All Wired

June 20 -22 - Mercy Hospital, Ardmore, OK
Here's Carl after the first hospital stay, all wired for sound. We were on our way to the Gulf Coast off of Texas when he started experiencing chest pains. He as admitted to a small hospital where they determine he might have problems with his heart. After three day we left this hospital in Ardmore, OK and came back to Oklahoma City which has a special Heart hospital. After many tests, it was determined that he indeed did have 4 arteries that were blocked. The doctors inserted a catheter through a vein in his groin and narrowed the blockages with balloons. Next they implanted metal stints to keep the arteries open. He was able to leave the hospital after only an over night stay. He is doing great. He needs to take it easy for a few days and then we can get back on the road. Boy are we glad we were close to a big city that had the expertise needed.

HI Carl and Bobbie... Glad things are going good for Carl... Lona and Carl Warner are itching to go to Carl's reunion and hook up with you guys... we are still doing the wine tasting thing. At yesterday's tasting we compared two different wines (two glasses) to see if we could tell the difference.. it was fun and we thought about both of you... Hope to see you on your return.. take care, stay healthy.

Aloha R & R, Kona
