Bob, Just remember to hug that pillow when you need to cough/sneeze.
Good luck on your recovery. BTDTABTTS. It's been about 1.5 years for me since I had my bypass. God bless.

Those small "heart-shaped" pillows given to me have been as good as the painkillers. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Kopischke Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 7:24 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Bob Richards Update On Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:55:32 -0400, Richards, Robert B. wrote: >Small prayers are appreciated that I do not cough very much in the next >few weeks.

From my experience, the toughest part is about a month out. Hang in there. It's worth it. I'm also praying you're spared the urge to sneeze for the foreseeable future. I broke some ribs once. Coughs hurt, but a sneeze will push you to the threshhold of passing out. It's good to read you're in good spirits and recovering well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
