Jean Hobbs in Hospital
I just got a call from Jean's son, who said Jean is in hospital because of
heart problems. She's had an angiogram (she said it was horrible). 3 arteries are blocked; one is 100% blocked, one is 90% blocked, and one is 50% blocked. She has to have bypass surgery - either a double or triple (she may have a stent for the 50% blocked one) on Wednesday next week. She'll be in hospital for a while, and Wilson, her owner, will have to be boarded in the mean time. The mailing address for cards and things would be: Jean Hobbs Bed 2 Coronary Care Level 3 Dickinson Building Prince of Wales Hospital Barker Street Randwick NSW 2031 AUSTRALIA She's in good spirits and not particularly worried, as its a fairly routine operation these days. She's still laughing and giggling, cracking jokes and being concerned for everyone else except herself, which is so typical of Jean. I'll keep people posted as I get more news. Yowie |

(sigh) We are all getting older. Purrs for Jean and her family and for Wilson; I'll see if I can drum up a card to send to her. (I also have to remember next weekened is Father's Day in the U.S. and my dad will disinhereit me if I don't send him one.) Please relay if you can, my LLL (that's long lost love) had quintuple bypass surgery in January, 2004 and he's doing okay Jill |

Yowie Thanks for letting us know, Yowie. I'll definitely have to send her a card. I can just picture her cracking jokes in the hospital. Joy |

Many purrs are winging their way to the other side of the globe for Jean to be back on her feet soon. I've had an angiogram, though not for my heart but for my legs, and I agree.

Mega-prayers and mega-purrs are on the way at once, for her treatment to be
successful and her recuperation to be quick. Captain and Stanley even send some virtual cat fuzz for good luck ///// Donna, Captain,and Stanley |

Many purrs and purrayers that everything goes well. I would love to send her a card. Hey, let's see if we can make *her* nursing staff believe she's famous too, huh? Smokie Darling (Annie) - what is the cost of sending a card to Australia? I could look it up, I know, but I'm feeling particularly stupid these days. |

She'll be in hospital for a while, and Wilson, her owner, will have to be boarded in the mean time. I am very sorry to hear this. Lots of healing purrs heading down under, both for Jean and her family, and, of course, for Wilson. The mailing address for cards and things would be: Jean Hobbs Bed 2 Coronary Care Level 3 Dickinson Building Prince of Wales Hospital Barker Street Randwick NSW 2031 AUSTRALIA I shall certainly venture out tomorrow and send her a get-well message and card. She's in good spirits and not particularly worried, as its a fairly routine operation these days. She's still laughing and giggling, cracking jokes and being concerned for everyone else except herself, which is so typical of Jean. Yes, Jean is a lovely person. She sent me a private mail when I was so upset about my stupidity being the cause of the death by fox of my beloved old goose, Honk, and a get well card in the post too. I don't forget kindnesses shown to me. I'll keep people posted as I get more news. Yowie Yes, please, Yowie, and to echo what Smokie Darling (Annie) said, let's go all out to make the nursing staff think she's famous, like they did me. While I laid there feeling miserable and in pain, the daily mail round never failed to cheer me up as you rpca-ers never let me down. There were some every day, and also when I was at Auntie's and also when I got home. I've fastened them all on the slates above my inglenook fireplace here in my living room, and the flowers are only just now starting to fade. I'm sure knowing that you are thought about like this must have an impact on recovery. Tweed |
