John Fox has "suspected" heart attack

[Jackofalltrades]

It looks like quite a few misreported this as a heart attack. There's a huge difference between dizziness and a heart attack.

No kidding, was a stroke ever mentioned? Low blood sugar? High blood pressure? The list is seemingly endless but it's more funner to just jump to conclusions.

Get well John Fox... You will always be remembered as the man to get us to our first superbowl.

 

I want to say it is good to see some class from our forum.   Fox left under some strained relations.   I am glad everyone put aside their bad feelings and wished him well.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox will undergo an aortic heart valve replacement next week, which will keep him away from the team for "at least the next several weeks," the team announced late Saturday night.

Fox was taken to a hospital in the Charlotte area earlier Saturday after feeling light-headed while playing golf, the club told USA TODAY Sports. Fox did not suffer a heart attack but underwent a battery of tests that revealed the need for immediate surgery.

"Coach Fox was advised by doctors months ago that his defective aortic valve would require this procedure following the 2013 season," the team said in a statement.

"As part of his trip to North Carolina over the bye week, he had a preoperative appointment on Thursday with his doctor, who informed him to seek medical attention immediately if he felt any discomfort.

"On Saturday, Coach Fox began feeling light-headed while golfing with friends. He was taken to a hospital, where testing revealed he needed to have this procedure as soon as possible.

Contrary to media reports, Fox "did not have a heart attack," Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth told USA TODAY Sports earlier in the day, adding that Fox was in "good spirits" and up walking and talking while undergoing testing.

I hate that this has to be done midseason. Get well soon Fox

Fox yells, cusses, and goes crazy on the sideline. No big deal.

Puts one in the drink at Quail Hollow? Heart attack

Or maybe because he has a house on the golf course he was playing on.

Wish him nothing but the best. I hope he is able to return to coaching this season. If the panthers don't win the superbowl, I wouldn't mind foxy getting one.

Get well soon John Fox.

Bronco fan checking in. I just wanted to say thanks for all the very classy responses. My sister has been a Panther fan from day one, so I keep up with the team and root for them if they're not playing Denver. I've always respected coach Fox and I was very happy when the Broncos signed him. 

 

Enjoy feasting on the Falcons today.

I had the same valve replacement surgery that John Fox is having, it's usually a genetic thing. Got it from my dad who passed away at 59 from it. Depending on how the surgery is done (don't know if they'll need to open his chest), it could be longer than 2 months before he's back at work full time. I took 2 months from work but, honestly, it takes a good 9-12 months to make a full recovery. With the Bronco trainers helping, his could be sooner.

 

Good luck, best wishes, Fox. Believe me, you'll feel like poo at first then like a million bucks. Get the tissue valve .... you don't want to be clicking on the sidelines lol.

Asked about the situation I bet he said "It is what it is"
