Well, my wife and I need your prayers today. My wife Lori went to the emergency room last night with chest pains. Doing a stress test this morning. While we were there, they did a BP test on me and it was 215 over 123. I got admitted too with stroke level BP. We're doing ok this morning, but I hope my head don't pop off!!!! Too many cheeseburgers and cigarettes. The 70's just won't go away!!!!!

Bill, Praying for you and Lori. Looks like it walking time for you.
My goodness. I hope the very best for both of you.
hope everone still doing ok glad u found it before anything bad happen
Get well soon.
Hey BRM - You take it easy and we willl keep our thoughts out for you and yours. At 2871 you still have a long way to go. If it makes you feel better, 6 weeks ago I go to the Dr with lower back pain. Next thing I know I have high BP, High High Cholestrol and a case of the Koodies. Now after every test and every finger has been run on me. I found out I get a camera for Christmas and its not a 35m. 2 nights ago I ate my 1st turkey burger but tonight I get crappie (grilled of course) I am dealing with a lifestyle change and I wont let it get the best of me. The thing that I hate is that my back still hurts like #$%^. I told you that you need to relax and fish more. Those boats will sell themselves. Take care
hey there big bill ,yall need to get well soon we still got put some crappie slime in that express boat soon ! prayer sent for both of you a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Praying for you all, Bill. You all get well quick. Getting rid of those smoke sticks will be a great start. God bless.
Prayers sent, hope you and your wife remain ok and get your BP to healthy numbers.
What they said , prayers sent.
Prayers sent Bill. If you put something in your mouth and it taste good spit it out, it will kill you.
Sir, I'm very sorry to hear that. You and your wife will be in my prayers. Hope your back fishing soon!
I will do more than just hope for your wellness, and keep you in my thoughts. I will spent time in prayer and ask GOD to heal you and give you wisdom about your health and how to keep it.
God bless you and your wife........ T.M.
Sending prayers to the both of you from Southeast Arkansas! I hope you are both doing great very soon.
Praying for you and your wife. Hope everything works out well.
Prayers sent...may god bless you both
best wishes, hope both of you get to feeling better soon, do what the doc(s) say, and yeah, if it takes good, spit it out. Hope you guys like grilled fish & chicken, chicken and fish.
You have my prayers and best wishes...also, I feel your pain...about the same thing happened to me...quitting or changing is bad enough by itself...but we have a double whammy, smoking and diet...a big mountain to climb...this sounds nuts, but it helps me...electric cigarettes at Walgreens...still get a little nicotine, still get to fiddle with them, and you get no tar and other bad stuff...plus cuts the cost way down...anyway (for me) ain't nothing easy about it, but you gotta get your mind right...
We're all getting into that range as being treated as babies....no you cannot have this or that,spit it out,take this where pill.
May the lord lay his hand on you and wife to be back fishing soon
My thoughts are with you both. Hoping all is better soon for both of you.
Guys, Lori and I both want to thank y'all for the prayers, AND the advice. Jigflinger stopped by the store today, and I certainly appreciate ALL of the concern shown by my friends here on C.C!!!!!
We are both doing fine, but man I need a cheeseburger and a smoke!!! ( Had a cigarette in my mouth when Jig walked in). Pray that we stay outta Gods way enough to let Him heal us, and keep us healthy!!!!
Y'all ain't lucky enough to git rid of me that easy. God is Great ALL the Time!!!! See ya on the water!!!!
Bill and Lori

BRM
Glad ya'll are on the mend. You better get over here and catch some of these slabs while they are biting.
Prayers up from the Midsouth team!
Bill, you're a hoot! I told you that I wasn't going to squeal on you about that smoke. And you tell on yourself. It is a hard habit to kick, but you can do it. I was fortunate that I could go Cold Turkey. Very fortunate. Stay with it, my friend. God bless you both and Merry Christmas.santa
Wife's insurance picks up part of the bill for chantix beginning in Jan so after 40+ years of smoking I'm giving it a TRY! Got the prescription along with a $30 off giftcard from the doctor's office today (after paying a $35 co-pay to see the doctor:rolleyes:)....but anyway it's on come January. All I can say is the meds will have to be what stops me because even though I cherish the idea of quitting the pure simply fact about me smoking is I still enjoy it and guess I look forwards to smoking the next one everytime. I hope you can make it thru the ordeal cause it sounds like it's about time for you to call it quits too. Sorry that I just read this post but I'm glad the results came out well for both you guys. Prayers still being sent.Thumbs Up
Headin to Sardis tomorrow Wayne!! Hope to put some slime in my boat!!
Thanks again for all the support, AND Prayers from all my C.C friends. Merry Christmas to ALL, and may GOD Bless!!!
I know Jigflinger, like my cup, my mouth runneth over!! LOL

Hey BRM,
Just got home from a three day out of town trip and read this post. Sent a prayer up for both of you. I think you are blessed that you happened to be where they could check you out before you had a stroke. I know it's hard to give up the cigarettes, but ultimately you'll be glad you did! Hang in there, buddy! Thumbs Up
Thanks Ski Trip. We both appreciate it.
