August 30, 1991, Another Crash!
Utah valley Regional Medical
Center. What? Back In the hospital? No not me. I am here with Jay.
Some one said, "When It rains it pours." Perhaps it was the
Morton Salt Company. The one with the box with a little girl under an umbrella, a box of
salt under her arm slowly leaking out the salt. Anyway, It has poured on us a
bit. This has been our summer's fun. So we have the privilege of enjoying
modern man's miracles the technology of medicine once again. How about a
totally blocked right aorta and an 80 to 90 percent blockage in the others. He
never had pain, just a smothering step on his chest like an elephant
footprint. We debate as to what to do. Balloon surgery or by pass surgery. It was most difficult to
cage a very free roaming animal and expect him to lie still and be told what he
should do. As he laid there still free but trying to obey doctor's orders. He
fought fences closing around. Not to become an invalid, not to become
vegetated, No, he fought and his first impulse won. Submit to the balloon,
delay the other as long as possible.
Often we must reach out in faith, holding only to it. And so faith
won out. Dr. Asey was uncertain he could balloon past a thoroughly closed artery—but he
did—with all our faith and prayers being answered. And the caged animal will
now be free, under supervision of course!
He was in good shape before, but
will most likely be in much better shape now.
Wow! I hope I can run fast enough to keep up with him.
