I just got a call from Jon, that works with Bob Johnson.
Bob has been rushed to emergency surgery this morning for a quad bypass. They did a stress test on him and took him straight to surgery. Details are fuzzy, but he had 90-99% blockage. Remember Bob and the family in your prayers, and I will update as soon as I know more.

You got it Bob, good luck. One of my employees had a 6 way bypass a couple years ago at 49. It turned out to make him better than before, but he also takes better care of himself now.Jody

I'll pass this along to the guys here at GMP. I know Tom, the owner here, knows Bob pretty well and may already know. Thanks.

I just got news that Bob made it through the surgery and is headed to recovery as I type. I should have the Doctor's report in a couple hours.
Looks like he will be down for a couple months though, should be good to go by Barrett Jackson.

That's great news. I'm glad they caught it when they did. Good luck to you Bob.

Where is Bob located? St. Joseph's or Piedmont? I can send him something ( Jack Daniels or a Honey Baked ham,etc.-I am sure he has not his sense of humor) from all of us here at Lateral-G. Call me and let me know.

Jim,
Does North-East Regional ring a bell?
It is the main hospital in Gainsville. I will try to get some better info.
Quick google found this.

Wow, Bob is going to feel a boatload better once he recovers. Damn good thing they caught it before something major happened!

Bob: I hope you have a speedy recovery, no lap dances for a little while. :lol:

I did hear from Angie (Alan's wife) Johnson and she confirmed everything looks good. The doctors said everything looks good and he should be fine. He will be out of commission for a while, but should make a total recovery. All I can say now is I feel sorry for the nurses. I am sure the word will get around very quick about Mr. Johnson.....lol
When something like this happens it just reminds us how precious life really is. I plan to run down to Gainesville the first of the week and check on Bob, I will keep everyone abreast of his condition. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear everything came out well for the most part. Long road to recovery but atleast he is still here to be able to recover! It does really put life in perspective, that's for sure. Get well soon Bob.

Bill, thanks for the updates!! Bob, get well soon, remember next year there are lots of events to hit!!

Doctors really can do amazing things these days. My dad had a major heart attach at age 37, a quad bypass at 47, and is doing just fine today at 62! I know if it wasn't for modern medicine, well let's just say he wouldn't still be here watching me build my camaro.....love ya dad!!

I am on the way down to check on ole Bobby now. I will update when I know more. He is going to a regular room today so I can see him. He told family yesterday he felt like a Mack truck had hit him, I can understand that. I will let him know how many people had him in their thoughts and prayers. Thanks guys. :thumbsup:
