Der Biermeister is doing great!

[jeffp]

I spoke to Der Biermeister today (day after surgery) and he sounds great . His voice is normal and energy level seems fine. He had a tissue AVR and some bypasses done and is "feeling no pain, don't need any meds". He's been up and about just a little bit, but for the day after; wow, I'm impressed. He said they'd be letting him go probably Monday, but he's already chomping at the bit to get home and thinks he can convince them to let him go Saturday! (I don't think so .) He's looking forward to filling us all in on the details and may get on to post a bit from the hospital if they let him.

Hehe, yeah he does sort of remind me of a hyperactive one. It's probably a good thing in the long run, but hope he listens about taking it easy once he's home. Thanks for the update. Sounds great so far.

Thanks for the update, Jeff and send him our best wishes if you talk to him again.

Thanks for letting us know. Glad to hear he is doing so well but I hope you told him not to overdo it.

 

[PJmomrunner]

Glad to hear things have gone well so far and I hope he continues along this course.

 

[Karlynn]

Great news! Thanks for the update. I have no doubt they'll spring him soon.

 

[Nancy]

So happy to hear the excellent progress. I'm sure he'll do just fine, although he may be pushing the envelope all the way. But the envelope will let him know when enough is enough.

I'm glad to hear the good report.
Thanks for letting us know.

Congrats! Now take it easy and listen to what everybody here says to do.

Good news, indeed! Actually, Saturday isn't out of the question. A good percentage of us get out three days after. I hope he does heed about coming up to speed gradually.

Best wishes,

Ah Herr MeisterMan, congratulations! Glad you're doing well. But I am not surprised in the least. You were one of the most prepared persons I've ever seen going into surgery. Heck, you're probably conducting medical seminars at the hospital by now!
