   I just open my FB and in Charlie's wall he posted this, about 10 hours ago
   
   
   'Oh no. I feel like I might have to call 911. Something is not right, I will be in hospital if y'all don't hear from me. I will wait a bit. Don't panic please.'
   
   
   So please all, pray for him!
   thanks !!

         Get off the grass, Whats with you religious people?  I think the so called heathens have more soul, seriously they do!  Tantrum is letting us know, He is great and I am sure like Cindy said he will be fine, especially since he was able to hit the Facebook pages and then dial 911.
         Best wishes from me and my alter ego mandy  for a fast recovery Ralwus.

    And while some people themselves may not pray, they wont discourage believers from doing so. This is most certainly NOT the place to have a "discussion" of beliefs. Lets all just be supportive of our beloved Ralwus!

       Yes! Excellent sentiments, Justine. This is absolutely not the the time to play silly games about how one prays or meditates, or to whom they're sending those thoughts. Is it not enough that one of our own is ill and needs to know that people care for him? Can't we all just send him our positive thoughts and do whatever our equivalent to prayer is without getting sidetracked about who sent the message? I know I will.

    This was just posted on Charlie's FB wall:
    
    I talked to Shirley (Charlie's Wife). He's been admitted to the hospital yesterday for Congestive Heart Failure. He's doing okay, but they are going to run a battery of tests today. She's going to call me tonight with an update, but she asked if I would let everyone know what's going on and to please pray for him. She could use a few, too.

          Thanks for that, I guess I could have used Google, duh! I had a heart attack almost 5 years ago and those things suck so I hope he looks after that heart. I had to get a pacemaker/defibrillator put in my chest in case my heart says "fuck you for everything you ever did to me" and quits beating. Good luck Ralwus!

       TheGlassSpiderposted 13 years agoin reply to this

       I'm sure there's much more technical information out there, but from my understanding it's not like a heart attack. I understand that the body has difficulty removing excess fluid from the blood stream and that this fluid can build up in the lungs and around the heart (hence the "congestive" part...it sounds like congestion); this in turn makes the heart have to work harder.
       
       My grandmother had this. Fortunately, there are treatments that can help ralwus live a long life. If the rest of him his relatively healthy, they can help remove the fluid. He can make dietary and lifestyle changes (if he hasn't already) that will help his body create less fluid, and get rid of excess fluid more efficiently. It's a serious condition, and I'm glad he's getting help, but there's probably also a good chance for his recovery.
       
       Keep sending those prayers and positive thoughts!

    Congestive heart failure is a build-up of fluid around the heart and can be fatal, but he is in the right place and I am sure they will be giving him the very best care.
