be camping at your doorstep,  (That could be a blessing) we are always just a call away if you need someone to talk to. 

The Planet will have to keep on spinning without you for a while but I am sure that everyone will keep up the good posting honor that you have worked so hard to maintain.  I will use my FABULOUS sense of humor (har har) to keep you entertained and I am sure that Knabe will offer some betwixing conundrum to keep your brain sharp. 

You just be assured that we are all pulling for you...EVEN DARBY!!!!! <party>  Hugs and more hugs.

Best wishes Red. I know that the SP family will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I know your plans have to be set aside for the time being, but it is much more important to get your health back to normal. Hope you can stop by the planet once in awhile just to let us know how you are doing.

One of my closest neighbours had a heart valve replacement several years ago and I was totally amazed how quickly she was back home. She still says it totally changed her life in many good ways. She had a replacement valve from a pig put in her heart, and she says it works extremely well except she has one problem in that she wants to root in her garden all the time.Best wishes Red... and take care!

Red, You're like an angel among us!

My dad had his first heart surgery at 43, and was told he had less than a 10% chance of seeing 50.  Now 84, he has been opened up four times, and cut from his throat to his lower abdomen.  He's slow now but still going.  For encouragement, please look at Job 11: 17-19:

Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.  You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.  You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
