Ah, Rina, dear girl, you offer some interesting possibilities![;)] ANYONE in their right mind would take on triple by-pass surgery or any other kind cheerfully if they knew they could count on you sending Souvlakia!![:D][:D] I m sitting here right now trying to be creative about some health problem I might discover in the interest of the Gourmet Heaven to be found in Souvlakia![:)]

I hereby pledge a special fireside salute in your honor at the Nick-Neff-Cough rally this weekend.
" Coughers.... Ateeeeeen-shun! Raise glasses... To CampNfan-- a toast!"
popuptimesCampnfan you ll be in our prayers. Get well soon.
popuptimesRick, I ll make sure that we add you to our prayer list this Sunday. I hate (probably not as much as you ) that you are going through this, but we will be think ing about you and hope that you come through this in better shape.....
And I d really like to thank Dave for letting us all know.
popuptimesRick I will be waiting for a full report on how you harassed the nurses.[:D][;)]
popuptimesHere s hoping you are up to camping real soon. The fireside will be lonely without you. Good luck with the recuping. We ll all be thinking about you. Remember, since Larry and Holly can t be there to nurse you, be nice to the ones who are. [;)]
popuptimesDave, Thanks for the heads-up.
Rick, I ll be thinking about you. Best of luck!!! Hope all the nurses look like Hooters girls in white. You re a true camper....getting the procedure done in the off-season!
popuptimesRick, you re in my thoughts, get well soon!
Tammy
popuptimesRick,

popuptimesJust got off the phone with Diana (Rick s better half). Rick is out of surgery and everything went well. He may be in his own room tonight, if not then tomorrow. I tracked his DW down to the waiting room near the operating room and the doctor had just walked out when she picked up.
He left a message on my cell phone yesterday that I didn t get til this AM, he was worried about today and hoped everybody was sending a good word for him to the man upstairs. His PC has quit on him and he hasn t been able to get online but his wife told me they would be sure to have it working by the time he gets home[:)].
The address is:
Inova Fairfax Hospital
3300 Gallows Road
Falls Church, Virginia 22042
For those that don t know, his real name is Rick Dickerson.
I will post his room number as soon as I get it as well as his phone number for those that may want to call.
popuptimesChas
Thanks for the heads up on Rick. Glad to hear that everything went well.
We will all be anxioiusly awaiting his return to the chat. Then he can tell us all about it.
popuptimesIadding my prayers along with all the others for Rick s continuing good recovery, and a long and healthy life after that!!

popuptimesChas,
Thanks for the report! We are glad to hear the surgery went well!
Rick - Jimmy pointed out that the souvlaki should be chicken, so I figured as soon as you re ready for a camping trip I ll start marinating and skewering it. I ll make a good tsantsiki and maybe some hummus to go with it, oh and a good village salad. So take care of yourself and here s to a good, speedy recovery!
popuptimesRick,
We hope you re feeling better every minute!!
Tena and Dave
popuptimesWill leave you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
See you at the fireside soon!

luvourjaycoI m not sure who advised you to listen to the docs, but I have some inside information on that and my advice is -- listen to the nurses -- they ve got the scoop!! Best of luck to you.

Especially your critical care nurses!!!! [:D]
luvourjaycoRick, I hope you have a smooth and quick recovery. Did you check to see if they were cooking any butt chicken for your dinner? [:D] Mark
brainpauseHolly & Larry
I visited your web site - enjoyed the visit! I was once a critical care nurse but not anymore -- I m a little too old and stiff for that pace!!! I have an office job now, but still enjoy it.
Good to make your acquaintance. I am having a good time getting to know some of the people on this forum.
Do hope CampnFan is doing well and I m guessing he is -- it is amazing how well people get along after such a procedure.
Carole
luvourjaycoThis is CampNFans sister, I am talking to him from the hospital.
Rick says: I appreciate all the thoughts and replies, it brings tears to my eyes. Way to many to mention, so thanks to everyone. We certainly have a circle of LOVE! AMEN, God Bless Everyone and meet you in the woods with a healthy BUTT CHICKEN!
Hopefully be out of this hospital on Tuesday! Course I d hang out if Holly and Larry were here but there not. So my lazy-boy will have to do.
Love to all,
CampNFan
luvourjaycoCampNfan s sister thanks for posting an update on Rick.
luvourjaycoHUGS to you CampNFan!
They say fast healing is the result of a positive attitude so keep thinking " camping"
luvourjaycoHey Rick!! You are in my prayers good friend - and we are so glad to hear you are doing well - thank you so much for havng your sister post to us - we were anxious to know the good news and have been waiting to hear..
Hang in there - take it slow and we will be talking to you soon!!
I will revisit the chat room when you come back - I can t bear it without you -YOU TOTALLY RULE!! No offense to any of the other great guys - but Hey - Rick always throws us the roses and wine !!!
Take care - keep sending us updates - heal soon - camp on!!!
Love,
Popupnut and the crazy Connecticut crew!!
luvourjaycoI spoke to Rick today and he said he had just finished a big plate of Scrapple, roast beef, biscuits and gravy. He probably wishes he had just finished one!!
If any one plans on communicationg with him the # is 703-698-2480 and
the room number is 480 Bed #2
luvourjaycoGlad to hear CampNfan is doing okay after his surgery. We ll keep him in our prayers that his recovery is complete and he can get back to camping in no time. Heck, he might have to as part of his recovery. You need that peace and quiet that and what better place to get that than at a campground of your choice.[:)]
If anyone does pay him a visit, a good thing that cheers someone up is printing off this post for him to read. I ve done it for someone else on another board and he was just tickled to read what everyone said.
luvourjaycoHi Folks:
Dear Hubby and I went to visit Rick this afternoon. He sends his regards and I know is heartened to hear from so many of you. Although he looked like a person who just had a major surgery, he is doing well and in very good spirits. Lets all keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers for continuing good recovery and return to normal activities real soon.
P.S. No " Hooters" nurses were spotted there, however. [;)]

