Keep Mr. Richens in mind

Just found out a few minutes ago that one of Lane's heart valves (aorta) collapsed this morning. It wasn't considered a heart attack but he has been hospitalized. They put a stent in his heart to clean things up. It sounds like things will be ok, but a few prayers never hurt anything. Apparently he will have a stent in his heart for life and be on medication for a year.

What the heck! He's in better health than I am for sure. I'll be thinking of Lane for sure.

Please continue to keep up up to date.

yeah man, I just added some revisions to the post.

I guess he woke up with severe pain in the chest and then went to the hospital.

I had the same reaction, Lane's a tank, he can hike for days.

This is like when Lanny Hathaway dropped and ended up with quadruple bypass surgery! He seemed totally healthy until that minute.

Wow. Yeah, keep us posted. I love that guy!

Rich said this morning that he's doing better and should get out of the Hospital sometime today.

Lane is home and doing fine. He says he has some pain in his leg (that's how they put the stent in), but other than that, he is well. He's on meds for a while, but overall, sounds like things are gonna be okay.
