First, my father passes away on the 9th, then I get a phone call today from my best friends wife. Many of you know him as Joe Buckle, the BBQ master of the So Cal contingent, he is in the hospital tonight and they may admit him. I just got home from there, he is awake and says he is fine but his heart monitor says otherwise. The doctor says he is A-Fib, I am not sure what it means but I do know, it is not a good thing. We need the power of Prayer again from all of you as I dont think I could take another loss in my life this close to my father passing. For those who dont know him, he is one of those kinds of people that is rare in todays world, He is a great father of two beautiful girls, has been blessed with a wonderful and understanding wife and is the type of guy who you would be proud to call your friend. I will be going back over there tomorrow to check on him and will post up any information I get afterwords.
My prayer? Dear God, please dont take my friend. Attached thumbnail(s) |

A-fib is atrial fibrillation. It is a rapid disorganizied contraction of the smaller chambers of the heart. There are many causes. Joe will be fine although he may have to change things a little. I read that as many as 2 million people have some form of a-fib. My mom lived 30 years with a form of it before she had a day surgery to eliminate it. Wait for a diagnosis, then be around for him and support him because he may need new meds, and change his lifestyle a bit. All of that can be kind of depressing. On top of that, this scares people and sometimes they get depressed or want to withdraw because they just don't know when they'll "flip". Most people just go on with a normal life. Still I'll be praying for Joe. Dave |
