Title: Prayers for Mike Gallagher
Post by: 454MRW on July 07, 2014, 03:29:45 PM
Due to a formerly unseen cardiac condition, Mike Gallagher will be undergoing some heart related tests on Thursday and at his DR's orders will not be able to make the drive to Mid-Ohio this year. Please keep him in your prayers for a good report from the DR. and hopefully it will be something that can be easily treated. Mike

Mike, be sure to explain to the pretty nurses what that tattoo on your arm is all about, PENTON.
Best of luck.

I visited and stayed with Mike at his home 9 or 10 days ago. He sold 14 motorcycles to me. I really enjoyed myself, we had a heck of a good time, he was very gracious. I was concerned, he did have a couple spells a day where he would perspire, tremble a little, and have to sit down and rest. I told him he should see a doctor about it. My gosh, I certainly hope he gets medical answers about how to overcome this, and gets healthy real soon. I consider Mike a great friend and a wonderful person. If you read this Mike, please let me / us know how you're doing.

Mike, We've never met but I'm sending prayers your way. Glad you doctors caught it and I hope you have a speedy recovery. The photos of the bikes that you sold tell me you are a real enthusiast and you did an awesome job of keeping them so original. Best wishes, Eric

Dang Mike,

Even though we have never met we are bothers in arms due to our shared passion of vintage dirt bikes. You cut it too close on this one though. Get well SOON!  Hope you have some really pretty nurses!

Early Friday morning at VMD two men came to the tent.  They asked about a big guy, accent, who talked a lot with a Penton tattoo on his arm.  The person they were looking for was always the first one at the gate Thursday morning for vendor setup.  Mike, they missed seeing you and conversation and send you their well wishes as we all do.  It wasn't quite the same Pentonville with your empty space evident next to the tree.  Let us know what's up when you get a chance!

i stayed at mike's place over the weekend and we enjoyed the time. he seems to be hanging in there despite trying to get some medication regulated properly. he had another appointment with the doctor today, i think,  and he wants to express his heartfelt thanks for the thoughts and prayers sent his way.      chi jer

With tears in my eyes and the outpouring support where do i begin other then to say THANK YOU !!!
you guys are as good to me as my family, better yet you are my Family :-)))

I have an elevated heart rate and blood pressure cond., my Dr. has me on meds that seem to have things some what subdued, i have an appointment with the Cardioligist on the 24th and will have a better idea of my heart condition and what lies ahead for the future, i guess i have to stop being my own worst enemy :-))) and make some life changes !!

i truly missed attending Mid-Ohio this year but you guys would have most likly hogged tied me and sent me to the ER - LOL -

Robert W. and ChicagoJerry can give you 1st hand info on how bad i was, although the meds i am currently taking since Monday are having a good effect on me they are not a fix, will wait to see what the Cardio Dr. has to say,

OK, i will keep everyone in the loop,
thanks again and i Luv ya Bros,

regards,




Mike Gallagher, NJ.
