I know he is going to kill me but nanky is recovering from triple bypas surgery and doing just fucking wonderful. Show that mother fucker some love and well wishes.

It's good to be alive and kicking...................................

Oh my lord  :(

Get well, Nanky  :)

Best wishes Nanky. Get well soon. :willya

Best wishes on a comfortable recovery.

speedy recovery to you dude!!! the sheep need you back......

get well soon... for what its worth, I have befriended a lawyer, he left his firm, instead of going partne he quitr, and he took on his own work, with less money and less stress. He works hard, but has alot of time and freedom to enjoy his kids. He's a really good dude, we talk after yoga class, and he always tells me how the guys he left behind at his old firm have all had serious heart and health issues, a few have died in the late 40's and 50's...
get well please... enjoy life, it is too short to waste. I have made major changes over the years you've known me... and after an injury last year, and a lifetime of horrible insomnia, I decided to say fuck it, and really jump into yoga, sex abuse therapy and go deeper into my recovery from alcoholism... for what its worth, i'm getting amazing results in just a few months. I'm not telling you to stop partying or even change your diet, but work stress may be a huge part of this. Work to live, but don't live to work... so, keep puffing the weed, go easy on the bbq and hard stuff and if you have to, quit the job and go solo... we only got a few good decades left, make them count.
All past BS aside, I mean this Nanky... I'd hate to have your name be used in memory.
take care, much respect and alot of punk rocker love,
paul

Very best wishes for a speedy recovery, nanky.

Be rested and road ready for Tour 2012!

Leave it you Thomas to let the PUSSY out of the bag.

Nanky gave us quite a scare.
But he really is doing REMARKABLY well.
Continued prayers  and good wishes to you, dearest friend.  [smiley=kiss.gif]

It's been one friend after another lately.
Time for all of us to start getting healthy because this ride
ain't over and WE have some concerts to attend next year.
And even if the Concerts ARE over, the friendships we have made here will last
forever and that means Summits!!!!!!!!

One love.

:perverted  :wtf1  :aimama  :areyoufuckingserious

Get well, Nanky !

Wow, Nanky, I had no idea....:( So glad you are doing so well after surgery! Now, take it SUPER easy and have a great recovery.  :)

Pdog, you have really taken charge of things and I am impressed and thankful. :) Great good luck with the new lifestyle...:)

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Get well soon Nanky!

Very glad to hear he's coming along so well....get well soon mate.

I look forward to grabbing your nuts again sometime on the next tour...

That triple bypass shit will never break his Heart Of Stone.

All the best, Nanky!

It won't hurt if you try to follow some of your physician's recommendations.  It could give you added years on the longevity of those bypass grafts you have...just saying!! ;) :-*

best wishes nankopotomus.

Get Well Soon My C10 Brother ( Stonesian Brothers for LIFE !!!!! )


Joey  , C10

Thanks all for the kind wishes.

This one was out of the blue!!

Started having some odd pains in my left shoulder blade and neck/jaw in November and December of last year.  Thought it was an old muscle injury because I have never had ANY indications of heart issues.

My diet, while not perfect, was not centered on bacon and butter, despite what the tabloids say!  I used to exercise like a mad-man for most of my adult life.  Didn't smoke ciggies until only the last year or so, and even then only moderately.  Had numerous EKGs and stress tests and blood work over the years -- all clean -  bloodpressure was always good, cholesterol only elevated over the last year or so.

So aside from job stress (and Paul, thanks for the kind words, you are not kidding about the stress of lawyering), the BIG risk factor was genetics -- something you have no control over.

Mom's side of the family is LOADED with cardiac issues.  Most men on that side have had angioplasty, bypass, pacemakers or heart attackas early in life.  I thought I had it beat, but baby, let me tell you, don't get cocky with the ticker!!!

SO yeah, triple bypass last Friday.
Feeling great though - no pain, no discomfort, getting good sleep and (Meg) following the doctors' orders!!

The good news is, the surgery and medicines used to treat recurrence are amazing and there is every reason to believe that Gazza will indeed grab my balls again soon!


Thanks again all - get yourself checked up just to make sure!
Don't be the bad statistic!!

nanky!

