JOhn's hospital phone number is 1-757-594-2453. He is in room 453A at Riverside Hospital in Newport News,VA.
John had a rough night last night and went into defibrillation twice. They were able to regulate it fairly quickly, but it was scary. He did get up and walk up the hall 4 times today. Hopefully, he will have a better night tonight.
Mary

Thanks Mary for the number, but is he really ready for this bunch of nuts to be rattling his cage? Let him know that I'll wait until he's home before buggin him. Get your rest and get well soon, John.  |

Hi Mary, thank you for the update on John. Sure hope he had a good night last night. Please tell him that "Lumpy Bumps" sends her love...and to watch out for those hospital gowns...they can be rather tricky!!! (GRIN)

John looked very good today and had a very restful night last night. He was up walking on his own. We saw his surgeon just before I left and the surgeon said he will probably come home tomorrow. He is really looking forward to that as he hates the hospital food! So he will be ready for you as he has been bored! |

Great news Mary! He may like stuff he never did, and not the stuff he did before... but you know that. John, hug the pillow mate! Walk as much as possible but keep the arms around the pillow for a while! Don |

I concur with Don's advice. My surgery was abdominal and hugging that pillow was part of the recovery process and it sure does work.
Thanks for the update and we're all looking forward to hearing that John is home and on the mend. |

Bored??? Mary, that's probably what that old cajure is telling you, but I bet he's eyeballing and flurting with those nurses and not getting anywheres.

... with John. In short, he sounds GREAT and is in matching spirits! He is at his sister's and will rest there for several days to ready for the 3-1/2 hour drive home. I won't steal anymore thunder here as I think John may be able to throw a few posts up on the board himself before too long. Keep a'healin' Steamboat! |
