[Dialogue] Dan Tuecke

[James Wiegel]

Yes it was a clear sign of Pat's TRANSCENDENT sense of wisdom -- and, ever since, seeing either or both of them, the wisdom is clear . . .

Dear Dan and Pat.
    Dan, you were one of the 
greatest guys in the old Order mess line.  I don't remember why, exactly, 
but I always thought Pat did a smart job in marrying you.  Keep well and 
make the world happy!!

>  heart condition. When his blood pressure suddenly dropped dramatically he was 
>  sedated , intubated, and admitted to Intensive Care Unit. He was in Intensive 
>  Care, sedated and on a respirator, for three days. Tests showed multiple blood 
>  clots in his right leg and a huge clot where the large vein, the vena cava, 
>  splits to carry blood to the heart and lungs. They administered blood thinning 
>  medications. He was in the hospital for 9 days total while the medications 
>  were calibrated for his body. He remembers none of this until day 
>  five.

>After being home for several days regaining his strength, 
>  he noticed a strange development on his right leg – swelling,  huge 
>  discoloration, & blisters. Once more he was in ER and admitted to hospital 
>  telemetry wing where tests again showed multiple clots. It was unclear whether 
>  they were new ones or not. It was decided he was a candidate for a filter 
>  procedure that would prevent clots from reaching his heart or lungs. This 
>  procedure was done the next day and is working well so far. The swelling went 
>  down dramatically, leg ulcers healed, and walking much improved now that blood 
>  is flowing normally. Hallelujah!

>Many, many thanks to those of you who knew this was

>  it was happening, I was so exhausted that when I got home at night, I just 
>  fell into bed. I have now caught up on my sleep and, in this moment, all is 
>  well.

>PS: The filter is an amazing piece of engineering. Made of 
>  a titanium alloy and folded in a very slender shape, it  is inserted 
>  through a catheter in the groin and released in the vena cava, the large vein 
>  that returns blood from the lower part of the body to the heart & lungs. 
>   There body heat causes it to unfold, expand and attach itself to the 
>  vein walls. Blood flow goes through it quite well. Blood clots are caught and 
>  eventually absorbed by the body.  If any of you follow the TV program, 
>  CSI: Las Vegas, you saw something similar in last night’s episode. The bad guy 
>  had inserted a similar device in his father’s vena cava. Of course it was done 
>  to destroy life instead of saving it. Dan’s filter is much more elegant than 
>  the one shown in the film.  As you can image, we were glued to the screen 
>  during that segment of the show.
