Title: Gene Wensel in the Hospital
Post by: Littlejake on March 14, 2015, 07:46:00 AM: From Brothers of the Bow facebook page.

This is Jenny, Gene's daughter and wanted to update everyone on some happenings of the last couple days -
My sister just posted on her wall asking for prayers for our family. Below is what is going on. Thanks to everyone that has texted/emailed and called and we will keep you update. *********
Our dad went Shed Antler Hunting on Wednesday and walked for HOURS and MILES. That night he got home and had a very high heart rate and low blood pressure. Yesterday morning he went to ER and was admitted. They got his rate normal and were just monitoring him. He was joking with the nurses and totally fine. This is the guy who has never been in a hospital for anything since he was born. He was going to go home this morning. So this morning I get a text from him that says ---
Figured out where I XXXXXX up. I drank 4 bottles of water while dehydrated but added Mio Green Thunder, which I thought was just flavoring but in reality is an energy drink. So essentially I downed 4 Red Bulls on an empty stomach that jump started my heart. Something to remember! Pass the word! Then he called 2 hours later this morning and they are transferring him to Iowa City for a better hospital and cardiologist. They think that he might have had a mild heart attach and so are going to run some tests at the new hospital and see if he needs a stint. He is not worried at all. So thank you everyone for keeping him and our family in your prayers

Get back in there after those sheds Mr. Wensel, before the porcupines do. I hear they have a high tolerance for Red Bull around those parts and can chew a shed in minutes once wired up on the stuff.
Title: Re: Gene Wensel in the Hospital
Post by: el chupa nibre on March 14, 2015, 07:06:00 PM: Hoping for a speedy recovery, Mr. Wensel! Seriously, those energy drinks can really mess someone up. I remember when I was studying for finals week and I downed 3 cans of Full Throttle. Felt all right and not jittery. And then later the same night I took some pre-workout (another injection of caffeine) and started getting pronounced heart palpitations while lifting. Guess it was that last drink that tipped me right over the edge.

Post by: Sixby on March 14, 2015, 07:16:00 PM: Best to the family and to Gene, Get well sir and back in the woods sans the energy drink. Maybe Take some trail mix.

Post by: JohnV on March 16, 2015, 10:07:00 AM: I visited Gene in the hospital yesterday. He was in good spirits and had a copy of Trad Bowhunter for reading material. Gene says he feels fine. They want to check him out more thoroughly today just to make sure there is nothing more serious that needs to be fixed. If all goes well he will probably be released tonight or tomorrow. While visiting, the nurse came in to deliver him his lunch. With a somber voice, he asked whether he would be able to play the piano after being released from the hospital. The nurse asked Gene if he currently plays the piano. Gene replied, "no!"

Post by: Barry Wensel on March 16, 2015, 07:32:00 PM: I talked to him about an hour ago and wanted to update everyone. As listed above he is in good spirits and in no pain. They did confirm he did have a mild heart attack but no "damage" was done and that's a huge plus. Negatively, they found one area that's 99% blocked so stents won't do the trick. They are scheduling him for by-pass surgery ASAP. They know how to fix it but haven't scheduled the surgery time yet. Street talk is the best surgeon moonlights as a bartender so they need to work around his schedule too. Seriously, thank you all for your prayers. They are very well received. His entire family really appreciates it. bw

I will keep him in my prayers.

Get immersed in a 3-day outdoor project with the first non-rain days we've had and look what happens!

Sounded like bypass surgery was imminent, now maybe not?

From the bit I've heard of these guys, I'm not sure if the hospital staff might need our prayers as much as the boys and the family!

Regardless, add my voice to the prayers for a solid good fix that gets Mr. Ornery back in the woods on time!
