1. Oh, wow. Glad you're treated, so sorry about the job and your relative.

You take it easy. Care for yourself first for a while. It's hard with all the shit going on.

[Solly Mack]

2. Oh, golly! Hope you're feeling better.

Sorry about the job!

[hlthe2b]

3. Well, your news re: appropriate treatment and recovery is some good news in a very dark time...

But, please focus on your recovery. Sometimes you just have to compartmentalize.

[littlemissmartypants]

4. Wow! Good to see you're back. We love you! ❤️

5. I know it's easy to say, don't stress out, but it's important for you to help speed up your healing cycle. Our day in

the sun will come one day, and everything that tRUMP stood for will fall down/collapse. I can't wait for that day. Millions of us. But we will. We'll be patient, calm, and then when the time comes, everything the moron-in-chief will be dismantled one step at a time. The new president at that time should appoint an entire dept. dedicated to wiping out every trace of djt, every bit of it.

Safe journey on your healing and follow your doctor's advice. I heard that stents are good, so you might be in better shape than you have been in for a while. Don't overdo yourself.

6. Be gentle with yourself and heal well

7. Jeez uppity

You've been in the wars and so has your young rellie. Sincerely hope things pick up for you.

8. I've been there.

I had my MI at age 37, got three stents (no muscle damage!), then at 48 had a planned five-way CABG, now at 57 still ticking along.

DM me if you have any questions about my experiences or just to talk through yours. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years.

Take it easy. Try to relax. Stop reading the news for a while, maybe.

9. Good suggestion from some DU folks -- focus on the healing.

You will live to fight another day.
Hope you are financially able to relax for a while, without worrying about finding new employment.
Hope your relative is coping. A horrific thing to witness!

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Take care of yourself, uppity.

It's good to see you. How is your young relative who witnessed the shooting doing? I hope that counseling is being made available following this traumatic experience.

Power to the younger generation!

11. Hope you're doing OK. Please get well

And carry on. Hoping for better days ahead.

[barbtries]

[BumRushDaShow]

13. (((HUGS)))

Hope you recover quickly and all you can do is keep keeping on and give thanks to those who care.

14. I made up a...

'Saying' that you can have:

"Hey, I know how to have a good time!"

15. A very good friend --age 78--had a heart attack last July, two stents put in.

She was back taking dance class before the holidays.
She did have some side effects from the first blood thinner they put her on; don't hesitate to talk to your cardiologist along the way of your rehab.

Wishing you a steady, peaceful recovery. The world's crap will still be there, whether you watch it or not. Do yourself a favor and at least balance it out with some laughs.

[ms.pamela]

16. Terrible, Terrible

Good grief sums it up. A heart attack is serious and to lose your job on top of it that really is just too much. Sorry your relative had to witness the real beginning of the end of our country. Your shocked relative needs to get some therapy for seeing that awful murder. Lately been asking God why all the bad shit is happening to good people and not the other way around. Will pray for you and your family. God Bless

[Warpy]

17. Glad you're recovering

Just don't overdo--or underdo. Follow the guidelines. While the stent restored blood supply to your heart, your heart still has to do some healing.

If you're on the standard cardiac diet now, I do sympathize. I'm on the same one, only it's a renal diet instead of cardiac. Everything tastes like wet cardboard without fat and salt. Pro tip: stock up on lemons and a container of peppercorns with built in grinder from the supermarket. A few drops of lemon juice and freshly ground pepper will do wonders for the veggies you've got to eat.

As for the rest of your post, a little philosophy from Hank Williams might help:

18. I hope your recovery is going smoothly -

I'm getting to the age where my dad had his first heart attack and doing my best to cut down on the red meat and salt. I'm sure you don't need this stress. I remember working with you on MIR team years ago.

[Clouds Passing]

19. Sending you healing energy and light uppityperson 💚💛

[orangecrush]

20. Glad you made it

And wish you a swift recovery

[KT2000]

21. Isn't it amazing

what they can do now! I learned that a lot of good people do everything they can to keep you alive. Who knew - until it is your life on the line and grateful comes into the picture. Glad you are on the mend.

[peasant one]

22. wow a lot happening

Stay healthy! Talk helps, so stay in touch with young relative.

[livetohike]

23. Welcome back! Wishing you a quick recovery and

good news re job prospects .

[tavernier]

24. I wish you a very happy and healthy year.

Stop watching Trump and ICE and all that crap. I recommend only things that make you laugh and smile and make your heart heal quickly. Or go to the pound and get a dog that needs a home. You will be so loved, you won’t have time to worry about all the bs going on in the world.

Anyway, we are here for you, but maybe give politics a stress break till you are completely healed.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. "I recommend only things that make you laugh and smile and make your heart heal quickly."

Wow... that may be the first time I have seen it put that way.

And, it so eloquently shows me just how far gone I am, as I can no longer find any objects or actions that can do that for me. At all.

Wow. I have lost so much. I knew that I had, but that sentence really clarifies it for me.

[tavernier]

27. My mother died because of Waco.

She watched the coverage over and over and cried non-stop. She was never the same and died within a short time after. I’m never really sure if it had caused a stroke or some type of a mental breakdown. I wish dad had thrown the television out the window and taken her away to get her mind off of the tragic events of that incident.

Since you know “how far gone” you are from your normal self and admit that you can’t seem to get out of that, please know that there is help and healing. Please talk to your doctor or spiritual advisor or someone who can assist you in finding help. Your struggle makes me so sad and I wish you all the best.

[OldBaldy1701E]

28. Thank you.

It is not current events that destroyed my life. They are just 'icing on the cake', so to speak.

There is no help (in the US) for those who cannot afford it. That is by design. And, after years of trying, I can say that the design is working just fine.

I am sorry about what happened to your mother. I am betting she was a very empathic person.

Something that is almost unheard of these days.

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. Glad you are doing okay. (n/t)

[RandomNumbers]

29. Wishing you quick and thorough healing

I saw an article recently that uttering certain 4-letter epithets can reduce stress.

On that note -

FUCK ICE , FUCK DJT and minions , FUCK all those FUCKING SHITWADS

FUCK ICE , FUCK DJT and minions , FUCK all those FUCKING SHITWADS

FUCK ICE , FUCK DJT and minions , FUCK all those FUCKING SHITWADS

FUCK ICE , FUCK DJT and minions , FUCK all those FUCKING SHITWADS

FUCK ICE , FUCK DJT and minions , FUCK all those FUCKING SHITWADS

etc.

( I feel better already. Hope you do too!)

30. That's a lot.

We're tougher than we think.
Hugs and good wishes from me.
