The First Surgery was Wednesday, this was the ablation part. This surgery is designed to “”Burn-Off”” the additional electrical connections or impulses that caused the heart to beat out of rhythm – top of heart beating at 188 beats per minute verse the bottom of the heart beating at 70 beats per minute.
To many chiefs and not enough Indians to carry the load.
The Second Surgery was Thursday afternoon - this was for the implant of a Pacemaker-Defibrillator.
Initially, we were under the impression that everything would be done at the same time first surgery took 4 hours 10 minutes to “”clean up”” the miss fires and other testing. The second was just under 3 hours, so I was on the table for a little over 7 hours.
There was some minor problems at first, but the Tech from Medtronic’s came in around 8.00PM Thursday Evening an made some adjustments in the Pacemaker-Defibrillator. He put a Modem over the Pacemaker-Defibrillator and made the necessary adjustments. In a couple of weeks I get a device to attaché to the bedroom phone that will monitor the heart at night or whenever I get within 12 feet,
I have to wear a sling on my left arm for the next few weeks, current plans are back to driving and other activities in 3 weeks.

Prayers Needed for Clifton Family
It is very uncharacteristic for me to ask for anything; however, I was wondering if you could ask the knights to pray for my wife and sister and for support to the families (kids, siblings and parents).
My wife, Kathy Clifton, is in advanced stages of ovarian cancer and not doing well at all. My sister was recently told that her pancreatic cancer has spread to her liver and has been given 6-12 months.

Spaghetti Dinner Approaching
Don't forget that in place of the July meeting we are having a Spaghetti Dinner.
One of the main reasons for doing this dinner is becase it has been to long since we last did one and the director's decided that doing it on a meeting night might make it easier for those with families to attend along with their families.
We will have our meeting at 7 p.m. and it will be brief and we will shoot to start the spaghetti dinner at 7:30. The diner will also include a very short program that will include a little presentation on what the council does, so our families have a better idea of what we are doing while we are away from home, and also to present the Knight of the Year award.
Make sure to invite all of your family and other friends who might make good knights, they can even invite their families too.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
