Just got off the phone with Jimmy (Drumbo) in the VA hospital in Lexington.

"I'm pretty looped out on a million drugs."

To his great relief he woke up and still has his bladder. Surgery was more serious than anticipated. He found out after surgery that they put his lungs to sleep and were pumping oxygen thru him. And they are giving him Benadryl for the itching as he seems to have allergies, or something, to the heavy duty meds he is on. He's probably in the hospital until Monday. His breathing is good (they gave him something on Monday to practice on) and he just sat up for the first time, and he's trying to impress his caretakers so he can have solid food.

Steak and eggs would be good, but I'd settle for a bowl of oatmeal."

He said he would like to go home tomorrow, but I could hear talking in the background. He said it was his tech saying, "Not likely".

He will have to go back in 10 days so they can check for leakage, and chemo is probably in the offing.

He thanks everyone for their prayers, and please keep them going.

You remain in our thoughts and prayers, Jimmy! when you're ready to get out of bed, start slowly and then taper off!

All the best!

Thank you for the update, Kathy and yes... still praying. Jimmy has been on my mind. I had to laugh at the “steak and eggs would be good, but I’d settle for a bowl of oatmeal”. Prayers for his recovery ongoing and prayers of thanks for you... for being such a good friend and keeping us in the loop. Hugs, Mom

We are here Drumbo and we want you healthy and free.

I’m up to 1500 miles a week Kathy. My time is very limited.

You are such a sweet Lady to keep on taking care of everybody.

Remember my request for Hot Rod Lincoln? I think it was last year.
