Thanks a lot.
Your Friend

Malty
I hope for the best for you and your wife.
Cheers
Sorry to hear that mate, hope all turns out well. You and Nancy are in my family's prayers!
QuoteYou and Nancy are in my family's prayers!
Same over here Lionel. I just translated this post/request for Keila to know.
You mentioned as "El Australiano", and Nancy is "Esposa del Australiano". We really pray for you to be in good conditions and for Nancy not to get too stressed-out. Of course, she will have to care, but she needs to know things will go right and God is there with you. All of these prayers from your forum family make god pay attention and somebody as loved as you are by all of us can only get better.
We love you mate.

Hi Forum
Thank you all for your prayers ,thoughts & Kind Words
Its been confirmed by the Surgeon that I have the 6.5cm Tear in The Aorta and its got to be fixed.
But they want to see what other arteries are blocked or perished in my Heart as well.
So up to & including 14th April I will have 3 visits to different Hospitals for Various tests & scans.
On top of that & during this time I have to see
A Heart Professor, A Pain Specialist , A Surgeon & A Company Dr.
All of this will result in either.
Its too Risky to Operate.
Or the following
Open Heart & Abdominal Surgery
Open Heart & A Special Stent placed in the Aorta.
Open Surgery on the Aorta.
Or If a miracle occurs
Just a the Special Stent Placed in the Aorta.
I want to thank you all for your Prayers it certainly is working.
My Wife has stood up to it Fantastic so far.
There is an awful lot to be done over the next 3 weeks.
And she will need your prayers to get through it all.
If after all this if it allows me to spend one more day with my Family here at the Forum & My Own Family & My Wonderful, Beautiful, Gorgeous, Ever Loving Wife,
Then I will be forever grateful to GOD.
We Love You All
Lionel & Nancy
My dear friend lionel...
I am sure that all will be very good . i know that you are strong and will cross the operation . we will see you here after and then we will have the holy grail . God will care you because all our hearts and minds are with you.
I wish you the best because you will be in very good hands mate.
Your friend,

Hey Lanky, if anybody can get through this you can mate!! Chin up champ! [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

Lanky,
We all know what its like to get a straight up loaded with chips. Well when its all over and you are recovering thats what it feels like only better. I know I've been there as I told you I've had 4 major surgeries and I had a loving family waiting for me when it was all over.
The doctor told me something I never forgot that "the people who have someone who love them waiting for them have the best chance of recovering and every reason to fight back".
Sounds to me like you have a REASON probably a few. Also something I did before the last one was to meditate. Great way to talk to God. Great way to talk to yourself.
Waltzing Matilda. Will be sending you positive thoughts.
[smiley=engel017.gif]
Thank You All
For your kind thoughts ,words, wishes & Prayers.
It certainly does help knowing that others care.
Matilda You are right sweety knowing that someone wants you to live is a great feeling.
Love to you all
Lionel & Nancy

Hi My Family at the Forum
This is the latest update on my Health.
Today the 2nd April I went & saw the Surgeon that did the Angiogram at the Hospital on the 31st March.
The results show that there is only one tear in the Aorta.
And that it can be fixed with an operation with a forked Type of Stent.
The problem is that one of the veins in the leg appears to be too short to connect the stent to so they may have to go in further past that vein to another & block that particular Vein altogether which will result in me having a pain occur in the buttock that the vein use to run into. This may cause me to have a limp & this would require that I rest it until that muscle recovers. Each time this Happens.
(Some would say That I have been a pain the arse to others for some time & I am just getting back what I gave.)(I thought I better get that in before you all jump on it . Lmao)
There is as you would imagine some real risks involved with type of Surgery.
But the risks are dwarfed by the fact that if I don't have it done.
And I will use the surgeons words Here.
"By not having the Operation Your chances of living another 18 months are very Slim"
Now there is one more hurdle that I have to get over.
And that Is when I see the Professor of Cardiology on the 8th April.
If he agrees that my Heart has 2 years or more life in it.
Then The Surgeon will Operate.
If Not then there is every possibility that the operation will NOT take place.
If the operation is to Go ahead then on the 14th April I will have to pass an entrance examination & tests to be able to be admitted to that Hospital on the 28th or 29th for the Operation.
If it does go ahead it will be approximately a 4 to 5 hour round trip for me wife.
So I stamped My feet and jumped up & down a little & now they are trying to find accommodation down there for her...of course there will be a fee for this & the rooms are in the Surgeons Words. Not too good.
But Nan says she don't care if she has to stay in a tent she is going to be there.
So Please Pray for Her during the coming weeks for her Leukaemia not to get any worse during this stressful time for Her.
Your Friend
Lanky
Alice and I are with you both all the way.
Best Regards.
Ron and Alice.
Jeez Lanky, things don't sound too good! [smiley=sad.gif] This must be so tough on both of you. I pray that God will give both of you the strength to get over this! [smiley=engel017.gif]
Keila & Myself are always concerned about you two. She asks me about "El Australiano" and I give her the update.
Mate, like I told you via MSN, I know you'll do your best and for your part, caring about yourself eating healthy and getting proper rest.
For certain, I want to tell you Lionel & Nancy:

