Just had a call from Joe. He is up and fully functional. He is operating on his own for now. The docs will be planting a defib into him in the next day or two.
It seems there will be some small amount of heart damage. They will know more after he heals a little more. However he is still suffering from infections and other complications.
The fact that a dep sheriff was right on the scene with a portable defib was a major factor. And the EMT team got him to the docs right away. Yes it was a very close call. It seems he didn't have a heart attack as in a clot. His heart did the fibulation thing and caused a serious problem because no blood was moving.
I pray this will be the last update. Hopefully by this weekend the ol' coot will be here to rant again.
First Ol' Si a year ago and now ol Joe. I think I have a full measure of emotional swings. What do you all think?
