Brent:

Very sorry to hear this. I hope and pray he comes through this OK and returns to full health.

Tell him I want to hear more NYC recording studio stories when he gets home!

Thanks for letting us know, and please post progress.

Bill is an ornery cuss but a good soul, and I can imagine him getting good and annoyed by this,
and then willing himself to get better in retaliation.

That would be good.

Best wishes Bill -- hope you're back on with us soon.

Said a prayer here. Heart attacks are scary but surviving through one is cause for good hope.

Brent, thanks for letting us know.

Sorry to hear this, but I'm sure Bill will pull through.  We have to think positive.

Just called from work.  He couldn't come to the phone because he was having a test done.  I left a message

I miss his infectious laugh and stories

I sure hope he doesn't tell any nurses that they are wide.

Well... Bill usually calls it as he sees it Dave so I would expect him to be fairly clear about what he sees walking through the room.

Thanks Brent,

Great news,  I guess Bill didn't locked up for grabbing any of the nurses or at least any that may have complained.

Me too.  I don't know what the he!! was with the nurses.  Each time Bill was either sleeping or doing a procedure.  Hafta respect the situation. Just seems that these ICU people could show a little more interest in the fact that people in ICU do have friends on the outside. They could have at least taken my name.

Glad Bill is on the mend - Had to tell him I tried