Just shows me the kind o' winner you are Mate! You are an inspiration in all your doings. I've never met you but you are already a dear friend.

[size=14]Hi there, cobber. Your words are impressive :o
But i think what amazes me the most is your sense of humour. That alone covers for much of your needs, i am sure.
In that sense, i am happy that i act a bit like you... objective, despite the eventual (or real) adversity.
... But still able to make jokes about it and that my friend means CHARACTER.

Today I had a chat with Lionel.
He said:
QuoteOk its the 8th april at 9 am Australian time
Its the day tha the heart professor decides if my heart has 2 yrs or more life in it.
yes= operation
no=no operation
I will be better when tuesday is over
I ask that we all pray for him and for god to provide plenty of life into his heart so the doctors clearly see it can last much more than 2 years and give the "green card" to his operaton.
Like I said to Lionel at the chat:
If we all make the same exact and consice petition, "the one from above" has no other choice than hearing.Regards with love,
Victor
Hi Forum
Well some good news...
The professor has given me a Temporary pass for the Operation to go ahead.
I have to go back to hospital on the 10th for a Myocardial Perfusion Scan ( SestaMIBI) it consists of 3 tests but if I pass them it will be OK for the operation to go ahead.
They will take approx 5 hrs then I go straight to the Professor again on that day.
For another hour or so.
We want to thank you all for everything & also ask that you do the same again on the 10th.
With Your help My Wife & I will get through this .
Thanks you all once again.

You go Lanky we all pulling for you mate ;D
:thumbsup:Hey Lankers,
Told you it'll be OK Mate! :thumbsup: Last tests will be a walk in the park Mate and then it's off to giving the nursies all their days Mate! ::) Hear a nurse gives a great sponge bath Mate...hehehehahaha! :o Like my friend that had to have an eye operation (car accident). Everyone told him that while he's under the Nursies will look at his pecker! :o So what did he do? Well he took a black marker and wrote on his stomach: "Hi, I hope you like what you see!" :D
Apparently the one nurse was a bit upset the next day!!! ;D Don't know if it was the message or the sight of his pecker! ;D 8-)
You are in our thoughts and in our prayers my friend! ;)And believe me you might see me sooner than you think! Looking at businesses in Queensland. ;)

Hi Forum
Great News People.......Today I Did the 3 tests at the Hospital.
Then reported back the Heart Professor for the results.
And He has now given the all clear to have the operation on the 29th April.
By Law they now have to operate on me....which is good news.
The Professor said that even though this operation has its Risks that I have a very Good Surgeon who is more then capable of handling any & all problems that may arise from this operation.
My Wife and I want to thank each and every one of you that have been so supportive with Emails,PMs,Chats,well wishes & Prayers.
We Know that GOD did answer all the Prayers....
And as My Wife said I now have a second Chance at Life.
This has not been easy to get through ,with all the Dr's & Different Hospitals we have had to go to over the last 3 weeks. Plus being told that without the Operation I would live 18 months at the best.
I still have a Dr. to see tomorrow the 11th & then the admittance Test at the Operating Hospital on the 14th.......then we have some free days to ourselves until the 29th.
But we can say this in all Sincerity that without the Family here at the Forum it would have been a heck of a lot harder on us without Your support.
And From the bottom of Our Hearts we thank You All so much.
GOD Bless You All
Lionel & Nancy

