UpdateWell, it turned they'd been monitoring his condirion for a good deal longer time.
Had successful pacemaker surgery.
Phew! Hopefully several decades more for him.
TY, DU'rs! 🩷
His name is Glen. He's a good guy. She's known him since 6th grade, she's now 68.
I became friends later bc we hung out at sooo many rock concerts togther! 😄
One time we met up on Arizona; he going eastward, I heading westward, and visited the Navajo & Hopi Nations, Canyon De Chelle, and slept overnight in Monument Valley. An *amazing* adventure!
They're saying stress is affecting his heart. So he's getting a monitor for a month to see if he need a pacemaker.
Obviously, if he needs it....
But surgery, recovery, what ever (rare?) problems comes with the device. Sigh.
Any good stuff sent his way is extremely appreciated!
TIA!
