ART "MADE IT" AFTER HEART ABLATION SURGERY

 

Art Krummel has surgery; up to 3 months to recover

 

Scary situation but hopeful post about former BJ art department chief Art Krummel from his wife, former BJ reporter Charlene Nevada:

“Art is out of the heart ablation surgery. Healing can take up to 3 months. But he made it."

Art and Charlene lived in Tallmadge, as I do, but in 2010 bought a 2^nd home in Garden City, South Carolina and in 2014 and later use it as a retreat from Ohio winters.

Garden City is 13 miles from Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where retired BJ printer lived till he passed away and BJ business department retiree Harold McElroy did before Harold also passed away.

Let’s hold and breath and pray for Art’s steady recovery.

For who didn’t know, as I didn’t till I looked it up, heart ablation tries to fix atrial fabulation (Afib).

Sometimes medications can help. Blood thinners lower the risk of blood clots of strokes.

When those aren’t good enough, then Afib becomes an option. And also involves a Pacemaker, which I’ve had for years and it works quite well.
