Thoughts and Prayers for Hopkincane

#1

Post by Pentalux »

Sending some good vibes to our friend Todd Alving aka Hopkincane here on the board. Seems he is going to be a new member of the open heart surgery club. As a five year member now, told him there was nothing to worry about but for those who know him sounds like he had a crazy/scary weekend past and operation scheduled for Monday. He's been at Mass General but his cell is working. Thoughts and prayers for a smooth surgery and easy recovery.

Prayers sent his way. Just out of curiosity, is he having bypass surgery, valvular surgery or both?

Both if I understood him correctly. He's in good spirits.
