Anyone know exactly what sort of procedure he is going to have?

"This is an update on Richard. His catheterization was done today. It revealed that 3 of the arteries were blocked. So tomorrow Wed. at 12:00PM he is scheduled for a triple bypass. He will be in the hospital until Monday. He will be off work for about 5 weeks. He is taking this all in stride. We will see what tomorrow brings. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. I'll try to post tomorrow. His wife, Carol Tolson"

Update on Richard from his wife:

"This is the update #2 on Richard. He has surgery took about 7 hours. He is currently in the Cardiac ICU. He will be there until he is ready to come home (about 4 or 5 days). He is on many monitors and is doing well . He is being well cared for. Due to the severity of his condition and the need for extra of rest, I would like to request that people send well wishes, and prayers though facebook. I would also like to request that people not come visit him at the hospital. I understand that many people would like to visit but this is a time he needs to heal and rest. Thank you for your great understanding and all your concerns. I will try to keep you posted. His wife Carol Tolson"

Heart surgeries are nothing short of miraculous now. 22 years ago they could do wonders, now they can even greater wonders. No one has to die from heart blockage any more if caught early enough. I wonder if he sustained any heart damage from infarction? If not, then he will be as good as new, literally. He will be way much better then he was prior to the surgeries. There should be nothing short of crossing against the street light to keep him from living a long and productive life. I am pulling for him.

[ginosifu]

I spoke with him on the phone briefly today. He sounds in good spirits, however I did not probe him for any details. Everything is going slow, but no problems.... and on his way to recovery.

Friends, it is very heart-warming to hear your well-wishes!

This hit us out of the blue. Though diabetes and heart disease runs in both sides of my family, I had no idea that the main artery that fed my heart was 99% closed.

I Had been training much more vigorously in anticipation of my trip to China in June.

It was then that I started experiencing minor chest pain. LOoking at how severely damaged my heart was before bypass surgery, I see now that I may not have survived the trip.

So, now it back to more healthy eating habits and several months of physical recovery.

Thank you for being there!

And thanks especially to Gino! As a student, friend and kung fu brother, he has alwaya represented the best values practiced by kung fu men around the world!

[ShaolinDan]

Great to see you're doing ok. All about being patient now. Too bad about your China trip... Rest hard.

Several people in my life have had heart surgury recently. Some had a family history of heart disease and some it hit them out of the blue (no family history, no bad eating habits etc). It a serious issue for me since I will be 50 this coming January and heart disease runs in my family.

Bad eating habits / poor eating choices make us more prone to plaque / platelet build up even though we may be exercising and doing kung fu etc.

Hang in there Richard, fewer jelly doughnuts and more brocoli. Take my advise and try not to eat to much of that hospitol food.... it'ill kill ya! Recently my father had 2 Heart attacks, Mom had 1, wife Anita had 3 kids in the last 5 years so I have eaten a lot of hospitol food recently. Stuff is worse than eating at Burger King everyday for lunch.

Glad everything went well! My dad had quad bypass 15 years ago. Did wonders for him. Here's to your continued recovery!
