Keith is one of the good guys. His wife Dale is awesome as well.

He posts pretty much every night while Holly is doing dialysis....they definitely have a special bond. Like I told Keith's daughter when she private messaged us....we are all praying for a quick and thorough recovery for Keith.

Keith and Dale &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

Thanks guys for all the get well wishes. There is certainly lots of great support out there. I can appreciate what Holly Blythe has gone through as we chat back and forth often. The whole Blythe family is great to be associated with. Barring me doing something stupid, I should be back to normal by September 1 AND driving again. Overall, I am doing quite well, walking up and down stairs, with lots of exercises. Everything has gone quite well. We can not say enough good about the cardiac ward at the Southlake Hospital in Newmarket Ontario. Dr. Kevin Teoh is an excellent surgeon too.

Keith, make sure that the doctors sign you up for Cardiac Rehab. Also make sure you follow the exercise program they give you. I went through OHS (valve replacement) 4 years ago and exercise makes a big difference.

Glad to hear you're doing well and hope you make a full recovery.

Hi All, an update from Keith's daughter, Jane:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hi all, dad (Keith Tedford) has been MIA because he was misbehaving(not really)and is back in hospital due to chest pain. Everything is headed in the right direction once again, his Dr is closely monitoring him and he's getting plenty of rest as he's been ICU in a relatively quiet room by himself. Hoping to have him home in the next day or so.


If you would like to visit dad once he is home please give mom a call ahead of time just to make sure he is up for a visit

Keith,
I've never met you, but based on our conversations and judging by the cars you drove... I'm betting that you're tough as nails! My thoughts and prayers are with you for a quick recovery!

Take care of yourself because several of us out west are looking forward to meeting you one day!

Update: For Keith...they awaiting their turn to get a couple of tests done. He's doing well...and hopes to be home in a few days.

Like I told his wife Dale, this is just a small bump in the road to recovery <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Another update from Keith's wife Dale:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Keith had another surgery today. They put 3 stents in as he had blockages of 100%, 90% and 95% on three of the vessels (which was separate from the bypass surgery). He was up and walked to the bathroom tonight and seemed to be doing well. I will keep you updated</div></div>

So, another small bump in the road to a very complete and healthy recovery. We are saying prayers tonight for the Tedfords <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Thanks for keeping the guys updated Bruce. Had a blip last Saturday night with severe chest pain. This led to the three stents this week. Looks like I am lucky to be alive considering all the blockages and hadn't even been having chest pains, just dead dog tired all the time. I'm feeling really good now and will have to let the sternum stitch itself back together again. Still a few years of driving left in me yet. An experience like this makes a person realize that they had better enjoy every day they have because it can come to an end in a flash. Thanks again for the support.

Good that you are feeling much better, Keith. Take it slow on the rehab! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

Still improving bit by bit. The old body quickly tells you if you are doing a little too much. Just a resting day today and things feel pretty good. Friends are dropping in regularly so I don't get bored and the time passes more quickly.

A full restoration of a Good Car takes a while. If you rush things, the results show it. No different for a Good Man ! !

Take your time and do it right! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

I came across this a couple of days ago and love it. I've always lived clean, exercised, ate well, never smoked, drank little and genetics got me. My Dad had the same operation when he was 70 back in 1984. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs00fBj2nH0
