[EIDXA] Al Groff in Hospital at U of I

[Steven H Sawyers (na0ia)]

I was out racking leaves and came back to a message from Jane that Al 
had been flown to UI for emergency open heart surgery on Saturday. 
The told Jane that the surgery team was standing by!

I returned the call to her cell phone and she said he is doing well 
and would I like to talk to him! That was such good news compared to 
what I was afraid of.

Al sounded good. He will be in the hospital ICU for a couple of weeks 
with a recovery time of 6-8 weeks, which Jane corrected to 8- 10 
weeks;-). He still has not gotten a full report on what all they did.

He asked that I let everyone know he is doing well, but will be 
unavailable for a few weeks.
