Title: How Is Bud Doing And What Hospital Is He At???
Post by bikerteam on Dec 23rd, 2007, 6:55am

I'm about to leave for church, and will be visiting a relative who is in Baylor All Saints Ft. Worth hospital afterwards.

Will someone please leave me a voice mail where Bud is, as I'd like to go see him. Not sure I can go today, as it depends how long we'll at Baylor All Saints in Ft. Worth.

My cell number is 817-975-8638.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Ray Torrey

Bud's in the VA hospital, as I understand it...   He had lung surgery, will be there a few more days.   I'll let him post whatever details he cares to share.....

The way the last half of the year has gone for rbenters, maybe we should have a separate Rbent Hospital Ward forum, huh.......

I was admitted to the Dallas VA Hospital on Wednesday, and had surgery Thursday afternoon. They did a wedge resection on my upper left lung, and after the pathologist confirmed it was cancer, removed my entire upper left lung lobe, including lymph nodes. The lymph nodes will be biopsied, and if they are cancer free, then the surgery was a cure.

I was moved from ICU to a regular room last night. I will probably be here another couple of days.

Greg has also gone under the surgeon's knife. I'll let him post and tell you of his horrors.

Bud I'm glad to hear you're doing OK and they went ahead and got it all.  Will you have to have any Chemo or radiation? Get well soon!  

Greg, I heard something about foot surgery, what's up there, and what prompted it?  

Take Care,
Nelson.

Wow, I just saw on the Bacchetta forum about your condition, Bud.  I'll be praying for a speedy and full recovery for you!

Hey Bud:  My prayers are with you.  I'm sure this isn't your desired way to spend Christmas.  Look forward to your complete recovery and seeing you back out on the road soon.
Hope you can make the best of it and have a good Christmas anyway!
Robert

What happened to Greg? All of you (us?) stop it! no more getting sick or injured, it interferes too much with bike riding. And no more broken bikes either!

Greg has had foot surgery. I expect he's spending his time with feet elevated right now, and will be back to posting soon.

Yep, it was a great Christmas gift. It was a wonderful family gathering tonight, and served as a reminder not to take these things for granted. I was one happy camper.

Holy crap. I don't come around for a couple weeks and all hell breaks loose. I knew you had some kind of lung issue that was holding up your thyroid surgery, but I had no idea you were getting carved up like a Christmas turkey.

I hope the surgery took care of the cancer. LiveStrong.
