RECOVERING

Story ID:3924
Written by:Kathe M. Campbell
Story type:OurEcho Community
Location:Gilboa NY USA
Year:2008
Person:Fred Wickert
Fred Wickert, our stalwart, popular, and one of the first members of the Our Echo Community of writers, is at home resting after a quadruple by-pass - with complications. After numerous signs over the past year, his doctor told him he was a walking time bomb, so he underwent the surgery three weeks ago.

I simply couldn't stand it a minute longer, so called Fred at his home in Gilboa, NY. He sounded a little weak and said he still wasn't even allowed to pick up one of his precious kitties to snuggle with and hoped to be able to write a note on his computer soon.

I also couldn't help but tease him a little about the wordy stories he'll be telling us of his ordeal.

Take it easy, Fred, and know your fans miss you and wish you a speedy recovery.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
