Paul Workman’s surgery

[jimmac28]

A lot of us knew that Paul had some heart trouble; well today he went in to have his surgery.

Everything went fine and he is sleeping at this time. That’s all I know, But I will let you know as soon as Amy gives out the info.

And knowing Paul he will be on the forum soon.

Our hearts are with Paul's family.

I also had no idea. Seems like just yesterday Paul
was posting about Z's and mods. Best of luck to
you and your family for a speedy recovery. :cheers:

[jimmac28]

Paul is a private person, I talked to him on Saturday and he never said a word. His wife and my girlfriend are on Facebook that’s how I had learned. I’m still waiting for Amy’s update and as soon as I get it I’ll post.

That clean country air will do it every time.

Paul is up and breathing at 60% of his lung capacity. And that's good.

Frank,

Actually that's why Paul scheduled an FBI Pizza GT last Saturday. It was
kcl's pizza that has fortified Paul for his surgery. ;)

[GOLDCYLON]

CHI-Town Pizza as a presurgery bonding agent? Well let hope Paul has a FULL recovery. GC

Thinking of you and your family Paul,get well soon.

I'm with Jeff. Get back on the Forum soon, Paul...!!

Is that a Bob's pizza ?

[ScottZ95ZR1]

Glad to hear Paul's surgery went well and I too wish him a speedy recovery!

Bet he'll be into some kind of mischief before we know it - fresh valve job and all.

[WVZR-1]

PW,

A "speedy recovery" to you my friend!

-Dave

[RHanselman]

Paul, best wishes....

[FU]

Resparatory tubes are out. He's breathing on his own again. Way to go Paul !!

Paul's new nickname........THE BIONIC MAN ! Just don't be making him any steaks, till they tell him he has a bovine valve job.
He may have a uncanny eye for a passing cow !

[Don in VT]

Good luck Paul. I wish you and your family all the best. I am sure you will be getting your late Fall "Vette Therapy" before you know it.

Cheers,

Don in VT

Hi! Just a short note to let everyone know that Paul's surgery went VERY well. He went in with the intention of just getting an aortic valve replaced...but surgery went longer because they found they needed to do a bypass on one of his arteries ( which the Dr. thought might happen). But after an extended period, he did great and last night was able to get the respiratory tube taken out of his throat which really bothered him...today they will get him up and walking and the recovery will be rapid, so I'm told :-)
I want to thank EVERYONE for their prayers and positive thoughts!!! It meant soooo much to Paul that everyone was showing support and wishing him well.
I'll be bringing his phone to him but not sure how much he'll want to talk, I know his brothers wanted to hear from him. But you might give him time to recover a little more so he can get his bearings.

Take care and talk to everyone soon :-)

I know his sutures will hold better than his coolant hose clamps. ;)

Thank you for the updates, Jim.

I join our friends in wishing you well, Paul. I remember your leadership in galvanizing the gang when we were putting the nomination package together for Marc. Stay well - your family needs you and we need you!

Bob

[JThomas]

Sorry i was late to the party. Here's to wishing Paul a very speedy and healthy recovery! :cheers:

[Paul Workman]

Wow!

Just saw this thread on my phone, and am sooo humbled by all of your well wishes!

As you learned here, turned out to be "A bit" more than a valve. (Actually I suspect the surgeon is a "car guy": first "once he got in there, he found one more mod he wanted to do". Then aftrwards made the unsolicited comment that now my heart was like a "new Corvette!")

Well, thanks all. By Thanksgiving I'll be "back".

Searching for TB bypass, this came up.

Don't like hearing this stuff; what's going on now? (1 year of Med School before dropping out ...)

Sorry - didn't mean to upset anybody...

[cvette98pacecar]

Sorry - didn't mean to upset anybody...

you didnt. I was just letting you know where to get the TB bypass.

[Schrade]

Thank you Sir...

I got Marc's link in the referenced thread.

I like Paul; he's knowledgeable, and want him to know that we all still hope all's well with him there, even a year later.

If bringing up the thread is out of order, I think forum bosses can delete new posts..............
