Title: About Neil
Post by: Hans on December 24, 2012, 05:50:20 PM

So, it sounds like Neil will not be home for Xmas or New Years.  The angiogram showed a couple blockages, so it was decided to keep him in Victoria until they could do a double bypass on him, likely next week.  Sounds like a hell of a way to get out of knee surgery.

I just had a quadruple bypass done in sept. The surgery is the easy part, it's the recovery over the next few months that is tough. Probably hurts less than the knee surgery though.

Neil has had his surgery scheduled for Wednesday the 2nd.  In the meantime he's looking to go over the wall for the weekend.  He's getting tired of hospital food.

Our thoughts are with Neil and Berthe. A couple of new radiator type hoses will mean better quality air time in and out of the  water for Neil.
All the best for Tuesday.

Neil had his bypass surgery today, a double turned into a quadruple as they were in there, but it went well.  Now comes the long recovery.  He should be back in PG in about 10days or 2 weeks.

Well, if that is as good as the news could be, then let it be that.   Here's hoping Neil is back on schedule, and that his recovery is both speedy and complete.  Seems a shame about the timing, but there's probably no good time to have a heart attack -  though maybe when you are already in a hospital on other business, the timing is, again, as good as it could be...

Talked to Neil tonight, he sounds pretty good.  Eating solid food already.  Slowly unhooking him from various systems and will be walking tomorrow.  He figures he'll be out of the hospital by Monday if all goes good.  On the mend.

And he's sprung from the hospital in Victoria and will be heading to Vancouver tomorrow for a couple days.  Home by the weekend.

Just saw Neil.  Hs is still in emergency, though that is due to no beds upstairs.  Says he is feeling some better.

Neil is in until Monday at least.  More grumpy than anything.  He is currently in the TV lounge.
