Asking for prayers or positive vibes today for my friend, Tom.

He went to the hospital by ambulance 3 days ago, and today he is having an exploratory procedure INSIDE his heart. They will go in through a vein in his arm, look around to try to figure out what is wrong, and if they find anything, they will try to fix it.

ANY prayers or positive vibes would be greatly appreciated!!!

My prayers are with him. It's giving me bad flash backs of Vickie. If he has to have any bypasses I pray they hold up better than hers did. She had a top notch surgeon but weak veins.

@4meAndyou I feel lucky. I had a bad case of costochondritis with a lot of chest pain and was taking 800mgs of ibuprofen 3 times a day. How i didn't get an ulcer I don't know. But that inflammation is caused by stress as far as I know and when I got divorced it all went away. And this was my first wife and and a stress free divorce. I can't explain it but obviously something about was subconsciously eating at me. I never held any I'll toward her but done was done. I learned that she passed away in November 2020. We were the same age so she was 66. I'm guessing it was covid from what her brother in her eulogy. He said after a sudden short illness shortly after moving to North Carolina. The timing for covid would have been right

@Gibbon I had costochondritis once. It's an inflammation of the lining between your lungs and your rib cage. It's sometimes caused by coughing. I was still smoking cigarettes when I got it.
