Dave Young could use some support

[Bob Rusnak]

Dave Young from Jamesport L.I. went through some major surgery yesterday. He had a heart valve repaired and a bypass done. The opperation went well and the last message from his wife Pam was Dave was in the intensive care unit at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, NY. Dave was the 2008 BSH National Champion and been racing over 40 years with his 94-N stock hydro's and Runabouts. He will have a long recovery time and could use some cheering up. I will follow up with Dave's progress as I hear more....Bob N-96

Tough old Rollo!!!

Christine just spoke with Pam and he is already sitting up! The airways were removed last night and it is expected that he will be out of ICU after his doctor visits this afternoon. Get well soon Dave, we are thinking about you!

Just talked to Dad and he sounds good. His throat is a little sore form having his airway cleared and he feels "like he was kicked in the chest by a cow" but he was in good spirits and wants to let everyone know he says hello. Jeff he paid the doctor and extra $1000 for each m/h he gained from weight loss. They were able to repair the valve in his heart rather than replace it and he had a single bypass. Unfortunately the doctor was not familiar with installing flack material in his chest so he will still need to re certify his life jacket. I had a pretty good feeling that everything went well when I was outside last night on the helideck of the oil rig and looked up to see a perfect crescent moon.

Recovery

Wishing Dave all the best in his recovery. Dave and I raced with EORC back on the Island in the 60s. A fearless driver until I had him run my CU after I retired from racing.
Wear the rail road tracks on your chest with pride, I do.
Will have you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

Dave, Wish you a speedy recovery. You'll have some time during this period to come up with a few innovations which will add an MPH or two. Hope to see N-94 at Lock Haven again this year.

Dave,
Just a single by-pass and a valve job? Piece of cake! You'll be back in time for Millville. Six weeks and you'll feel like a million bucks, more energy than you've had in years. Who knows, maybe your brain will get more blood and you won't be so stupid anymore( it didn't work for me but I've heard rumors). Wish you well, buddy.

Heart Valve

Hey Dave,
Is a heart valve like a check valve in a fuel pump? You probably had a few extras laying around the shop. You could have had this operation in the pits and saved a few bucks.
Get well quickly, Phil Doerle
