From Preacher's post on another thread

"First, on Monday night / Tuesday morning, at around 2:30am I was rushed by ambulance to the hospital after having a heart attack. By 10:00am I was injected with dye up through my groin area and they discovered that I had a 100% blockage of my right coronary artery. They immediately did an angioplasty to open the blockage and implanted a stent into the artery. The procedure was a 100% success. I am very thankful to God that I didn't leave this world earlier than expected or need to have open heart surgery and a by-pass. I now have to get 2-3 weeks of rest with NO working in order to allow my heart to heal. I probably will not be able to go back to driving my rig for 3 weeks. I WILL be following the doctor's orders so that I can get back out on the road ASAP. I still need to earn a living and this will set me back at least 3 weeks. I don't want to do anything that would set me back any further, physically or financially."

Preacher,

Sorry to hear of the health problems. Of course, you have our best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery! Let us know of your progress, you're always welcome here.

Thanks Jeff. I'll be getting a couple of weeks of rest at least before going out on a load. I just wish I could do it out at my Colorado property!

Get your stength back and do what the doctor tells you. There will still be plenty of frieght out there, and you´ll be stronger and more productive, when you return. Hope your feeling good , and not letting your downtime get to you. Take care. Get well.

Preacher,
Glad to see you've made it through it... I hope you continue to get better and relax. Enjoy this vacation while you've got it... (If you can call it a vacation). All I can say is I hope you've got cable or Satalite Telivision, otherwise it'll be a long and boring recovery (I would assume)... PM, if you'd like, we can talk some more if you feel up to it...

Your Friend,

Thanks everyone! I genuinely appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, and concerns. I am truly humbled by all of the responses. I will be taking it easy for a couple of weeks until I get a medical clearance from my doc. That will probably be around March 9-14.

You guys (and gals) are great!
