Lou B has taken himself off the moderator list and has stepped away from LymeNet in order to take care of himself.
We, at LymeNet, wish him great health and give him all the support he needs to better his health and well being.
I don't have much free time, so if you have sent me PMs or Reported Posts, please bare with me!
In the meantime, please keep Lou in your thoughts and prayers!

Hang in there, Lou -- thanks so very much for all you do! what a guy Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
hi jenifer,
would you please post the MODERATOR RULES Lou has worked on so hard these last 3 years after his major heart attacks?
he told me he finished them getting them to you, and i think it would help all members to know what is in them and what the SPECIFIC DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES the moderators will have before they volunteer.
examples:
will they be able to DELETE "PORNO & SPAMMER" posts we receive; rarely actual porn but several spammer posts per day?
will they be able to move a post from 1 forum to another where it definitely belongs? seeking drs. and FEEDBACK on various drs.
banning will be only done by you, jenifer, and eventually when lou b is able to return to the board after recuperating to the fullest he is able to
i do think it is crucial whoever you select jenifer be allowed to DELETE PROMPTLY the spammers/porno especially with the graphic photos we've recently gone thru.
thanks jenifer; i look forward to viewing the moderator rules loub wrote up.... Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Thanks Jenifer for sharing this information. Hope you get some much needed help soon!
My best, always, to our best... Mr. LouB and his family!

i asked her if she's heard and to please come on here and update us on lou's surgery, etc. so hopefully we'll hear something from someone soon.
sending lou and angela my prayers that everything went well for lou, and each day he is getting stronger. Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
jenifer sent me a brief note;
NO, she's not heard from lou b.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Still waiting. Let's hope no news is GOOD news!!
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Guess it is ok to share some news I got a few days ago. Thought maybe someone else would have heard by now or posted something.
Lou is resting and recouping on a beach (he describes it as Paradise) with family.
His surgery went very well... and he said he feels well... and is healing nicely.
Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
tincup,
so glad to read this GOOD note on lou's surgery going well and his being on the beach recuping!!
tell angela and lou hi from me.

Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
tincup,
have you heard any more from angela or lou? please update us all....thanks.
Posted by Lou B (Member # 64) on :
Hey ... I'm here.
The ICD implant was successful and I'm healing and recovering. Right now, I'm chillin' and not doing too much, physically or mentally ... enjoying some down-time!
For a few more weeks I'm like a bird with one wing ... can't use my left arm for any lifting and can't raise it above my shoulder because of the risk of displacing the wire from the ICD, which is implanted just under my left collarbone, that has been threaded through a vein into my heart. The placement of the wire is very precise and if it moves it would require another surgery to re-position the wire. I could not drive for a while but my doctor lifted that restriction last week. They will also re-test the ICD, which means inducing cardiac arrest to see if the ICD restarts my heart. Of course, they will have the external defib hooked up "just in case" the ICD fails to restart my heart. Not fun but necessary. Bottom line, I'll be fine, I'm doing OK.
Here at LymeNet, I'll be taking a back-up role as a System Administrator, assisting the Moderators when / if they need help, guidance, someone to provide advice, etc.
Take care,
Posted by AliG (Member # 9734) on :
So nice to see you Lou!!!!
I'm so glad you're "taking care of you". I hope that you'll be back to all the things you're used to doing real soon.
Thanks for checking in! You're still in my thoughts & prayers.
Heal well, my friend!
hugs & prayers, Ali
Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
welcome back lou b
we here sure have missed your presence ...
GLAD YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOU!! your favorite phrase...
so happy things went well for you and you are recouping well with angela. wow, that would be hard NOT to move causing displacement of that wire.
so glad you popped in here for a personal appearance. may you continue daily to get stronger and praying all goes well with your upcoming testing.
tell angela hi; enjoy the beach weather while you can.
stop again sometime for updates on yourself my friend. hugs
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Finally!!! I was getting worried about "no reports!"
So happy to hear that you are relaxing and taking time to breathe and enjoy life.
Sure have missed you!! (and your happy face )

But, sounds like you will be up and swinging soon.