This is great news mate! Only 15 days to go :thumbsup:
Good stuff Lanky!! Good luck mate!!
Hi Forum
Well there has been a setback.
The Hospital contacted me 3 days ago and told me my tests showed a blow out in my sugar and that my white blood cells were too high meaning that I have an infection somewhere.
They thought it was either in the Lungs or the Bladder.
The last 3 days I have had a Urine test and 3 Blood tests.
Last night at the Dr's they told me I am now a Diabetic & I have an infection in the Lungs.
I had 3 breath tests that has got them baffled as to why I am not in Hospital now being treated for that.
However I was allowed to come home with My Medication being updated.
This Dr. is determined to do everything in Her power to get me treated so that the operation goes ahead on the 29th.
I have to go back Monday & She is personally going to talk to the Diabetes Specialist.
She is a very good DR. and She told me that the Hospital I was going to for the operation is one of the Best.
And That My surgeon is is a great Surgeon who She knows personally because she teaches advanced students at that Hospital.
So Please Pray that I get better and that the operation goes ahead on the 29th.
Your Friend

Hi Forum
Well since the 14th we have been to that many Dr's & Hospitals that we have lost count.
I am now Officially a Diabetic and I still have a Lung infection.
We went to 2 Dr's today & they spoke to another 2. Plus we went to a Hospital.
So what They have agreed on with the Surgeon is this.
They will admit me to the Hospital a day earlier on the 28th to monitor Me.
If all goes well they will operate on the 29th.
If not then the Operation will be postponed to a later Date.
Your Friend
Lanky
You know our hearts & prayers are with you my true brother. Please keep us informed as we care a lot for you.

Hi Forum
Well this is the last post that I will do until after the operation if it goes ahead.
Tomorrow is Monday I get admitted for observation.
If all goes well Monday Then They will operate on me on Tuesday 29th April.
As soon as a Result is known.
My Wife will Ring Chuck=LeBear who will post that result Good-or Bad.
If the operation goes as expected I should be home in 5 Days.
If not then 15 Days.
If It Goes Arse up then Goodbye.
My Wife & I want to thank You All for everything.
You have all been great and have enriched our Lives.
There are 2 People in particular that I want to thank that you the Forum may no know what these Great People were willing to do for Me.
[highlight]I want to thank Jakkalsdraai.[/highlight]
He was willing to start a Fund on my behalf to help pay the Operation Costs....Luckily it is covered by the state.
But Jakk
I will never forget you for this Mate ..You're a Great Bloke Mate.
Thanks Cobber.
[highlight]I also want to thank Chuck =LeBear.[/highlight]
Chuck Is a pretty Tall guy 6ft- 6inches I think.
And when He found out about the short vein that I have that could cause problems.
He wanted to go and have an operation an have that same vein taken from His leg then Frozen or Iced & sent to Australia so that it could be transplanted into the vein in My leg.
That is beyond the call of Duty as a Mate.
That was is & always will be a Highlight of how strong a Mateship can be. Its absolutely out of this world to even think about it let alone offer to do it for someone else who he has only known for 6 months.
One thing I do know is that If I die In will die knowing that I have Met the best person that GOD ever put breath into besides His Son Jesus.
Good On Ya Mate.
You're a True Blue Fair Dinkum Real Beaut Bonza Bloke. My Mate.

This is just a speedbump in the road. Once you're over it, you'll pick up speed quickly again!

Hi Mates,
I just got off the phone a short while ago with Nancy and Lionel had just come out of the recovery room. She had not spoken with the Drs. yet but was going to do so in the morning. She said that Lionel was still pretty groggy from the anesthesia and at that point I next have Lionel on the phone and he says he really feels like crap. So in true Aussie style I told him to stuff it. He had a good laugh and said he would talk with me later tonight. Tough buggers those Aussies.
From what I understand about the surgery the next 48hrs. are very important in the recovery process. So we must keep both Lionel and Nancy in our prayers that his recovery will be speedy. As I learn more of how things are going I will post them here on the forumn.
best regards,
LeBear/Chuck

Hi Mates,
I just got off of the phone with Nancy and Lionel. The surgery has gone very well and recovery is progressing nicely at this time. They have him up and walking around already but he is in a lot of pain from where they whacked the vein out of his leg and thigh. He is hoping to be home in maybe 2 or 3 days so that means they were able to perform the required surgery without having to be overly aggressive.
I passed on everyones thoughts and prayers for him and Nancy, and he wanted me to tell everyone thank you, and he was very grateful for that. He is still pretty weak so we just had a short chat. I will talk with him again tommorow and post an update after I do. From what I understand it is going to be many weeks before the healing will be complete so there are still some rough days ahead. But considering all he has been through in the past 24 hrs. he is a real digger "soldier" and I know he will be just fine. We were funning a little bit and I got him laughing, but it was pulling his stitches and staples so we stopped that pretty quick. So his spirits are up and very good.
best regards,
LeBear/Chuck

Hi Mates,
I spoke with Lionel and Nancy last night and things are proceeding nicely. The lung infection that has been dogging him has finally cleared up. This is great because he may get to go home today. His sugar is stabalizing too which is also wonderful news. Both Lionel and Nancy are in good spirits. Lionel is still quite weak from the procedure but that is too be expected. I will let everyone know of any further developments. Keep the prayers and best wishes coming for a speedy recovery.

