Title: Mr. LaClair is in the Hospital
Post by: Java Man on October 16, 2012, 08:57:00 AM
Ron called me last night and said he was in the hospital.  Some pneumonia coming on and some heart issues that he did not elaborate on.  

Please send a prayer along.

Thank you,

Gregg

I texted him last night, asked him if he needed anything...his response "If I don't get some whiskey I'm gonna die!!"....one of his favorite lines from The Mountain Men movie.

He's rawhide tough and ornery....I worry more about the hospital folks than him. He's gonna be fine.

I talked to him about noon. He said he got the head nurse pretty excited....she kept finding knives and confiscating them. His neck knife was the last straw. He told me he was able to stash his Swiss Army knife before they did the final search. He and the nurse disagreed as to whether they were "weapons" or "tools"...

Prayers sent to the nursing staff...  :archer:

Hmmm, I wonder if he was carrying a LaClair Bowie on him?? That WOULD get them a little excited.

Gotta get the man ready for the hunting season. A big Texas prayer sent for his speedy recovery. Everytime I wear my longhunter shirt I think of Ron and what he has meant to traditional bowhunting. Long live people like him.  :campfire:    :archer2:

Thank you everyone for the prayers and well wishes. They cut me loose from the hospital yesterday, it sure feels good to be home.

I had a problem with phenomena, then a little problem with the old ticker not beating as strong as it should. They're going to try to stabilize it with medication so hopefully that will work out. Thank you again for the prayers......   :pray:

Post by: Ron LaClair on October 27, 2012, 05:29:00 PM
Thanks fellows.. The bad thing about this is that the doctor strongly recommended that I not go to deer camp. He said it would be best that I stay close to a good hospital until the pump gets stronger.

I was supposed to leave for Shrew Haven yesterday and I'm really bummed that I'm not up there..   :(  This is the first time that I've missed camp in the 22 years since I've had it...   :campfire:  

The rest of the Shrew Crew is up there and they call me every day to fill me in and tell me how much they miss me...that helps...I think...   :confused:    :pray:

Ron pour yourself a little one, get a TJ book off the shelf, put your feet up and you will be there with them for sure. Best be safe.
Title: Re: Mr. LaClair is in the Hospital
Post by: amar911 on October 27, 2012, 08:50:00 PM
Ron,

The word is that the deer around Shrew Haven are all celebrating and sent a turkey to your doctor for recommending that you not go hunting.

I was detained by the female customs agents in Australia in July when I did not declare the knives and broadheads in my checked baggage as weapons. I wanted to ask them whether they thought their kitchens were armed with weapons or whether they only used spoons. Then I came to my senses and kept my mouth shut! They let me keep my "weapons."

Glad you are getting around. I'm just wondering if the discharge from the hospital was letting you out or throwing you out.   :D

That has to be tough, Ron, but rather give up one year and then have many more full years than to push it when things aren't quite as they should be.

Keep the spirits high and the blood pressure low!

Pulling for ya!

Prayers from many for your total healing!

Just got in from camp, and saw your name on the Prayer thread. Never seen you in this forum, about as hard to imagine as you not being able to carry your mule to deer camp. I bet your doctor is up there drinking all your Basil Hayden.

At any rate, i am terribly sorry that you are missing camp this year. I missed it a couple of years ago and it is like being in a foreign land where nobody speaks your tongue. I hope the ache isn't too sharp, and speaking of sharp, that nurse did sterilize your scalpels before she gave them back, right?

I struck out again this year, except for the day that I took my .22 out for squirrels. I had been hunting with my .54, but wanted a fun hunt where I might actually kill something. Sat on a ridge where red pine turned into a hardwood bowl, looking for gray and fox squirrels. Bagged a murky pic of a 200 pound 6-point at 40 yards. Broadside. Five o'clock in the evening. Just my luck. Your luck has always beat mine all hollow, so I know you'll be just fine.

It would have been a miserable drag out of there.    "[dntthnk]"
