Wdycrankbait on this site just had open heart surgery at Johns Hopkins to fix a leaking heart valve.

Docs say the operation was a total success, no bleeding, and he should be feeling better in a few weeks.

After he gets his strength back he will go back under the knife to have two aneurisms repaired.

Woody will be back on the water in March or April.

That's great, hope the next surgeries go even better!

Good news - get well soon. And listen to your Doctors.

Good news. Hope he's better as quickly as the Lord allows.

Prayers for a speedy recovery sent his way

^x2

Glad to hear he's doing better, hopefully the recovery process goes well and he's back in time for the spring bite!

A good guy. Get well soon!

Speedy recovery & best wishes going forward.

Thanks Sam, I remember him saying he had a upcoming major surgery a few months back...

Best wishes to him & his people...

Wow, I hope everything turns out the best for you

Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Glad to hear his first was a success.

 

Hope the next surgeries go smoothly, as well.

Hope he gets well soon.

Hope he gets well soon!

Woody did great with his open heart surgery.

 

Docs said the results were outstanding with no bleeding from the repaired valve.

 

He was taken out of ICU and into a step down unit at Johns Hopkins two days after his surgery.

 

Woody is not out of the woods as he will have to return to Johns Hopkins for some serious artery repair when he regains he strength.

 

After these two surgeries he will be 100% and can hit the water again.

Thats great news.  Heal fast buddy.

Great, sending good vibes!!

Good news. T&P continue

Woody is home now, resting until he goes back for his second surgery.

 

He is one strong fighter to be doing so well.

 

I know he wishes he could fish as well as his body is healing (just had to get that in the post).

 

He can now relax at home and continue to watch his soap operas.

Please give him my best. 

Hey everyone,

    Thank you very much for all the blessings and well wishes.  As Sam said, surgery went well.  My mitral valve needed to be repaired, again.  I got home Monday afternoon late, I am so blessed to have my wife by my side through all of this.  

    I am looking at one more surgery in a couple of months to fix an aneurysm in my abdominal area.  But, I have been kept around for some reason.  Hopefully, that 10lber. is coming my way soon!   

 

This is why I love this sight so much, some of you I know, some of traded emails/messages with, but most I have not, still taking the time to drop a well wish to me enforces the bound I see we all have respect for our fellow anglers,

 

Thanks again,

Wdy