Hi Mates,
Just a quick update. I just spoke with Nancy and Lionel is now home and resting. He is going to have to take it easy for a quite a while which is to be expected. At this point it time his body seems to be accepting all the new hardware they just stuffed in him so that is good. I don't think he is going to be up to posting for a while but you never know. I spoke with Lionel this morning before he left the hospital, and he is still in good spirits, and said to tell everyone thanks for there prayers and support for both him and Nancy.
best regards,
LeBear/Chuck

Hi Forum
I will personally go into all your posts and put a thank you Note there for each of you as I get stronger.
Thank You All Very Much For Everything Each & Everyone Of You Did With Prayers Etc.
The Operation appears to have gone well & I am healing good.
Addonia a s always is answering all My Questions as The Recovery continues.
What they said & told My Wife & the Effect it could have had on My Family on the the day of The Operation was nothing short of disgusting.
At 10 Am they contacted My Wife & Told Her that the Operation was Over the Stents Had been put in and that all went well & I was now in Recovery.
My Family were dancing with tn the street with tears of Joy.
[highlight]This was total Bullshit I had not even been operated on at this Time.[/highlight]
At 12 noon when My wife comes looking for me they tell my Wife that there had been a mistake with the previous information and that As of this minute I ha only been Operated on and had just been taken to recovery.
[highlight]This to was total Bullshit as well as I still had not been Operated on.[/highlight]
At 2pm when my Wife came looking for me They again told her there had been a mistake with previous information. And that I had Just been operated on & was now in recovery.
At this point My Wife Lost it as a Lady and was ready to take on King Kong if Necessary to get to the truant she explained in good old Aussie Terms what had happened since 10 am that Morning.
She put in a way that left no doubts in anybody"s minds that if you were female you were about to have a visit to the Dentist who would have to work backwards from your Arse hole to repair your Teeth
and thats only after your Friends had helped find an Eye or two that had been scratched out in the fight that was about to erupt.
And that if You were Male then You better put special markings on whatever Balls you had now.
So that you could identify them later after she had gleefully shot them out.
That is if the cat had not got them 1st.
By Now she had their Attention.
They then showed My Wife the Nurse who has to stay with me for 8 hrs after I come back to the Ward.
That Nurse was now setting up her Table.
She can only look after me she cant look after anyone else just me only.
She take pity on My wife & says she will ring when she knows something.
At 3 .55 pm the nurse rings and says I will be back at 4pm
What happened was that the Sister told the nurse I would be back at 5.
The Nurse mistook that for will be back in 5 minutes.
So once again more miss information has been given to my Wife.
After 5pm I finally show up........10 hours after they came to Operate on me in the morning.
So You Can see what an Ordeal this has been for My Family Especially My Wife.
We Love You all
Lionel & Nancy
Hi Lionel;
Glad to see you back. I knew all along that you would pull through this. Sorry to hear that they gave Nancy such a bad time.
Now you just need to take it easy and recover well. You are one tough old bugger ( HaHa ).

Hello Mate
I don't know what bits they put in or took out but they certainly left you with your sense of humour.
Sorry about the messing about they did with with the news they kept giving Nancy but we know that you're not too far away from being your normal self after reading your post.
Best wishes to both of you

Hi Forum
I went to the Surgeon today.
The Surgeon was happy with the progress.
He did 2 ankle pressure tests Like they do with blood pressure tests on your arm.
Then an ultrasound that showed the right side full of Fluid .
That's the reason for the real big Blood Clot.
He said the Blood clot could take between 3 to 6 months to go and that hopefully it would do so the normal way or otherwise it could come out through the skin & then that could be a real nuisance.
Then He said that It would take between 3-6 months to see if the Butt pain would disappear and to see if I would walk normally again.
He said the numbness on the inside of my thighs is a direct result of the nerve ends there that did not take too kindly to being disturbed but they are now settling down again.
He has made an appointment for me to have an x-ray & a Catscan in 2 weeks at the local Hospital.
God Bless You All
Lionel & Nancy
