Posts: 2217 Spring, Texas Gender:	How is OldFeller doing? 02/12/16 at 14:54:51 I was just wondering if anybody is in contact with OF or his wife. It would be nice for him to know that we all wish him a speedy recovery and we are thinking of him and keeping him in our prayers. I would like to know that he is doing well.

Reply #4 - 02/13/16 at 02:41:17 Oldfeller needed a new heart valve......(I guess that passing Harley's in the mountains somehow has a negative effect on heart valves - whodda' thunk it?) He told us about it in the trip threads....he is hoping to be well enough to come to the August event.

Hi guys

I just got off the phone with OldFeller a few minutes ago. He didn't even sound tired or anything unusual. I understand his wife has been at the hospital long as he has . He got a new heart valve , I believe it was Thursday.
OldFeller thinks he might have to leave early next week , I'm not sure he wants to leave the Nurse's . So we'll know who is in charge by when he leaves the hospital . If his wife is in charge he leaves early in the week ! Grin

Reply #10 - 02/14/16 at 00:30:47 Well I'm alive anyway. Main issue that I've got right now is I can't do anything and I'd include simple stuff like rolling over or peeing into that I can't do stuff. My Mount Everest right now is to get up and walk 30 feet. And when I get really really good I'll walk 300 feet.

My first day was spent learning how to stay warm. My second day was spent learning how to stay pain free and that means mainly keeping tubes of such from pulling.

3rd and 4th days were occupied with removing tubes and wires and all kinds of paraphernalia.

Now I've got to master the pee into the container trick as that is my next challenge to master. Plus eating and defecating which have their own challenges.

Open heart surgery is not for sissies.

My father had quadruple bypass surgery and I remember helping him do almost everything. I'm sure it isn't any fun at all right now! I hope you're at least warm and comfortable.
