Update on Willie Jones


Willie Jones - Pruitt Health Moncks Corner - visitors welcome:
--Phoncon with Jerry Stout (Thursday):
Jerry has informed me that Willie will be transferred this afternoon to a rehab facility near Moncks Corner. He should arrive after 1500. This is about 20 minutes from his home so Estelle will be able to go see him there without to much travel. Willie does have some rehab to do so it you plan on going to see him be sure to call first to see if he can have visitors. Usually no problem after supper. Please keep Willie and Estelle in your thoughts and prayers.

Vietnam Crease-Fire

http://www.guns.com/2013/05/27/retired-veteran-recalls-life-on-a-submarine-during-the-vietnam-war/
Vietnam crease-fire January 27, 1973. My husband and brother served at that time. Bless our military men and woman who go and many times, gave their life to go where our goverment sent them. I can't see anyone in their right-mind would ever blame our military. They come home forever changed and suffer the rest of their lives while we enjoy the freedom they fought for.

: Binnacle List Captain Charles Cotter

Ralph- an advance notice re my hip replacement scheduled at CONE Hosp. in Greensboro NC Feb 9 (what a birthday present for Dr MOM after the short hospital stay). I'm really looking forward in spite of possible scar tissue problem. The navy drs on Feb 6 1968 said "someday you will have trouble with that knee and hip" and regretfully they were correct in the future diagnosis. Charlie

Willie Jones - VA - ward 3 B North Bed 12 - visitors welcome:
Jerry Stout called me this morning to say he received a call from Estelle (wife) reporting that Willie had falllen and was on the floor. After making a call to Estelle I talked to Willie and helped to convince him to get in the ambulance to go to the VA Hospital. The information I have received from Jerry and another person is that Willie has an infection that must be treated and he also has a serious stiffening in his shoulder/neck area. Willie will be in the hospital at least through the weekend and would really enjoy having visitors.
