I thought you should know

I thought you should know, between Vybhav and myself there are some serious personal issues that will prevent us from responding to anyone in a reasonable time.

I (Matt) am having serious health issues and am going through a number of tests over the next couple of weeks. Fortunately it's not a crisis situation, but that may change by the end of this week. I'll be in and out of here this week off and on.

Vybhav's father is in critical condition and as you can imagine is deeply concerned, he too will be unavailable. My thoughts and prayers are with Vybhav and his family.

Matt Olieman

I want to thank those who responded with your support and kind words. :)

Vybhavs' situation has not changed.

I've been lying low, no stress allowed and activities in general are to be kept to a minimum, Dr.'s orders. I'll find out from my Cardiologist tomorrow about my next step, I know the minimum will be Cardiac Cath. with stents. I'm hoping that's all.

But that's not the only thing. I've got serious back problems in the cervical and lumbar regions. Fractured vertebrae, spurs and narrowing of the space between the vertebrae and in the Lumbar region and pressure on the nerve canal at several locations. Needless to say I'm in pain. Surgery is the only answer to this, but can't do anything about it until the Cardiac situation is corrected. Back surgery will be at least a few months away.

Anyway that's my story, for now.

Again my thanks and appreciation for your continued support.

Hey Matt,

wish you all the best, mycockpit.org should go to the backround now for you, health comes first....
hope you recover swiftly and fully.

Vybhav,
strenght to you too in these difficult times ahead...

Well.... I dodged the bullet, "Big Time." I couldn't believe it when they told me while I was on the table.... "90% blockage in one artery (Circumflex) and 99% in a distal branch." My Dr. was able to open the Circumflex 100% with a stent and the distal branch with performing a angioplasty, opening it 100%. No damage to the heart and no other blockages.... YES!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

I'll take it one step at a time and see how it goes before I jump in at "Full Steam Ahead," so bare with me guys :)

I want to give all of you my gratitude for your support. I received much PM/emails wishing me well, which helped give me strength. THANK YOU!!!!!

Matt Olieman

Very good to hear Matt, take your time.

JWS

Wow! Great news, Matt.
