This morning Mickey posted on Twitter:

"All good things must come to an end. 66 years 5 months of never having to see a doctor. Now I’m in ICU. Heart attack."

Hopefully all goes well. Hoping for the best.

REMINDER: It is important to see the doctors regardless of perceived well being once you start getting up in the years. Might allow you to make necessary changes before catastrophic events.

Best wishes, mickeycrimm. Hope your recovery is swift and complete. FWIW, and IANAD, it seems hopeful that he was coherent enough to post on Twitter from the ICU.

May you have a quick recovery, Mickey. When you get out, I recommend plenty of exercise, preferably on a unicycle.

Meanwhile, I should visit Montana while I can without fear of being capped.

Now that is funny. You definitely need to visit Montana. The west side of the state is beautiful, check out the Bitterroot Vally, Glacier National Park, and Missoula is a nice little college town. The middle and east side of the state is more plains than anything else. My Father in Law lives in Saco Montana, about 30 miles south of Canada and is literally in the middle of nowhere,

of all the tons of poker rooms with very little business in montana, where is the best place for $1-2 PLO, $1-2 PLO8, $1-2 big 0, or $1-2 PL dealers choice? and Mickey is a good man, without his intervention, i never wouldve learned how to check the ocean magic machines and golden egypts.

its always good when people have a chance to confess their sins, and turn their life over to Jesus Christ before they die, as so many of us have lived for the devil most of the time. its a shame with people dont have any warning before they die.

Ignorant response Wiz. The guy never meant you any harm. Mick is a tough SOB but let the liquor talk at times. Has been sober for a few years and probably regrets a few posts.

Come on now, it's almost an insult to Mickey thinking that he couldn't appreciate or take a light hearted jab(no pun intended).

It's been over 20 years since I had a friend who had a bypass, opening his chest. He's still alive, but was never the same. Then I know people who just had a stent put in, and essentially good as new.

Mom had chest cracked at age 69. Was 6 days ICU, 12 days ward, 12 weeks home care. Had been swimming a mile a day before that. Got back to a mile a day for the next 10 years, but has diminished since. Hers was a valve replacement.

Even though I've never had a known heart attack, I always carry around aspirin just in case. It might be cheaper to die, but aspirin is the next cheapest thing.

Long term heart damage isn't very cheap either.

The smoking is keeping away the viruses and the drinking has completely pickled her and made her immune to all bacteria. Her body is so screwed up cancer is afraid of her.
