12-28-2012 - John Bergman's Heart attack
Below is an e-mail message received from John Bergman's wife Pat. Â Please keep John in your thoughts and prayers. Â I f you would like to send John your get well wishes you'll find his e-mail and snail mail addresses here on our website under 'Contact Classmates.'
On 12/12/12, John Bergman had a heart attack and was life flighted to Aultman Hospital in Canton. Â His artery was 100% Â blocked. Â Â The surgeon was waiting for him when the helicopter landed. Â Put in a stint to open the artery. Â The Dr. said if I wasn't home & got him to the hospital as fast as I did, he would have been gone in an hour. Â No damage to the heart. Â John didn't doctor or take any medicine, thought he was perfectly healthy. Â He had no pain or warning of a heart problem. Â
  He was out spliting wood and came in and said something isn't right because he couldn't get his breath.  Then sweat started running down his neck.  Home recuperating, doing ok, extremely tired.  Taking several medicines and needs therapy.  I feel blessed he's alive. Please keep him in your prayers.  Thank you,   Pat Bergman
