Jesus Christ...
She's lucky as hell to be breathing right now.
You guys have my thoughts and prayers.
Might be luck. Might be that the Creator has a plan for V and Key and they have yet to finish it. Either way, you are always in my prayers
Posted by og at September 5, 2009 8:02 PMGlad to hear that Key is recovering. May that recovery be speedy and complete. God Bless.
Posted by kdzu at September 5, 2009 8:17 PMHoly crap! My best to youse guys, especially Key.
Posted by Jim - PRS at September 5, 2009 8:22 PMPrayers for a speedy recovery.
Tell Ms. Key that I'm sending her well wishes.
Wow. Not many survive an aortal anuerysm (my dad survived two).
Best wishes, and I've sent those prayer thingers out for both of you.
Posted by serr8d at September 5, 2009 9:58 PMThat is scary shit! That's what took my dad, and he was gone in a matter of seconds. If I understood correctly, though, a repair job really does eliminate the problem for good. Here's hoping Key is all better soon!
Posted by PeggyU at September 5, 2009 10:02 PMDear sweet Savior, but that's scary shit. I'm with Og on this: there's a Plan in all this. . . or at least a pony.
Best prayers and thoughts for Key and everyone that loves her.
Posted by Joan of Argghh! at September 5, 2009 11:52 PMAs I have already communicated to you through Other Means, the Missus and I are praying for the lovely Miz Key. May she have a speedy and complete recovery.
An aortic aneurysm is Scary Bidnis... in fact, it doesn't get much scarier than that. But the old adage goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," which, God willing, means that Key will henceforth be very, very strong indeed.
Posted by Elisson at September 6, 2009 12:21 AMFound my way here via Big Dick.
That's similar to the kind of thing that killed John Ritter. He had an aortic dissection, where the layers of cells in his aorta started peeling away from one another till it finally burst. That was caused by hypertension and high blood pressure.
I'm not sure if your soul mate is out of the woods just yet, but I'm praying for her. Hang in there, man.
In the meantime, load up on CoQ10, Red Yeast Rice Extract and B-Complex vitamins. Potassium and Magnesium supplements don't hurt either. I take all these things I just mentioned, along with Omega-3 flax seed oil.
Posted by OrangeNeckInNY at September 6, 2009 12:54 AMMay this only make the bond between the two of you stronger. And all adversaries and hurdles life sets before you will seem trivial in comparison.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Posted by Guy S at September 6, 2009 1:32 AMPlease tell Key that I hope she feels 100% better very soon.
Posted by zonker at September 6, 2009 4:37 AMTell Key to heal quickly.
Otherwise she won't be able to muster the proper level of denunciation when banishing you to the goat shed, due to inability of the feed system to maintain proper pressure.
Regards,
Ric
Let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for y'all. Give KeyBaby my best...
Posted by Sam at September 6, 2009 8:03 AMHOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! She's way too young for that sort of thing to happen... I wish you both all the best...
Posted by rob sama at September 6, 2009 8:29 AMDamn. Damn. Damn.
May that huge flock of guardian angels continue to keep watch on both of you.
Jeez, man. Very glad she's okay. My sincerest best wishes to you both.
Y'know, it occurs to me once more that the best time to start counting one's blessings is always right friggin' now. If not five minutes ago. It can never be too soon, and you sure don't want to wait til it's too late.
Posted by Mike at September 6, 2009 10:26 AMYikes! I don't have a crystal ball, but that's not supposed to happen, dangit!
Glad she's recovering; prayers headed her way!
Posted by pam at September 6, 2009 10:33 AM... you guys are in our thoughts...... and may she get well soon, big guy....
Posted by Eric at September 6, 2009 10:59 AMPlease accept and send my very best wishes to Key. You both are in my thoughts.
Posted by skippystalin at September 6, 2009 12:09 PMPraise God you were where you were at the time!
Thank God for the genius of the Doctor you had available.
Rejoice that God allowed you to remain together.
Amen
And be certain to keep us up to date with her progress.
Posted by dick at September 6, 2009 1:49 PMJust got back into town with a sour hand and bad news seems to abound ever still.
You begin to wonder just how long one can travel with your posterior cradled under one arm. I, for one, am tired of constantly straining to pick my freshly stomped ass from the dusty ground. The payback for quiet perfection is becoming entirely too hefty.
