GigaBugbee? GigaWho?? GigaWHAT???

To my peers, friends and associates...
I just wanted to drop by and to all of you say hello. As some of you know I have been dealing with a heart condition for a while now. I was in the hospital right before the 06 Phoenix Forum but released in time to go to AZ for the golf Tournament. Upon returning to LA I was admitted to the hospital and well from there it has all been downhill. I have been here for a while but wanted to reach out to the people I miss (you know who you are) and give you an update.

I am doing much better and getting better everyday. I am still awaiting a heart transplant at UCLA Medical center and have had some close calls but not quite the "perfect match". I am on a machine called a Bi-VAD created by a company called thoratec www.thoratec.com, which has kept me mobile and stronger each day. It is what they call a "bridge" device so it takes over for my heart and keeps it running until they are able to find me a match for a transplant. Unfortunately I was to sick to wait without doing something drastic so two open heart surgeries later here I am. I am currently waiting at what you call 1-A status, which is at the top of the heart transplant list. The machine is amazing and has really made a HUGE difference in my condition as well as status, I look and feel better than ever I just need a new heart so we can take me off of the VAD.

I actually may be going home in early October to wait for a heart from home. They recently changed the laws so I can stay at 1-A status while at home as opposed to dropping down to B-1 status. This is obviously very exciting for my family and me. I will be the very first transplant patient to go home and wait on a Bi-VAD from UCLA as well as one of the first to go home and remain on 1-A status, pretty cool. Plus I basically run this place now and a few people want their jobs back lol

So I am starting to spend a few hours a day online and getting back in the swing of things now that I am feeling stronger. I have kept in touch with quite a few industry peeps as well as had the opportunity to do a lot of planning and research regarding the biz. Thank to all who have visited, prayed or sent me gifts ;o)

Oct. 3rd is our target date for me to go home and await a new heart it also is the date that will mark the 26th-week or 182nd-day or 4,368-hour exactly half of a year in the hospital depending on how you look at it. Not that I am counting or anything.

Please feel free to ICQ me at 258214660 or email [email protected] (I am only using the bugbee@ address right now) if you have my cell # use it or even come and see me before I head home.

I just want to say thanks to everyone?s thoughts, prayers and support whether I know you or not. I would not have been able to get thru this without my immediate family, my other family Alec, Elli, Mike and Moe Helmy (who mind you have all been amazing thru these incredibly horrific times) and my peers, friends and associates.

Well I will bid you all ado for now but I miss you all more than you know (ok most of you) and can't wait to swap stories and see you all. If anyone has questions or comments etc. regarding anything personnel or business do not hesitate to hit me up I would love to hear from any of you. I also am usually on ICQ I am just always invisible and lurking around he he he.... Keep me in your thoughts and pray for a new heart but until then look forward to seeing me around and after my transplant look forward to seeing me around for a LONG LONG TIME!

Best regards much love and respect

i don't know you but i really wish you the best and hope a heart drops your way as soon as possible.

they should make it a law that upon our deaths our organs are fair game for harvesting - it's religious nonsense and for those that just don't do it cuz it's creepy or they don't think of it - shame on us. Whether you believe in God and heaven and all that the one thing we know - our bodies are no longer any use to us when we die - give somebody else a chance to continue living.

Hye Bugbee, it's good to finally have some news from you!
I was trying to contact you after the Phoenix Forum, to thank you for organizing such a great golf event. That's when I learned of your condition.

It's great to hear that you may be able to get home while staying 1-A.

Take care, and I hope you have some hot nurses taking care of you. ;)

Chris

Bugbee! It was great seeing you the other day and so nice to see how much better you havee gotten. Now dont forget that the business will still be here after you get all done with the transplant, so dont work too much man.

Stay strong my friend and see you again soon.

I am doing much better and getting better everyday. I am still awaiting a heart transplant at UCLA Medical center and have had some close calls but not quite the "perfect match". I am on a machine called a Bi-VAD created by a company called thoratec www.thoratec.com, which has kept me mobile and stronger each day. It is what they call a "bridge" device so it takes over for my heart and keeps it running until they are able to find me a match for a transplant. Unfortunately I was to sick to wait without doing something drastic so two open heart surgeries later here I am. I am currently waiting at what you call 1-A status, which is at the top of the heart transplant list. The machine is amazing and has really made a HUGE difference in my condition as well as status, I look and feel better than ever I just need a new heart so we can take me off of the VAD.

I actually may be going home in early October to wait for a heart from home. They recently changed the laws so I can stay at 1-A status while at home as opposed to dropping down to B-1 status. This is obviously very exciting for my family and me. I will be the very first transplant patient to go home and wait on a Bi-VAD from UCLA as well as one of the first to go home and remain on 1-A status, pretty cool. Plus I basically run this place now and a few people want their jobs back lol

So I am starting to spend a few hours a day online and getting back in the swing of things now that I am feeling stronger. I have kept in touch with quite a few industry peeps as well as had the opportunity to do a lot of planning and research regarding the biz. Thank to all who have visited, prayed or sent me gifts ;o)

Oct. 3rd is our target date for me to go home and await a new heart it also is the date that will mark the 26th-week or 182nd-day or 4,368-hour exactly half of a year in the hospital depending on how you look at it. Not that I am counting or anything.

Please feel free to ICQ me at 258214660 or email [email protected] (I am only using the bugbee@ address right now) if you have my cell # use it or even come and see me before I head home.

I just want to say thanks to everyone?s thoughts, prayers and support whether I know you or not. I would not have been able to get thru this without my immediate family, my other family Alec, Elli, Mike and Moe Helmy (who mind you have all been amazing thru these incredibly horrific times) and my peers, friends and associates.

Well I will bid you all ado for now but I miss you all more than you know (ok most of you) and can't wait to swap stories and see you all. If anyone has questions or comments etc. regarding anything personnel or business do not hesitate to hit me up I would love to hear from any of you. I also am usually on ICQ I am just always invisible and lurking around he he he.... Keep me in your thoughts and pray for a new heart but until then look forward to seeing me around and after my transplant look forward to seeing me around for a LONG LONG TIME!

Best regards much love and respect
Now that is the best news i've heard all month. So glad to hear you're doing better Stephen. I can't wait to get out on the golf course again with you bro.

Wow. Awesome

Hi Bugbee,

Thank you for spending the time to update us. That is fantastic that you are at the top of the list now and can also go home until the new heart arrives. We will continue to pray for you and keep you in our thoughts. I look forward to the day you are back at the trade shows.

I'm close by in Newbury Park - if you want a visitor to break the pace when you return home, call me anytime.

Take Care,

Mike

Hey Bugbee!

I was just wondering how you were a couple of weeks ago. Great to hear things are looking up and best wishes of course on finding a match.

I expect to see you at Boogie's in no time!

John
