Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Joe feeling (physically)?
A: "Like they tore out my heart and stomped that sucker flat" (quoting the immortal Lewis Grizzard). He also says, "I feel like I did that time I got run over by a buggy--my whole body hurts." He's got a lot of bruises and he's feeling pain in places he never knew he'd had tubes or needles. He's also very fatigued and needs to rest several times during the day.
Q: How is Joe feeling (emotionally)?
A: Great. He's very happy to be home from the hospital, and he knows that the worst of the pain he's feeling now will be over in a few weeks, although it will take several months for him to be fully recovered. He and Mother are both very grateful for all your calls, emails, prayers, and good wishes.
Q: How is Joe feeling (spiritually)?
A: Very blessed. He says the doctors have no explanation for why someone with his blockages and family history hasn't had a heart attack or stroke; it truly is a miracle. Before his surgery, Daddy was watching Creflo Dollar on TV, and it made a big impression on him. Rev. Dollar said: "All these people go around saying 'I'm a child of God,' but when something bad happens, they get all stressed and worried. If you're a child of God, you don't worry about nothing. "
Q: Was Joe well treated at Piedmont Hospital?
A: You bet. He can't say enough good things about the professional, knowledgeable, and supportive staff who cared for him, especially his surgeon. "Dr. Prevosti did a great job, and if you need a good heart surgeon, he's your man." He even applauded the food service.
Q: Is he well enough for visitors?
A: Only one or two a day, and only short visits, please. Although he does enjoy seeing people, he's in pain and he tires easily. If you're coming from Atlanta, it would be best to wait for a week or two until he's feeling well enough to enjoy longer visits. He really WANTS to talk to all of you, but he's just not up to it yet.
Mother and Daddy strongly believe that your prayers have a lot to do with the happy outcome of his surgery. They hope you will continue praying for their healing and recovery, and they ask you to pray for the following individuals as well:
