OT Lanny needs your prayers and warm wishes

[Idog1976]

Lanny just called, his heart is failing. Needs his heart valve replaced ASAP. He's got some other medical issues going on so this isn't going to be an easy procedure.

If everyone could take a moment and send some positive thoughts to him it would mean a lot.

Thanks.

Much love to you Lanny and I will pray for you.

I called this morning and spoke with his wife, he was sleeping. They have to get his vitals better before he can have surgery.

Lanny is lucky to have you as a pal SPD.

Nah, I'm the one who is lucky to have Lanny as a friend.

Does Lanny have kids? I know he has expressed many times his love for his wife. I hope she’s hanging in there.

No kids, the line to be adopted by Lanny starts behind me.

I wrote and deleted some satirical posts but didn’t want to give the wrong message which is that Lanny is legendary, not that he’s old.

Such as That it’s rumored Christopher Columbus threw Lanny overboard when he was actually the first one to discover America.

It's Friday 7/15> How is Lanny?

I hope Lanny pulls through. I've always wanted to ask him if he knew my dad, because I think he did.

Spoke with Lanny.

He's having an angiogram Monday and then heart surgery later in the week.

Overwhelmed when I told him how many posts and warm wishes this thread has.

He thanks all of you.

Also, he must be on some really good drugs because he was convinced that the Blazers had traded Lillard for Mitchell.

Now if this can all play out correctly. The Blazers can win Summer League. They can get their Rings and you can give him the ring @Natebishop3 buys you.
Wouldn't that be cool?

Yes, that's perfect!

Damned nurse is probably from Salt Lake City....Lanny, you're getting sleepy...Dame is going to Utah, Dame is going to Utah.....when you wake up, you'll think about Donovan Mitchell!

 

[MickZagger]

Get well Lanner’s! One of my favorite posters in the game and a great dude as well.

Best of wishes that you put this stuff behind you

Yeah the kinds of drugs he's probably on will definitely give you nightmares.

I'm crossing all my fingers and toes.

It's very good news that he's having the surgery. It should mean that he's in good enough condition for it to be successful.

Exactly. They would continue to postpone if they felt their was a big risk of his healthy creating complications.

Agree. My grandfather had the same issue, but his health and vitals were never solid enough for them to feel comfortable with any operation. I mean, he still lasted until 96 years old.

Sounds like Lanny is in better health than my grandfather was. And that is a great sign.

Break a leg!

Just got off the phone with Lanny.

He had an angiogram. There is a slight infection from it. So they will wait 6 days before they can do the stent. After they do that they can replace the heart valve that is causing all the trouble. He really wants to go home but the doctors are advising against it.

Hang in there Lanny.

Crap. Sucks waiting around in the hospital.

 

[riverman]

Hang in there Lanny...you are probably in surgery as I type this...you can get through this my friend.

Crap, that mean they found bacterias on his heart valves ? I had a blood infection earlier this year and they did an angiogram, which I believe was to look for that (thankfully I had nothing on my heart).
Hang in there Lanny, extended time at the hospital does suck.

This thread is turning into the same thing as the Sharpe update thread... I'm almost afraid to click on it.

Much love Lanny. Come back after surgery so you can tell everyone how much of a bad dog @SlyPokerDog was humping your nurses leg.

As long as nobody starts a separate "heart transplant" thread to freak everybody out.
