Title: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: W1IA on April 15, 2012, 09:26:16 AM Bill had a heart-attack and is in intensive care at the Albany VA hospital.
I spoke with him yesterday and is still under going some test. Brent - W1IA ph 518-626-6515 This is ICU, if he's awake they will transfer the call. Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: W1DAN on April 15, 2012, 09:32:53 AM 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. Dan Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: WA3VJB on April 15, 2012, 12:37:20 PM 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. Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: Opcom on April 15, 2012, 04:34:53 PM Said a prayer here. Heart attacks are scary but surviving through one is cause for good hope.

Wishing him all the speedy best of recoevry 73's ALL KB2RSK Jim from Fort Plain NY Thanks Brent for the update Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: W1IA on April 20, 2012, 10:49:56 AM Bill is home and doing OK. I haven't spoken to him as yet, just e-mail.
73 Brent W1IA Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: W2VW on April 20, 2012, 11:52:03 AM I sure hope he doesn't tell any nurses that they are wide.
Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: W1AEX on April 20, 2012, 12:15:31 PM 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. :O) Rob W1AEX Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: KA2DZT on April 20, 2012, 01:24:09 PM 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. Fred KA2DZT Title: Re: KC2IFR - VA Hospital Post by: w1vtp on April 20, 2012, 01:58:57 PM Bill is home and doing OK. I haven't spoken to him as yet, just e-mail. 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.73 Brent W1IA Glad Bill is on the mend - Had to tell him I tried Al |
