The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Unlike the offseason and preseason, my replies have not been what they usually are in numbers(not to say that my totals are huge. But I have been around the site for quite awhile making replies and comments when it so feels a need to me)but the mods might be able to tell you I have been hovering and reading the "new news site" for headlines and reading the stories written by HOGS.NET mods and staff. My explanation comes from the fact that months ago I got really sick with rheumatic fever. Apparently it did some damage to my heart and one of the valves due to scarring. I had 2 minor heart attacks last week. Ive been seeing my doctor on a regular basis and I'm not supposed to get stressed out or mad. "Stay on an even keel, Mike" By the way, if some of you didn't know, my name is Mike. The conclusion right now is that the scarring is occasionally obstructing with my heart to function properly and could stop the valve all together. Which as much as I hate to say it, could kill me. I'm not asking for sympathy, maybe just a prayer.

Good luck brother Mike. Do what the doc says and stay calm. Don't read any threads that are more than one page, because more than one page means disagreement

If you want a prayer you got it. Get well.

Thank you JF&J. They got me wearing this damn heart monitor right now, patches all over my chest and it's bugging the hell out of me!!! All for the good though right??

Not a Skins fan, but none of that matters compairded to what you are dealing with. My prayers are with you and I hope your body heals fast...good luck buddy!

Comparing apples to oranges, I know, but I have recently begun chemotherapy, and I also know what it's like at this point to have stuff stuck in your chest... I'll add you to my prayers, and between the two of us, we'll get through our trials and be able to watch a lot more Redskins victories! (And I, too, am not asking for sympathy, because I'm going to have none on the cancer that decided to mess with me!)

How are you going to watch the game mike? I will also say a prayer for you, get better soon.

Consider it done...nothing better than the power of prayer!

hang in there BIG GUY my thoughts are with you.the skins will always be here ..... you need to take care of yourself FIRST !!!!

Thanks to all of you. And to you DEskins, from me and my family, our best in thought and prayer. But from the heart, KICK THE LIVING CRAP OUTTA THOSE COWBOYS!!! TOUCHDOWN WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!!

Daddywatson...we are neighbors! I live in Beaverton Oregon...40 miles away.

I'm not asking for sympathy, maybe just a prayer.

You got one here without a doubt. II don't thinkI could have put it any better than DE did.

Prayers to you both - daddywatson and DEskins. Best of luck, the theHogs.net will be here for you. Now if we can get a win this Monday Night - good present for both of you.

Just wanted to add my best wishes for both DESkins and daddywatson. I hope that you both get well soon.

You have a community of burgundy and gold bleeders behind you.

Hey brothers! Our hearts are with you. "Football is a game of great lessons" is a famous quote by Vince Lombardi. Please persevere and fight on. Never give up.

You've definitely got some prayers from me, daddywatson and DESkins. I've always enjoyed both of your contributions to the board.

Listen to the doctors, take it easy, and best of luck to both of you.

BEST WISHES!

The best of luck to you Mike! Your in our prayers!

All thoughts and prayers are with the both of you.

Good luck and good health, Mike.

Once again, from myself and my family, thank you. And Cowboys Fanatic, my wife and I have had this Mondy Night Football game party planned since the schedules came out. If you're not doing anything that night, PM me and I'll give you directions. Going to be A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!!!! Beer!!! Lots of food!!! Even a cowboys crying corner(I'd make one for the Redskins but, it's my house and IF I have to, I can pout anywhere I want!!! LOL). Really though, you won't be the only cowboy fan here. I know a few others!!

Definately praying for you Mike. Hang in there and take it easy. I know that's hard to do during football season but you just let us do all the ranting and raving and whooping and hollaring for you.

Best wishes and prayers for you both.

sad to hear guys. keep fighting. i don't pray, but you have my best wishes.
