Matt,
We've never met, nor spoken, but we've exchanged ideas about what's important in this hobby.
We have goals for ourselves and need to be stubborn to achieve them.
A little over 2 years ago, my doctor told me I had heart disease and had maybe 5 more years. Last year I had another test and he said I've got 10 years. 2 months ago I had a test and he said I performed almost like a guy with no heart problems at all.
I think sometimes a healthy mental attitude and a firm conviction to see your goals through does wonders. I know you're made of the "right stuff", so I expect you to be around for a long time.
Be strong!

Verne.

Matt

Keep the Faith and you will prevail over this thing.I know that ATTITUDE is a major part in overcoming obstacles like this.I had a MASSIVE heart attack in 1995 and lost 50% of my heart.I have been through surgerys,have a pacemaker and difibulator all hooked up inside and am currently awaiting a heart transplant,I am not able to do what I used to do but I do what I can everyday.I guess you could say I am sort of like an old 427 engine with 4 plug wires off,missing a little but still running(LOL).All in all I have kept the faith and for the most part have been able to maintain a positive attitude.By all rights I should have been long gone but I am still kicking and will kick all the way.I know you are a person that will deal with the problem head on and will keep kicking also.You and your Family will be in my Prayers.Also you are like me in a way we both have a few more classic cars to own before it is time to go.

God Bless

Bobby Dodson

Matt,
Stay strong, you'll be tested in ways you never expected. Take care of those things that are most important, and may God be with you and your family!

Mowtown,
By now, you must realize we are all pulling for you! I am not much of a gambler but my money is on you Dude! Do your best to keep an open mind....tough at times I know, but from what I hear, you are the one guy who can accomplish just that.

No matter how hard, stay strong and try to take comfort in knowing we are all thinking of you and have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Take Care,
Ann
