He had an awful last two art shows. Mudslides wiped out several canopies at
the Cleveland show. Luckily not his but he still lost about $15,000 in
lower-hanging artwork due to mud not to mention all the carpeting he had in
the canopy. Some of the paintings can be cleaned (canvas is pretty
forgiving). But he stretches his own on hand-built frames and the wood is
warped.
And his ex-girlfriend ran over his dog. No, not on purpose, but why was she
even over there? He had a friend pet sitting. Then he got a phone call,
she backed over his dog and killed it. Oh god!
On the drive home (800 miles) he started having chest pains and cold sweats.
He pulled over and took a couple of aspirin which eased things up. Yes,
he's under a cardiologist's care and yes, he carries nitroglycerine caps
with him.
He's already had two heart attacks, the last one resulted in a quintuple
bypass. I'm terribly worried about him. He's home now but I need to
convince him to go back to the doctor. Maybe his meds need adjusting or
something.
Anyway, purrs please! I cannot lose him after finding him all these years
later!
OB Cats: His big fat cat is named Kidder :) Kidder sort of rivals Lori's
Samazon except Kidder is a peanut-butter shade. I think Kidder weighs close
to 20 lbs.

Purrs for John and purrs for you, it must be more worrying when you can't be
with him.

Many purrs and hopefully some of that artwork can be reframed.

When he's on the road he mostly eats tuna fish or ham sandwiches. I'm sure
his cat would approve. LOL

Purrs for your LLL. You do need to find a way to "make" him get a
checkup--just for his (and your) peace of mind. Could be something
else, too; I've had chest pain/sweating with gastro-type episodes.
Aspirin also makes it "go away". What you described certainly sounds
worthy of causing enough to stress for that kind of upset.
Tuna is good, but he probably already knows mayo is the Devil. I used
to love tuna sandwiches, but the fat-free mayo just isn't as good. :-(
Hope he and his art recovers. I can't imagine putting so much work and
heart into an object then having it covered in mud. Poor guy.

The same thing happened to my ex-husband. His ex-girlfriend ran over
his dog, too. What's that all about?

Some exes run over the former spouse or lover instead.

Purrs are on the way. Is there no insurance to cover the loss?

Nope. The shows don't have even liability insurance. And you can't exactly
cover paintings that are here one day and sold the next. It's a crap shoot.
I'm more concerned about his health although he does seem to be feeling
better now.

That stinks, especially since he isn't feeling well and not making the sales
he had hoped.
I'm guessing his practical side says he can restore the paintings. And his
creative side would rather make new ones.

Oh, my goodness, the poor guy! Well of course his heart's acting up with
all this terrible stuff happening! How scary, though. And his poor dog! :(
Multiple purrs for John to feel better, and for things to go better for
him!

Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness

You know, I read some statistics that having heart disease lowers a
man's life expectancy by 6 years, but being married raises his life
expectancy by 10 years.
