Prayers to Cyrus Jones - Open Heart Surgery

[shmessy]

Much good thoughts and prayers to Cyrus Jones today!

I know it didn't work out for him in NE, but he seemed like a really good kid who was just trying his best. I was struck by an article after his rookie season where he had confided to someone that he couldn't sleep for weeks after the season because he was so disappointed with his play. They are human being, folks.

Wow.

Teens or adults with unknown ACA may have an initial episode of chest pain, heart failure, or even sudden cardiac death before the condition is recognized.

I loved him at Alabama. He was a good returner there. I have one of his autographed Alabama jerseys in my closet.

My prayers and good wishes to him and those around him.

FWIW, I had open heart surgery in 2015. It took me 6 weeks before I was allowed to ride in a car, and about 6 months to get back to my old self, being able to get around easy and such.

That whole 6-weeks rest and stay out of cars is to allow the sternum to knit itself back together.

Really? How about wishing the poor guy some good luck?

Sure. But that doesn’t really have much to do with this situation. Hopefully he makes it out of this okay. He’s a millennial, so he should be able to battle through it.

whether it was a wiff is irrelevant, have some class, save it for another thread and time.

Life is more important than football. He seems like an outstanding person and that’s more important than an outstanding football player.

Yikes. So reading a little bit looks like his heart muscle wasn't getting the bloodflow/oxygen it needed.

Hope he'll have a normal life. Sounds like his football career might be over though?

All the best for Cyrus Jones wow hope he has a full recovery in life.

Congenital. Had it since before he was born. Part of his birthright, in the hand he was dealt along with his athletic gifts he got this wildcard. Not dissimilar from Tedy, who had a congenital heart defect. Good thing for both of them is being in peak physical condition to go through the recovery process. Cyrus is fortunate that it was discovered and corrected before he had serious problems. Glad that it was an operable condition.

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and that his quality of life will be 100%..

All the best to Cyrus in his surgery and recovery.

What does a Millennial have to do with anything?

What does a Millennial have to do with anything?

He’s young and strong... not old, decrepit, and weak like a Gen Xer or a Boomer. He should be able to make a quick recovery per his strong, young, millennial genes.

Wishing him all the best, always seemed like a high character guy while he was here.
