Default Hospital

Hello Everyone, this is Connie, Forrest's wife. We are just wanting to let everyone know that Forrest just got out of the hospital late yesterday.

He had to have emergency surgery. His appendix almost ruptured, this was a very very fast happening to him. He only had pain in his stomach on Saturday afternoon, I took him to the VA hospital that night, they gave him a pain shot and sent him home saying that it was a galbladder attack.

Then on Sunday morning when he woke up he was running a fever and he could not get his breath. I called the rescue squad to come get him, they took him back to the VA hospital and they were full and could not accept him, they referred him to the Johnson City Medical Center.

They found out what was wrong very quickly and had him ready for surgary in no time at all.

Forrest is doing alot better this morning, he is looking over my shoulder as I write this for him! ha He will not be carving for a few weeks now until he gets his strength back.

At least he had 2 of his biggest wolf orders ready when all this happened and I will take them to the post office shortly.
(Forrest actually turned into a MAD WOLF in the hospital) he is back to normal now cause he knows me and our little dog. LOL


We just wanted to let all of you know what was going on, cause you all know that Forrest loves posting on here and being with his carving family!!!!!
Take care we will keep in touch, Please keep Forrest in your thoughts and prayers!!! Forrest & Connie
