Bill Marvel is getting a valve job.
« on: October 07, 2009, 08:04:19 PM »
No he doesn't have any 4-strokes and I am not talking about his car.

Bill went in to the hospital with some concerning symptoms.  Docs checked him out and did a dye job and found that one of his heart valves needs replacing.  He will be in there for a week or so after the procedure.

I'll let you all know when he is through this.

Our thoughts are with you Bill!

Wavyhill...Thank you for giving us the upshot on Bill's refurbishment. We'll keep him in our thoughts and type with our fingers crossed. If Bill's hospital experience is anything like mine, he'll have to go on a diet when he gets out (hospital food is nummy good, and lots of it!), and will have to catch up on a lot of missed sleep. They wake you up about every hour Z@@ZZZ to check for some darned thing or other. I was about to yell at them for that, but I got released and got even. They sent for a dipstick with wheelchair to roll me out, and I waited and waited, and finally just walked out by myself. Probably not a great idea, but I had a ride coming.  I hope Bill gets better service!   H^^ Steve

Ohmigosh!  Bill & "Wavyhill" (Steve) were fellow Nats judges for 3 years that I was there.  Both are great guys!!

(Hey, Steve: tell Bill it wasn't those beers in Room 106 at the Signature that got him.)

Good luck Big Bill. My Dad went through this a couple of years ago. Valve job and a tune up. He's doing pretty well for an old guy.

Bill has made it through the surgery and his wife says he is doing great!

She anticipates him being home early next week.

See  you soon Bill!

That is really great news to hear.  Now follows doctor's orders, but, as most people know they never follow the doctor's orders.  Have fun and I mean that,  DOC Holliday
