Update: A few weeks ago fellow slinger and Hot Dog Profits Premium member Paul “Chappy” Chapman underwent surgery to correct a heart arrhythmia. Chappy slings hot dogs in Stockton California from his beautiful E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart.
His forced down time was the inspiration for an article about what happens when you can’t sling hot dogs for six weeks.
Since we posted that article I have been inundated with people asking how Paul was doing. I’ll let Chappy tell you in his own words…

Good morning my Friend. Well I am sure feeling better.
I still have one more surgery to go in about 1 1/2 to 2 months. I wont be out as long as this first go around. I sure is great to see your heart beating like it should.
I am going to try to attach a couple of photos of my first day back at my flea market gig. My grandson came to help, or I would not have been
able to do it. I am not at a full 100% yet.
We did quite well, with a little over $200.00. A lot of my regulars were surprised that I was back, and attendance was down because it was colder than usual. I pray that next week will be better.
I want to thank you and all of my slinger friends for your thoughts and prayers, would you pass that along for me. The Lord has been really good to Katie and I, with all of the support of our daughter and her husband, church family, and all of the slingers across this great country.
Blessings Paul & Katie

I love the whole concept of your business. Its the retired Navy / Coast Guard in me I guess.
Chappy I’ve had Hernia Surgery (Brick Masonry Business), Dislocated Elbow (Tripped), Underarm Nymph node, none of it any fun. I don’t want heart problems for sure.
You’re doing great and you are an inspiration to “keep on keeping on.” (My deceased sister-in-law’s favorite saying), along with, “I’m not prejudiced, I hate every body.” Ha ha.
Glad to hear from you. Please keep us posted, OK?
With all that you went through, have you ever heard the line from Tommy Boy,
“Boy that will leave a mark”
Very Happy to see you back , Chappy !
Hi Chappy and welcome ack to hot dog slinging. I don’t know the extent of your surgery but 6 weeks is a nice time to take inventory of your life and what is really important to you. I went in for some mild symptoms and had a heart cath procedure and the surgeon come upon an 85% blockage on my coronary artery and when he tried to unblock it, he ripped a hole in the artery. Next thing I knew I had me an emergency bypass going on. That was June of 2011. I was back to slinging that September. It was a rough summer, but with God’s help and my friends, family, and wonderful wife, I got back to where I was. Be good to yourself, mind the doctors and thank your God, I thank mine every day.
