I've had a umbilical hernia operation. I'm all cut open. ouch....
I've been in the hospital since June 20th. I'm still recovering.
Being evaluated for a liver and kidney transplant. I'm at Jefferson Hosptial in Philly. I'm doing pretty good, a little weak, but working on getting stronger. Physical therapy is working with me. I have 150 doctors in here everyday, so I'm getting really good care. Hope to be home soon.
I'm typing this from my hospital bed. Probably wont' hear from me for awhile, this computer sucks. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks guys!!!!

If you would like to send him a card or letter, here's his address

Phillip Vitalo
c/o Jefferson Hospital
111 S. 11th Street
Phila, PA 19107
ROOM 7112

Lets keep him in our prayers and thoughts<!-- / message -->

Your right George, he's into his truck and that's about it. LOL....
He doesn't read, he doesn't do puzzles etc...
He likes his tv and his computer and watching movies.
A card or note would be great right now, to cheer him up.
Thanks so much everyone!!!!

He had a heart Dr. come in and tell him apparently he's had a heart attack

somewhere along the way. I'm guessing a mild one. He never knew.

They found out from a stress test they did.

So, they are gong to do a heart catherization sometime soon also.

They also might have to do a liver biopsy.

He's walking around good, did a flight of steps yesterday with the therapist.

He's eating more which is good also He wants me to bring him a subway sandwich today.

I'd rather have a steak, but that's me.....lol...



Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!!!!



Jane

I figured that it would be easier to have one thread for all of the information to be posted in.

They did an EKG last night and one this morning and it happened somewhere
in between. They took him right down this morning and they are doing a
heart catherization and moving him to the heart monitoring floor.
All I know for now.....I'll keep you posted.

Hi,
Phil has 2 blocked arteries. One they cannot do anything with because
of scarring from the heart attacks. They are doing the balloon procedure today
to open up the other artery and put a stent in it.
So, hopefully after that, his heart will be okay.
He will be in intensive care till probably tomorrow or late tonight.

Thanks for thinking of him and for all the continued prayers!

Jane
