Gary Rittenberry / Throat Surgery ( >>>UPDATED 04/06/17<<< )

Post by Fred Justice »

My good friend Gary Rittenberry has ask me to more or less be his voice for the next couple of months.
Here is what I have today,
Gary will be checking into Cookeville Regional Hospital this coming Monday morning at 8:00 AM for major throat surgery.
Gary will be off line so to speak for at least 60 days, as for phone call or any conversation.
His website will also have updated information regarding his progress.
Stay tuned here, as I will post any and all information I receive about Gary's progress.
Lets all say a pray for ole Gary, he's a dandy for sure. :D

Absolutely, Gary is one who "wears a white hat!" I know many, many of us here in Forumland will be sending positive, healing thoughts and praying for a successful outcome to GR's upcoming procedure.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Great news folks, Gary's Son just called me to let me know that the surgery went real well, Praise The Lord !!!
Gary will be in ICU for a couple of days then be transferred to a regular room.
He will start his therapy in a couple of weeks.

The Lord has answered our prayers again folks. :D
