Ralph's in the Hospital for some replumbing, He had been a bit off, and his shop mates Talked him into going to the hospital, Good thing , 95% blockage , Ralph had more surgery today, another stent. I hope it went well. He is in the place that fixes this stuff.
here is a link from Pelican with his contact info.

If all Ralph had were stents placed he should be good as practically new in a day or two... There is a world of difference between stents and open heart surgery. One is a 'procedure' that takes an hour or so, the other is an 'operation' that takes a good deal of recovery time. Technique and anesthesia have improved dramatically over the last few decades but it used to be you could plan on six months or so of convelescence. Now, they have you extubated in the operating room, sitting up on the side of the bed in 8 hours, and home in a week or so... Not easy but if you are otherwise fairly healthy not "hell" either...

Best of luck to Ralph. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
