Diabetes, heart attack, arrhythmia, stents, pacemakers, renal failure, dialysis, muscle atrophy and rehab, but he’s back!

Yesterday, Larry finally was released to home confinement after a 59 day hospitalization. He has a long way to go, but it’s great to have him back and functioning.

As much as he’s been through, because of the news blackout, our fears were even worse.

He sounded like his old self on the radio. Emotional, laughing, crying, philosophical. Despite his problems and extended hospitalization, he sounded as strong as ever. The wheel chair and more rehabilitation are ahead, but that’s minor, in comparison to what he’s been through.

Larry, nice to have you back!!!

Thanks for the good news, JR. Something I’ve always respected about Larry Miller–he built the Delta Center himself, rather than asking the public to pay for it via some massive public bond. I really hate when owners–like those in Seattle–demand the public pay for a new arena rather than build schools or repair roads and threaten to leave the city if voters don’t comply. When you consider the investment Miller has made in this team, we really are lucky to have him.

By the way, what is the medical diagnosis for being a Jazzaholic? Watching games alone? Watching games before noon? Binge watching? Just curious…

A Jazzaholic is similar to an alcoholic, who is addicted to booze, but addicted to the Jazz (that type of Booze) instead.

It’s really my only sports interest.

My wife goes by MrsJazz(@hotmail.com), so she’s addicted too.

It’s a harmless addiction, until it comes time to renew our season tickets.

Every time Larry raises the prices, we try to kick the addiction, but just end up moving to cheaper seats. Next year we may buy seats in the parking lot.
