Seriously though, get well soon!  Positive thoughts headed your way.

My first thought was "Have you tried Viagra? I mean surgery for penile implants is surely a last resort measure!".

Best of luck Jay! Heal fast!

Actually they do the sex change operations at the U of M Hospital. Considered one of the finest in the country for that type of procedure, along with Johns Hopkins.

Anyway, whatever procedure you are having done, like Jared said, get well soon.

Anybody know if Jay is still there.  I work at St. Mary's so I'd be happy to pay a visit and bring him something if he needed.

Hey, I'm an alumni of the U of M.  Way back then our football team sucked, our basketball team sucked and we were far from tops academicaly. Gotta have something to be proud of.

Oh, hey, the hockey team was fairly good, for what that's worth.

A brief summary for those interested.

I have atrial fibrillation. It's fairly common, especially among older people. I'm fairly young to have it, but I do and stuff happens. Some people never are bothered by it, I am.
The problem with me is that when I am in a-fib, my ejection fraction goes too low. Ejection fraction is the amount of blood your heart pumps out with each beat, usually the number is around 55-60% of blood volume gets pumped out each stroke by the heart. In a-fib mine can hover around 1/3 to 1/4 of that number. Consequently my heart pumps very little oxygen to me body, and I feel like shit. Walking up a flight of stairs kills me in a-fib. There is a chance for a clot also, as the heart weakens and doesn't pump enough blood out, blood can pool in the heart and possibly clot. The heart can push that clot to wherever in the body it sees fit, which can be bad. The heart rate is very erratic, it can beat very fast, skip a few beats, have extra beats, etc.
Currently I am on medicine to lower my heart rate, metropolol. I am also on a drug to control the a-fib, the drug is called Tikosyn. Tikosyn must be started in a hospital as the drug itself in some people causes a fatal arrhythmia as one possible side effect. They require you stay 3 days and while there they monitor your heart and take ecg's every so often to check for these bad arrhythmias. That's what I was doing last weekend.
In early December I will have my 3rd pulmonary vein ablation at Mayo to try and fix it again. If that is successful after 3 months I will be off all medications and be free from it all again. I'm trying to be positive, the first two obviously didn't fix it permanently yet  :-\
Side effects of all this are depression, I can't exercise like I love to, and the wallet will be lighter to the tune of about the price of a new 650 Ninja plus accessories  ;D

Dude, good luck with the future procedures.  Keep a good spirit as I believe it helps with the healing. 

If you need anything, please drop a line.

Scary and frustrating stuff, Jay.

I have a close friend with the issue and the treatment worked very well.  The side affects were a bit tough for a bit however - so hang in there.

Good Luck Jay!   If you are going through withdrawal from riding, I'm sure that Denyse would let you ride backpack  ;D
Here's hoping the next procedure is the last one and puts you on an even pump - hopefully not causing the dreaded complication of premature ejection  :'( :P

Wow, sorry to hear of your health problems. Life sure ain't fair if a guy who works out and takes as good care of himself as you do can have this kind of health problem.

Let us know what if anything we can do to help.

Jay,

Bummer to hear this news.  Like others have said, you are about the last person I would have expected to have ticker problems.

I live in Rochester and work at Mayo so if there is anything I can ever do, you are more than welcome to call on me.

-Brian

I'll send you the bill Brian  ;)

Like I told Denyse, I'll be in the hospital again the 14th of December all day if you get bored. I spend all the the 12th doing testing, the 13th is the procedure which should last all day, and the 14 hopefully I get out early evening.

This weekend looks like the last weekend to ride, I'll probably do a short ride and put the bike away for the season.