Congrats that the surgery went well, Nanky! all the best.

Nanker -  glad to hear that you've come through  this. Take care and all the best

I want to touch your balls now too... so glad you're feeling better.

damn, dude is young
get well
big props Pdog.

Awww, hope you're doing great, Nanky!!!!! I will raise a glass to your health tonight, may you recover very soon. Millions of blow-up sheep are floating in your direction, metaphorically speaking, of course...

:booze

And, seing as I haven't posted in such a long while, here's one to bore you all shitless:

Went to a conference a few weeks ago and heard a paper given by David Williams PhD, someone who used to "build" new pharmaceutical drugs for Astra Zeneca, mainly in the field of human heart disease. He got interested in the power of the mind over the body, because when they were blind-trialling drugs before licensing them for sale, they'd take 100 people and give them the heart drug and 68% of those would indeed "get better", but the other 100 people who'd only swallowed a "placebo" (a capsule looking the same as the real drug but containing only chalk mixed with sugar), well of that group perhaps about 30% got better too, so that would raise a few eyebrows amongst the scientists... Not to bore you entirely shitless with all this, I just want to tell you about one experiment where they took 100 married couples which they sat in a room in front of a camera, 50 of them very lovey-dovey and bonded, holding hands and very kind with one another, a lot of eye- contact and "Yes, love, I know where you're coming from, but you also have to bear in mind..."-you all get the idea. The other fifty couples were a bit more antagonistic. They asked each couple to discuss a controversial subject, something they simply would not agree on, for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes were discarded, because everyone was too aware of the camera being in the room and the middle 10 were also chucked, only the last 10 minutes were used. Half of them were still being very kind, the other half was loudly arguing, and if the words had been bullets, there would have been a few casualties. THEN they substracted the effects of life style, smoking or non-smoking, obesity, exercise etc and tested the furring up of all these people's arteries by special MRI-scans. The conclusion of this trial was that in the couples were there was a lot of love, there was almost no furring up or artherosclerosis and in the other group was a lot. The explanation for this is that whenever we humans are caressed, kiss, or smiled at, or we ourselves caress someone, or kiss someone, or eveb stroke our cat, weproduce a jormone called Oxytocin in our body, which goes into our blood. The molecule of this hormone (Oxytocin, same drug that makes breast-feeding women let milk down or induces birth in pregnant women) is shaped EXACTLY like a little "hole" in the cells lining our blood vessels and heart inside, which are called endothelial cells. Anyway, everytime you produce Oxytocin the molecules go into this hole and then the cell rpoduces Nitric Acid, which is in all the drugs we get given to prevent us from furring up, it's also the same stuff in Nitroglycerine, which they give men as a tablet under the tongue to avoid heart attack......

Anyone still reading?

The conclusion of all this, dear Nanky, is that somehow you have to try and get more kindness and love into your life, which must be so hard when you practice law. Yoga, like pdog suggested it, would be such a great thing to do. I've been doing it almost for a year now, twice weekly, and those are the three hours a week that my mind-chatter ceases and that I manage to totally relax and feel peaceful, no matter how hectic my life is or isn't at the time. I also managed to get over my own crippling insomnia through yoga,I suffered with this sleep-deprivation for about three months last year, which was almost worse than when my daughter was a newborn. I can only recommend yoga in the highest terms. But back to the music already! John Lennon was right all along: ALL WE NEED IS LOVE. And the big question we should all regularly ask ourselves is: Am I constantly rushing around like a total idiot, dealing with the emergencies in my life but neglecting the important aspects?
Anyway, have a good recovery. Sorry if this was a bit long...

less sress achieved through yoga and love, leads to happiness and longer life.

Holy shit!  I had a feeling that mention of the C-10 circle jerk footage just might put Nanky over the edge...

Good to hear you are on the mend.  Some lifestyle tweaks just may override those nasty genetics.  Wouldnt hurt to try.

Nanky, Glad to hear you are making some excellent progress post surgery.  When it comes to lawyers you are the exception my brother!  Keep on rockin man!  SoM

no more Papa Johns?

So glad to hear you're on the mend, Nanky!
