Subject: [Discuss] Personal update and March food deliveries
Message-ID: <4BA11895.60407@cox.net>

MARCH FOOD DELIVERIES
This coming Saturday Mar 20 is our regular March delivery day.  We 
expect about 300 deliveries, and we need help.  We'll meet that morning 
at 9 AM at the Dorothy Day Center at St. Charles parish, 4909 N State 
Street.  Bring friends to help!  The weather isn't looking especially 
good that day, we seem to be having a "Seattle Spring", little sunshine, 
its still cold.

A PERSONAL UPDATE
On March 5, I went to the emergency room of St. Anthony's hospital due 
to chest pains.  I had been getting the pains for about 2 weeks, but was 
thinking, "You are just out of shape, you need to exercise more."  Well, 
that was true, but there was more going on than simply being out of 
shape.  Anyway, that evening I took some compost out, came back in and 
had to sit down I was so out of breath and my chest hurt.  Sean came in 
my office and said, "What's wrong with you?" and I told him about the 
chest pains.  He insisted that we go to the emergency room, and it was a 
good thing we did.  I did not have an actual heart attack, but was 
headed that way fast.

I was admitted to the hospital that evening, and the next day underwent 
a heart catheterization, which found one artery almost completely 
blocked, and a second artery about 90% closed, so six stents were 
inserted, 4 in one, 2 in the other.  I was released the next day, and 
have been easing back into my regular schedule.  I actually feel better 
than I have in quite some time (as the cardiologist said, it's amazing 
what a little roto-rooter and some chain link fence will do). 

This happened at a typically busy time for me.  The Oklahoma Food Coop's 
annual meeting was Saturday Mar 6. The students from Creighton also 
arrived that day.  They went to the annual meeting and then Marcus Evans 
took them home for the night.  They moved in with us Sunday evening, 
after I got out of the hospital, and they were great nursemaids for me 
in my first week of recovery.  I am always impressed by the willingness 
of Creighton students to NOT go to the beach for Spring Break but 
instead end up at places like our house, doing works of mercy, justice, 
and peace.  They worked real hard that week, and God bless them for the 
generosity of their hearts.
