It would seem you're gonna be stuck with Johnny a bit longer...

Johnny's heart has been testing poorly. He had an echo cardiogram in November that just didn't look right and a closer look revealed bad things.

Very bad.

He went for a stress test in Saginaw this morning with one of two outcomes being possible: A double bypass open-heart zipper job or a hearty handshake with, "Nothing else can be done, good luck to you" as the other possible outcome. It's not hard to choose one from these two awful options but Johnny's heart handled the stress test with aplomb and so a surgery date will be set.

Now you know what all this health talk has been about. And you'll have to deal with Johnny a while longer.
