Title: Bill Marvel is getting a valve job.
Post by: the original Steve Smith 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!

Post by: Steve Helmick on October 07, 2009, 08:22:42 PM: 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

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