Best to you and yours. My thoughts are with you guys.
Posted by Andy at September 6, 2009 2:45 PMWhen this is behind you a distance, perhaps you could write an account of your experience with our "crappy" healthcare system.
It seems the legislators only want to air stories that back up their agenda. The success stories don't interest them.
I think it might be good to get a site going that shares positive experiences. In their rush to "fix" the problems, our government risks compromising the aspects of our system that are outstanding.
Posted by PeggyU at September 6, 2009 4:19 PMPleased to hear that it seems there is a happy ending to the scary part. How awful you both must have felt!
Wonder if we'll be able to tell when you start fulfilling all those promises you made?
Here's good thoughts and prayers to both of you for a wonderful recovery.
Posted by Kath at September 6, 2009 4:25 PMBig hugs, prayers, and thoughts to you two. I know all too well what it's like to go through something seriously life threatening with a loved one. Super freaky scary. Take care of her, and don't forget to take care of yourself too. ((Big Hugs))
Posted by DogsDontPurr at September 6, 2009 4:50 PMI have no doubt that under your care and attention, she'll be back in fighting trim in no time, ready to lay waste to the first ignorant, unsuspecting wag that makes a "bleeding heart" crack.
Best to you both.
Posted by apotheosis at September 6, 2009 5:13 PMUnusual in someone that young I'd have thought. Best wishes to both of you.
Posted by stephen_mc at September 6, 2009 7:33 PMPlease give Key my best. Good Lord. I'm sick for her. I know three people now that have had this... and Key's the only one that made it.
I'm going to be quoting your Emory/Harvard quote. My bil graduated from Emory. He'll get a kick out of that.
Posted by Bou at September 6, 2009 10:18 PMSounds like you have some pretty good angles with you both. Our prayers are with the both of you and for a speedy recovery. I would go absolutely crazy with worry if my honey were in Key's shoes.
Posted by John at September 6, 2009 11:11 PMI'm glad to hear Key is expected to be alright. Give her my best, and take it easy Hombre...
I've been appreciating your scribbles for quite a few years.
My prayers go out for you and Key.
Glad you got her to the medics and they were able to perform the miracles enabled by the greatest medical availabliilty on the planet.
MySweeetPatootie survived a brain anuerism two years ago. They fixed it by snaking tools and supplies through her arteries into her brain.
Much less disruptive than hacking her skull open with an axe.
Good thing we have the HopenChange team working to fcuk that up for us.
Be well and endure, with our prayers.
May both of you heal to 100%
Posted by james old guy at September 7, 2009 9:10 AMGood Lord!
I hope she heals to better than ever.
You never know how strong your faith until you're losing someone you love. All of a sudden, we have every faith in prayer. I know all about it.
When someone so young faces their maker, it can change their life forever.
God Bless.
Posted by jmflynny at September 7, 2009 4:31 PMI'm truly sorry you two had to go through such rough waters, but am glad to hear of the better news.
I wish you both the best.
Posted by Patton at September 7, 2009 9:45 PMTake care of my baby and give her our love.
Rick
Posted by recondo32 at September 7, 2009 9:46 PMThat's INCREDIBLE! You've given up on the DAWGS!!
Posted by Casca at September 8, 2009 3:03 PMGood gawd-a-mighty, she is lucky to be alive.
All the best to you two.
Holy cow! I'm glad they were able to treat her.
Praying for a full & speedy recovery.
Day-um that's scary. I'm glad she's doing better and that our horrible health-care system is cutting-edge enough to bring her back from the brink.
"ready to lay waste to the first ignorant, unsuspecting wag that makes a 'bleeding heart' crack."
...and me with my moniker... don't hurt me!
Posted by dicentra at September 9, 2009 3:56 AMBest of wishes for a speedy recovery to Key and strength to you.
Posted by keeskennis at September 10, 2009 12:03 PMMy best to the both of you. Prayers and thoughts from a complete stranger, who immensely values your talent. BTW, the book was great. My wife is from Stone Mountain (now we live in Cleveland) and her parents are down near Greensboro (Reynold's Plantation), so the places all were very familiar to me. Georgia 44 is a special road for us. Anyhow, God bless and good luck.
