Jim...Carpenter...Macek Heart ByPass!!!!


Folks...Jim is a friend my family met when we first moved to Kansas. His daughter was tutored by my daughter Shannon. He has done ALL of the home improvements on our little house above the prairie in Shawnee. He is a hunter supreme. He shares his special game preparations. He is a great guy...even though he is a Jayhawk! Please read on...and while you do...say a prayer for a great, young guy who just got remarried one month ago! Thanks...Bock.

I just got a call from Jean, Jim’s sister. He asked her to call because he can’t be here to tile this week-he’s having heart by-pass surgery today! He’s only 42-the family is shocked, since he’s probably the fittest of the bunch. He didn’t see this coming. He’d been tired, and his normal Dr. didn’t think it was anything worth investigating, other than thinking maybe acid reflux was causing his sore throat. Jim wasn’t satisfied, so on the recommendation of a friend, he saw a Dr. at KU Med. Center. This Dr. found classic symptoms of heart disease, and found 3 blockages, 90-95% blockage is what Jean said. So, the surgery was scheduled right away.
