Keg River is a little under the weather...this is his wife
 

For those of you who know Keg River - this is his wife, Patty, posting. Keg went to the local hospital last evening and heavens I forget now why he wanted to go BUT the short of it is HE is NOT coming home until he makes a little side trip to Edmonton to have some mechanical work done to his ticker.

As I understand it now they will fly him to Edmonton for the procedure but they don't fly you back for some strange reason and of course we are 8 hours from Edmonton, it is winter, he just got a new to him truck and I drove said truck for the very first time this morning to get home. I was too chicken to drive last night so one of his local sisters came and rescued me from the ER in Manning and they took care of me until this morning.

I know Keg's family will help all they can to get him back home BUT wanted to let youse guys and gals know where he is and prayers are always appreciated.

I forget what my name is here on A.O. so let's just call me Patty, my real name.

Thanks for your friendships.

Patty all the best to you and Jim. Edmonton has great heart patient teams and he will do well. Post any updates on his progress if you can.

Praying. Let AO know if any ways we can help. In sure there are folks close by who can assist

Big prayers from me and my family to you and Keg

Not sure what I can do from wayy down here, but let me know if you guys need anything.

Rootin for ya my friend. :)

Patty I think you likely have my number, when he is released let me know and I will bring him home to you. I have some medical training so it may be beneficial for him.
Let me know if I can help.

Edit- It was nice talking to you, let me know when to head out. My pleasure.

Patty please send all my best to him. It is one month ago today since I was at the Mazankowski for an emergency surprise repair to my aorta. It's a lot to take in but the AO community has helped so much. I was flown in from Jasper but it was only a 4hr drive home. I offer my support as a guy going through it. Prayers & positive thoughts coming your way from my family to yours!

Praying and the best of luck for Keg. I do enjoy reading his threads.

Prayers sent, I'm just outside Edmonton, don't hesitate to ask if I can help at all.
Merry Christmas!

Ken your number did not show up on the phone so please send me your number and please tell me YOU are the AO member who just phoned me less than 10 minutes ago.... it is tough getting old. You can email it to me at patty_tupper@abnorth.com or to Keg here on AO since I am using his log in ........guess that should be ok.

just emailed it to you Patty, your line is busy

Hope hes ok

Get well soon, we are all pulling for you. Phil.

Hope Keg is ok. My well wishes to him. I am in Peace River, let me know if there is something I can do to help.

All the best to Jim and I hope he mends up well.


As an aside, do you ever call him Old Man River? :)

Here’s hoping for the best outcome.

Best wishes to you two.

Thoughts and prayers to you both.

Sorry to hear Patty. I’m rootin for Keg to pull through this just fine. Sounds like he’s in good hands. I’m near Edmonton, if I can help out in any way please don’t hesitate to ask.

OK this is Keg's wife, Patty. Took me a while to remember my AO login.

Keg is being flown to Edmonton today. Will keep you posted as I get updates. I don't expect to get too many since we don't know anyone there...…………...as far as I know anyway.

Thank you for all you guys do.

Prayers for Keg....Always enjoyed him as a MOD and contributions....

Hope he is back soon and well....

A harsh time of year to have such troubles. Sending prayers for you both.
Prayers that he heals soon, and prayers that you will take time to care for yourself.

Please keep us posted.

Prayers for Keg, get well soon.

All the BS aside, difference of opinions, trolling and what not.
Good on you sir

Good luck and god bless

Get well soon Keg.

Get well soon Keg!

Get well soon Keg, you’re in my thoughts!

Ive been through this fairly recently and i can tell ya this city is incredible for folks with heart troubles, what with the Royal Alex doing stents and having a "Heart Function Clinic" that folks like me have access to and the famous for heart surgery Maz.center at the U of A. They have heart specialist among the best in the world.

Prayers for Keg to pull through.
