Just to let you know, Donn Christianson suffered a heart attack Tuesday night. Luckily Kerry was with him and managed to make an emergency call and he was rushed to the hospital. Surgery was apparently successful. I do not have the name of the hospital, nor do I have their phone numbers. Both of them are on Facebook which is where I learned of this.

That's really tough. Don is a great guy. I'm very happy he pulled through and I sincerely hope he gets to keep moving forward with his plans. He's very lucky to have someone like Kerry.

Thank Gods he's alive.
Years ago, he voiced a fear that he might have a heart problem. He got checked out and was given a clean bill of health, if I recall. I'm sorry that this jumped up and bit him. :(

Donn is very lucky. Not many folks live through that. It does give one pause, and thanks for folks like Kerry and the doctors who did the right things.

I wonder what "checked out" means. Probably just a stress test, which is a lousy test. My impression is that the best way to survive a heart attack is to take symptoms seriously. Hard to do, as many times they're pretty mild.

very, very scary. I'm glad he Kerry was able to get him to the hospital and that the surgery was successful. I hope he has a full recovery. Donn had just posted on here a few days ago after being absent for some time. Wishing him and Kerry the best.
