It is with great pleasure that I share with you today a wonderful conversation I just had this morning with Chuck Campbell.
As every one knows, Chuck had a double lung transplant and has dealt with a couple of minor setbacks but today I am pleased to inform every one that Chuck may finally be out of the Hospital as early as tomorrow.
They're getting ready to do a final x-ray on Chuck this morning and if all goes well they'll take out the last tube, monitor him for the next 24 hours and he'll be out of there.
That being said, Chuck and Vicki will have to spend the next four weeks in Fairfax to visit rehab every other day and check in with the Hospital to make sure every one is comfortable with his heading back to the Eastern Shore.
The biggest thing Chuck talked about most this morning was that he wanted each and every one of you to know just how grateful he is for your thoughts and prayers as well as support over the last year and a half. He added that none of this would have been possible without all of you.
For me, it was a really cool conversation because every 5 seconds he didn't have to stop what he was saying to gasp for air from an oxygen tank. Its the old Chuck who is now back with us and ready to take on the world once again.
Its great to see he is doing so well,a very lucky man indeed. I also hope when he has recovered and has time he may consider doing some public speaking to local schools as to the dangers of smoking and the horrors that come with it. I am sure chuck plans to pay it forward and i think this would be an excellent way, now hes in the public eye and could be a great role model to kids about not smoking.To all of you smokers out there think of all chuck went thru and remember you will more than likely face the same fate just maybe not so lucky. Its time to stop.
ReplyDeleteFunny you dont see anyone bashing Joe on a story like this, but when it comes to politics and beliefs then he is a horrible person. Just goes to show how ignoratn some people are.
ReplyDeleteGreat News. Glad Chuck is on the mend. Keep us posted on his progress.
