    He's already pretty far under the radar the way he operates. I'm just hoping he didn't punch out his doctor after being told a bad bedpan joke.

    Unfortunately I am an expert with open heart surgery, having had two already and I will require another in 25 years, although I am hoping there will be advances that allow for something less invasive. They get you up and moving that same day and it is now like 3-4 days in the hospital and they push you out.

    Heart surgery patients do need help and support at home for a couple weeks and if you are a person that lives alone and doesn't have anyone to help you, you will go to a rehab facility first for probably a week or so. That is kind of what I thought we might hear about Mickey. And maybe it still will be. Maybe he just hasn't felt up to, or felt the need to post or tweet during what is a pretty intense time. Maybe he is focused on what he should be focused on and we will still hear from him at some point. That is my positive thought.

    I sent him a text last night, but when he re-appears it'll probably be the same way he began--with a tweet.

    I avoided posting on this thread because it has become a garbage dump. Those of us who know and love Mick have reached out to him and are worried for him. And Rob I know you are included because the man never shared his contact info with most unless he respected you.

    Hopefully this is a small bump in his road.

    Love and miss you Mick.

    That is wonderful news. Continued well wishes for Mickey and a quick, strong, full recovery. And thanks for keeping us posted Rob since I am not on Twitter and don't check too regularly.

    Glad to hear it. Thought he was a goner for sure.
    Hang in there Mickey. We'll keep the machines warm for you.

    Mickey's latest tweet says "zooming up and down the halls with a walker. Retiring from full-time play".

    Go get em Mickey!

    The walker comment may mean that he is recovering from heart surgery. Speculation, but consistent with that. Maybe Mickey will be here soon sharing some of this journey. Or maybe he will chose not to. As a fellow heart surgery comrade I am interested to hear other war stories.

    AS for retiring from Full-time play. That seems carefully worded. Like he will be cutting back. From his most enjoyable travel thread, it seems like he has really been racking up the hours and miles the past couple of years, so slowing down and enjoying life might be just the ticket.

    Continued best wishes on your recovery Mickey.

    On WOV, they said that what Mickey is doing after a heart attack is not a good sign. "Zooming up and down the halls with a walker," I guess maybe Mickey should be lying in bed for the most part after such a serious thing as a heart attack, not zooming, but I will admit that the thought of Mickey zooming up amd down halls does make me smile.

    Those comments at WoV are absolutely 100% wrong. I am guessing those making the comments never had open heart surgery (and wouldn't wish it on them). One commentor did say he knew someone that had it 20 years ago. Things have changed a lot in 20 years, including post surgical plans. Now a-days they get you up and walking (just a couple steps) the same day you had surgery.

    The "zooming up and down the hall" is usually about a 3 or 4th day after surgery time frame, although, I really shouldn't say "usually", because each patient is different and responds differently. Since Mickey's "zooming" comment was 9 days after his ICU tweet the timing seems a little off, but we really don't know exactly when or even if he had surgery. Perhaps there was a delay of several days for some reason. I will be interested to hear Mickey's timeline and war stories.

    Mickey's "zooming" comment did bring back a memory for me that made me chuckle. I forget if it was my first or second day after surgery. I think the first day I might have just walked across the room several times so maybe it was the two days after surgery. It was my first day of walking the hall. And I can tell you I wasn't "zooming" that first day. I was playing the part of the turtle. Every step slow, methodical and painful. But there was an old fellow, probably 80 that was quite a number of days removed from his heart surgery (it was the cardiac Unit), and boy he was "zooming". He barked at me to get out of his way. "Something like move a side sonny". I didn't think it all that humorous at the time though.

    Recovery from heart surgery depends on many things and there can be set backs. 2 days after going home, I was back at a cardiac rehab facility for a couple days with a set back. Everybody is different. But the best results are those that take it very seriously, work hard through rehab and fight through the pain and discomfort to get back. And while I don't know Mickey personally, from what I do know of him, I would bet he will that is exactly what he will do. He will fight like hell to get his life back. I wish him well.

    You always seem to make any and every person's personal situation all about you.

    Have some respect kew....stop thinking anyone cares even the slightest about what you have to say.

    Shut the fuck up Rob. Stop being so hateful with every topic.

    This thread isn't about me it is about Mickey. But I can share my experience going thru similar.

    I appreciate someone with firsthand experience filling in the details.

    A lot depends upon the damage to the heart. if you go in for a by-pass or stent before having had a heart attack, your recovery and your post-op will be different than if you had a heart attack and suffered some damage. For example, Kewl didn't have a heart attack before his procedure (if I recall), and probably was up and moving fairly quickly. After a stent you walk out of the hospital and begin exercise the next day. After by-pass, they try to get you up and moving the next day or at worst 2 days. Actual rehab is a few weeks later. It also differs based upon your general health and fitness of course. I will assume that Mickey had some degree of damage or he would have been up and around sooner. Either way, rehab and what you put into it is of the utmost importance. Mickey being a tough guy will hopefully kick ass.

    Now THIS is useful input when it's not turned into being all about the poster, like kew always does. He can't STAND it when anybody gets more attention than him.

    My Dad had a QUINTUPLE bypass in his 70's! The second day he was hugging the teddy bear. The third day he was zooming up and down the hall and since he had a monitor they came looking for him and told him he might take a break. "Why? I wanna go home." He was a tough WWII vet.

    Slingshot, now a days they give each patient a pillow, often in the shape of a heart. That damn pillow become your new best friend for a few week. It stableizes your chest against every painful breath, cough and God for bid...sneeze.