I guess we all could chip in and send him some " real" at home care nurses that would suffice. Wait, heart surgery, maybe that would not be such a good idea. I guess he will have to recover the old fashioned way.... with grumpy old " Nurse Hatchet" types.
Any way, keep up the getting well. Them there camping sites are a calling.....
luvourjaycoI have a Speedo. I could wear it and my support socks, and be Rick s nurse. Think that would get Rick going?
Larry
popuptimesRick,
One of these days we will have a national PUT Rally and we ll need you to be present. As Ab Diver says, we have you in our thoughts and we re way at the other coast.
Take good care and may you have a speedy recovery.
Always,

Sure would, Larry! At a fast pace ~ right out the front door!! You oughta know better than to do that to a guy whose heart is on the mend!! LOL
Great image![/font]
SurfcalRunning out the door like an athlete?
Sorry Kelly, but I must disagree with you in the strongest manner possible! The sight of Larry in a Speedo might have Rick clutching his newly fixed chest doing a Fred Sanford impression. Larry, as a nurse practitioner, aren t your forbidden from harming your patients? [;)]
SurfcalHey Guy!! By the time you read this you ll be home.
I knew you wouldn t break our date[;)]
WELCOME HOME!
Surfcal[font=" Lucida Sans Unicode (Central European)" ]Rick - Hope your stay in the hospital was as enjoyable [:D] as us missing you here at PUT[:(]. We will be looking forward to chatting and sharing a laugh with you some time soon[:D].[/font]
SurfcalYou re in our thoughts and prayers, and hope for a very fast recovery.
SurfcalRick,
We are wishing you a " SPEEDY" (NOT SPEEDO) recovery... brainpause in a speedo...I don t even know what he looks like but wow what the imagination can do! Anyway, take care, take it slow and know that we are thinking of you and wishing you well.
PI
Surfcalwith a name like " brainpause" , it s gotta be good!
Or not.
Larry
Surfcal
Well I sat hear and read all of these word for word...What A great thing we all have here! AS for the speedo.....You all might would rather see Larry or in my opnion " Holly" in that for now. But come late July Aug. there will be some life changes for me. So the Speedo Might fit then...Although I will not be wearing one. What better reason do I have now but than to get out in the woods and get some exercise. Butt Chicken is a must on my new/old menu too!Budwiser is not out just limited.......THANKS TO EVERYONE HERE! WE CAN START A PUT HEALTH CLUB ALONG WITH THAT ROADSIDE SERVICE
[/b]
SurfcalRick, I just read about this, WOW. I just talked to in January at the RV show. Sorry that I did not hear about this earlier. If there is anything I can do, just let me know or email me.
Penny and I hope that your are recovering well.
Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Great to see you here Rick. You know, there is alway s Butt Light Chicken! [:D][:D][:D][:D]
What??? Gourmet eating??? That would be Michelob Light Butt Chicken![:D][:D][:D][:D]

SurfcalWelcome back Rick! We need those lip thingies to post here like in the chat room so we can send you a welcome back smooch and a lovely glass of red wine! [;)]Really, it is great to hear from you! Get yourself ready for the camping season!
SurfcalGlad you re home and recuperating. Get your strength back and enjoy your family. Get well soon.
SurfcalI don t know how I missed this thread, but good to see that the surgery is over and you re on the road to feeling better!
