Just talked to Greg's wife. Greg had triple-bypass surgery. He is doing ok. He did not have a heart attack. He complained about heartburn and had a check up where they found the blockage.

Frank

I was bummed to hear it. I hear it was a quadruple bypass. Sure glad he is OK now

--------------------------------------------

You can't condemn the bad if you don't commend the good

Hope he is OK now.

I must have been in a cave.

When did this happen? Was it mentioned and I didn't see the post?

 

Get well soon Greg.

Thanks for the info Frank. Greg has many friends here that were unaware of this issue. It's nice to know that we can get the messages passed along to all here in the garage...

Greg...Glad ya made it through without further damage. Stay away from that junk food. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Bypass/sex change something or other.



Ann called me this afternoon and said he was better today then yesterday, which is understandable since he had the bypass at around 9:00 am.

Greg is in my thoughts and prayers.

I did not even know that he was having any problems.

That man has touched many of our lives and I feel that I am fortunate to have him in my life.

God bless him.

Glad to hear he is okay. Something told me to check out the Garage today. I'm glad I did.
You are in my prayers Mr. Cook.

Good luck Greg.

Hope you feel better soon

Holy crap! I sure hope you recover rapidly! I'm shocked!

Get well soon,Greg. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear that you are doing okay Greg. Do what ever the Docs say and you should be alright.

Get well soon bud.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow. I just prayed for Greg and I will continue to do so. Glad it was caught at the pre-attack stage. All the best, Greg.

We'll pry for you Greg. Speedy recovery!

No heart attack, eh?

Get well soon man!

Get well soon Greg, very surprised at the news.

Hearing this was so unexpected. So many times I have marveled at the amount of work Greg has turned out, with speed and gerat detail. Hearing of his hopitalization after all these years of internet converstations is both unexpected and as deep a concern as I would feel for the neighbors next door.

I am sure he is surrounded by family, friends at this time ... add to that assemblage the well wishes of all his internet friends. Though the distance is greater, the wish for rapid recovery are just as real.

Get well soon.

Hmm, they let me talk to the nursing station today, but no dice on getting to the room...sonsabitches.

Chilly, I tried too but couldnt get past the nurses station either. Maybe try telling them your his "life partner" next time
Im sure he probably cant talk too well today anyway. They just took the tube out of his throat yesterday according to Ann.

Wow that is a shock to hear! Glad he had the foresight to know something might be up and got in there before things went really bad.

Wonder if they have a magic trailer at the hospital?

Speedy recovery old man!

LOL, good one Deb, I never thought about the magic trailer. It might have worked!

Glad he's doing well!

I keep wanting to offer him a Steak for some weird reason... Baked Potatoe and Sour Cream and chives and cheese too....

Chuck, I don't think a mere intubation tube could stop him from talking, especially since he's there with nothing to do. Poor nurses.

Get well soon! Glad they found it before it caused a bigger problem. The bypass work is almost routine now, but still a big deal. Keep us up on the status.

Well, this was a stunner!!! I don't log in for a couple of days, and Greg goes and sneaks off to the hospital to have Cook restored. I am glad you caught it in time, Greg!! I hope your surgeons were able to put you in their own magic trailer!!! Get well soon!!! Post as soon as you can!!!

Wow that's pretty scarey stuff!..Hope your feeling as good as new soon Greg..

Hey greg you redo your cars in the winter why not redo the driver get well greg may god bless you and your family

Get well soon Greg.
We need you back here, Chuck is out of control.

Jerry O.

Meh, Chuck was out of control BEFORE his surgery. Greg if you're reading this, all the best to you buddy. Know my prayers and a whole bunch of other folks are with you and the family during this tough time. I know you can't wait to wear yer shirt unbuttoned so you can show off yer scar to all the girls...

Greg, These bypass deals are very routine for the surgeons yet they are LIFE changing events for us the patients! May God bless you during your recovery! Best Wishes from California!!!

I haven't been on in a while and was shocked to read this.
Godspeed Greg.

Hope you're feeling better Mista Cook. Even if I don't post I stop by and read everyone's thoughts.

Here's to a speedy and healthy recovery for what I deem as one of the coolest guys I've never met.
