Dino, thanks for the updates. I wish southernpride the best. It's a long road and you gotta be patient. Had a heart attack myself and know full well how long it can take to get back to "normal". Our prayers are with him and my family and I wish him the best and a full recovery. Tell him Maple and Brown Sugar flavored oatmeal will have to replace the cheeseburgers and there's only so many ways to eat grilled chicken!!!! My best to you. Thanks again for the info and updates.
To those that know southern pride

7pm update.....ok sp is in recovery. surgery went well..took 7 hours...there is a serious side to this that the wife if very worried about.....due to the meds he was on that causes strokes as a side effect......they think sp had another stroke,while in surgery...they cleared all 4 arterys and found a clog farther down in one of the arterys.............so as of now he is in recovery and will be moved to ICU

Hey man, thanks for going above the call of duty to help out a fellow trucker! I think he is a pretty tough soldier and with some good care and prayers he should be able to pull through this. Thanks again dino.
dino6960 and southernpride Thank this. -
my prayers goto you SP.. get WELL SOON
dino6960 and southernpride Thank this. -
I liked cheeseburgers with mayo and lettuce, a big juicy steak with all the trimmings, hot dogs with mayo, etc. Take it from somebody that knows you may laugh at those little heart signs beside food choices on a menu but you better take'em seriously. If not you CAN have a heart attack or a stroke. I had my cholestrol checked, had my blood pressure checked, but my lifestyle and diet caught up with me. I never dreamed about a heart attack or stroke. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!! I know people don't like capitols but it needs saying. This lifestyle and diet can and will hurt you. Be Aware!!puncher, dino6960 and southernpride Thank this.

Thank you for keeping us informed, and im hoping he makes a speedy recovery, besides me thinks he is probably just too awnry stubborn and mean to give up the ghost!
And thats the way it ought to be..dino6960 and southernpride Thank this. -
Mr beast, from what i gather from our conversations he's a tall man..and very well mannered....but from storys he has told me of his past.....i dont think he is a man to play games with...he has been very straight forward with me and very honest at all times ,he calls it like he sees it!!!...even with out the health issuses i have the ut most respect for the man.......i think theres alot of us that can stand to learn from him about the buisness and the kind of man each of us would like to be.....i;m not saying copy his moves or anything....i'm talking about pride and helping a fellow human out...trucker or not......he has a hard road of recovery in front of him..but with his attitude i do believe he will be fine health wise..it's gona take some time
Fratsit, southernpride, RenegadeTrucker and 5 others Thank this.
