Gene Wensel in the Hospital

[Barry Wensel]

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 hope that Gene gets well quickly. I have had a few set backs such as a heart attack and a mini stroke but have had a-Fib under control and I am sure that the hospital and Cardiologists will get his heart under control and he will continue a long and happy life!
I will keep him in my prayers.

I'm sorry he has to go through the surgery, but very glad to hear that no damage was done. I have several people in my family that have had it done, and know others too. All of them are going strong. More prayers on the way. I wish you all the best.

Thank you Barry for keeping us posted. Our prayers are with you all.  Better find a low poundage bow for him so he does not have to be off shooting for too long.

Thanks for the update BW! I'm sure that bartender will use a cork screw to get that blockage cleared!    

[Barry Wensel]

I also heard the bartender/doctor has a twin brother too who works as a butcher/meat cutter. Apparently they like to switch jobs occasionally just for laughs. bw

If I had my druthers, I'd take my chances with the butcher, bartenders get distracted to easily

I visited with Gene and Donna at the hospital yesterday evening.  Gene is supposed to be released this morning and will be going home for a few days.  By-pass surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday.  Both are in good spirits.
