Get well, Todd! Recently saw a post calling him the "Santa Claus of PInball" - I think that's a pretty good description.

I do thank everyone who have emailed and texted me (plus facebooking me) during my "journey!" 6 days in ICU and 2 regular room days to recover from what I was told was a full heart attack. Flowers and cards were all appreciated! I now sleep with a "Darth Vader" type mask that seems to do wonders with breathing--its just room air, but it seems to time itself around my breathing, and I sleep soundly WITHOUT snoring! (I woke up with the heart attack--this sleeping issue triggered it!)
I received 4 "stints" in two separate surgeries...one was very far along and the doctor said it was a first for him getting it that far and very tricky. I was incredibly well treated at Holy Redeemer from many caring people. I will take it easy getting back to previous work loads over next month, while on a goal to lose 60 pounds. I tire fast, but am picking up speed! I thank the Lord for helping through this entire ordeal too!
Went to TNT 2 hours on Fri and 2 hours on Sat..and now the long weekend...will try 2 hours Tuesday!
Thanks again for all your thoughts to help me through this! It's wonderful to know I can count on so many people!! Todd
Okay so my learning of his coming surgery early yesterday morning - I talked with him at roughly 8 am - was when he told me of the 1 pm bypass surgery. Then two surgeries yesterday and last night again, the second one unplanned, updates the story to now. Sorry for my incomplete if up to date information gang. He is doing better tonight. Steve
He is a great ambassador of our beloved hobby. He truly makes pinball more fun! Best wishes to Todd and his loved ones.

If you read this Todd, don't focus on losing 60 pounds. Focus on being healthy and the weight will naturally fall off. Your goal every day is to live a healthy lifestyle. You need to break your addiction to sugar and simple carbs...only way to do it is to go all in and completely give them up. Breaking an addiction to junk food isn't easy, I know from experience, but the reward is greater than you can possible imagine, I also speak from experience on that.
Get well my friend, this hobby wouldn't be the same without you so take the time to get well. Your family and pinball family want / need you good sir!!
Adding on to what everyone has said and knows...Todd’s a great guy who is such a great resource and ambassador to the hobby! His personality is amazing and his uncanny ability to come up with some of the craziest answers is always welcome! Corresponded with and purchased things from him several times and really hope I have the opportunity to meet him in the future...get well and to reflect with all others...prayers and thoughts are with you and your family!!
Come on Todd Tucker, you know too much and have too much to contribute, so no checking out now thanks!
Get well mate and loose that weight, it’ll change your life.
Best wishes.
I enjoy your sense of humor and love watching your videos. If I'm going to look at a game, I check and see if you've made a video of it at some time.
I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Prayers for a speedy recovery Todd. As a bypass recipient (2 years this July). I know where you are brother. There’s light on the other side. LOVE your passion and videos!
