[at-l] Mr Clean aka Jamie Waines in hospital - Lyme disease

["FannyPack - David Atkinson" <at_l96@hotmail.com>]

Just talked to Mr Clean aka Jamison Waines 908-852-5100 room 313-2 in 
Hacketstown, NJ hospital... & he told me the following about his condition:
He was at Eckville Shelter about 3 or 4 days ago and he checked his pulse 
and it was about 25 so he decided it was time to get out of the denial mode 
& call his friend Dan, [mailto:dan2460@hotmail.com] , in NJ because Jamie 
felt that he definitely would be admitted to the hospital so he wanted to be 
near friends so that is why he called Dan.  He had been feeling tired but 
what hiker doesn't.  He said he was diagnosed with 3rd degree heart block 
(caused by the Lyme disease), so he was put in the intensive care cardiac 
care unit.. Jamie says that many persons with this heart condition caused by 
the Lyme disease would have to have a pacemaker (pretty serious stuff)  but 
because of his youth & good cardio-vascular condition he did not need a 
pacemaker.   He should be released from the hospital in several days & will 
be staying in the Hacketstown, NJ area with Dan while he returns to the 
hospital for treatment that at this time will go on indefinitely.

If u haven't met Mr Clean yet, u have missed meeting a nice as well as 
humble person...
