Michael Ryan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hello John, Your work over the years at Kodak has been awesome and the help you have given to lots of filmmakers on this site has been extremely valuable. But, John, you have lots of good work left to complete and the filmmaking community needs you around for a lot longer. Stay positive, keep focused on your task at hand and we will all send our good thoughts and prayers. You are needed. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always in my thought and I pray for your speedy recovery. May I invite all the forum participants to also join me to pray for John's health and ensure he will be active again to contribute in the forum, We still need you. Regards and lots of love to you, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Alessandro Machi Posted September 25, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 Saw my surgeon today. Looks like surgery will be in mid November, after I am off the blood thinners needed to prevent clotting around the new coronary stent. Hey John, I'll think positive thoughts for you. When you get close to your surgery date (around 4 days before), you might need to stop taking aspirin as well, definitely ask them about it (if you happen to be taking aspirin), sometimes the docs forget to mention that one.

Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted September 27, 2006 Author Premium Member Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hey John, I'll think positive thoughts for you. When you get close to your surgery date (around 4 days before), you might need to stop taking aspirin as well, definitely ask them about it (if you happen to be taking aspirin), sometimes the docs forget to mention that one. Thanks. I'm very aware that I will need to be off the aspirin and Plavix for some time before the surgery. I'm meeting with my cardiologist to determine the best schedule. There is some risk, as the normal time for being on the blood thinners for a bare metal stent is at least three months. But we can't delay too long in going after the cancer, so mid-November seemed the best compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ole Dost Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Dear John, My best wishes for you! Beeing a cinematographer is just my hobby. My "job" is beeing a lutheran church pastor. And as a pastor I want to pray for you -may God help you to experience a quick and complete recovery! Thank you for all the help on the forum! God bless you, OLe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted October 22, 2006 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 22, 2006 Again, thank you for all the good wishes! :) I am recovering very well from the heart attack. I am doing three cardiac rehab sessions each week, and they are upping the level of exertion each time to reach my "target" heart rate. Having a follow-up CAT scan on Wednesday (Oct 25), which will determine the extent of surgery needed for the appendix cancer. Can't have any surgery until mid November, after I am taken off the Plavix and Aspirin that were required to prevent clotting around the new coronary stent. For now, no further symptoms from the appendix cancer --- I've put all my lost weight back on, have a good appetite, no bleeding, and no pains or cramping.
