Title: Dick Hosmer - Get Well!
Post by butlersrangers on Dec 21^st, 2019 at 3:33pm

I noticed a posting on the Milsurps Forum, that Dick Hosmer may have experienced a heart attack and will be undergoing By-Pass Surgery, today.

I know we all wish Richard Hosmer good health and a quality life.

Let's send some Prayers his way!

Updates from Dick's Wife, Kay, are getting posted on 'Jouster2 Forum'.

It sounds like he is out of ICU, coherent with good memory, ambulating in the hallways and elevated to "Curmudgeon" status.

He knows what "10" is on the 'Pain Scale'. Holy Bed-Pans!

Merry Christmas to all on the KCA Forum ... and especially the Hosmer's!

Praying the Lord minimize Dick Hosmer's pain and restore him to full health.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

They will discharge him probably tomorrow if his stitches are okay. Otherwise this weekend. We will have Richard at Valleyn West re Hab. in Williams.

Another up date from Jouster/Culvers

Default Update on Dick.....12/31

Richards update
It was a busy weekend. Richard had a few staples in his chest to aid healing. Better than going in and re stitching him up. Sternum is not separated
He then had his heart shocked Sunday. He had an irregular heart beat. They put him out and zapped him and it is pumping fine. Today we got him into a Williams facility. Valley West rehab. It’s an acute rehab where he will be for a few weeks until he can come home. I am getting the stair climber installed weds. That will be great for both of us.

From Milsurps forum
Still in rehab. for a few weeks more. Had heart shocked last week to regulate heart beat. Just takes time now. kay is getting a stair stepper to put both of them to work on when he gets home.

Best wishes for Dick Hosmer's speedy recovery.

(I think his wife, Kay, actually had a 'stairway-lift' installed in their home and not an exercise/workout device, as reported on another forum).

Just got home out of SNF - thank goodness I can use my desktop instead of that @#$%$( screen on my phone! Feeling good, and I've even been cleared to drive, way ahead of schedule. I was DAMN lucky. Looking forward to participating again - most sincere thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

Good to see you posting on the KCA Forum Dick. You are a bit early for Ground Hog Day!

You pulling for the "49ers" tomorrow night? Rest up!

Post by Dick Hosmer on Feb 2^nd, 2020 at 3:22am

That should be a really good game - two very strong teams. I'm guessing it will be a high-scoring one but close; probably one of those damned field goals with .02 on the clock. Of course I'm looking for the Niners to win!!!!

Aye, good to see you on the mends, laddie. Driving is one thing but did the doctors give the blessin's for shooting the trapdoors and Krags or wrestlin' matchs with the Missus? Or running moonshine? Or cattle rustling? Or elephant hunting? Or animal husbandtry by helping to calve glaciers.

Again, Glad to have you back.

Me thinks we should hold a party for Dick's safe return... with no undue excitement (those of you wanting to stir the proverbial pot... pipe down!)... let's be real! We'll serve some nice hors d'oeuvres and calming chamomile tea.

I'm just glad you're on the mend Dick, and doing so well too!
