  • Ted Harbit is HOME after Surgery

    <center>****VISIT REPORT IS ABOUT 30 POSTS DOWN****</center>
    OK, I dare anyone to say this belongs in Stove-Huggers because it's not Studebaker-related!

    Our famous Ted Harbit didn't want it known until after procedures had been completed, but he was diagnosed with prostate cancer a couple months ago. He spent some time at the famous Mayo Clinic last fall, following inconclusive medical opinions in central Indiana when routine tests revealed things amiss, although he had little discomfort.

    This morning (Friday, January 30) he had prostate cancer surgery at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis' northwest corner.

    Mary Ann called about noon to report his being on his way to recovery and having spoken to the surgeon, who reported everything having gone A-OK; that a full recovery was expected. Mary Ann had not yet seen Ted but was certain, from the report, that he was just fine.

    Ted will remain at St. Vincent until Sunday, February 1, at which time he is expected to be able to go home. Cari and I plan to go visit him at the hospital tomorrow (Saturday, January 31). When we return from that visit, I'll post an update.

    'No sense sending any greetings via St. Vincent Hospital; he would be home before they arrived. However, if anyone wants to send a card to his home, I'm sure it would be appreciated. BP

        A big relief to know it's done and over!
        Thanks for the posting, Bob.

        As much as we hate having it done, we guys need physical exams too. I had one last week and before the rubber glove went on the doctor, I asked him if I shouldn't be taking him out for a meal first. He laughed.

        Heal up quick, Ted!

          Tom Noller's greeting to Ted brings up a good point: Sooner or later, Ted will be home and will read this thread. Ted will then see any greetings and good wishes posted here. So post away to Ted post haste if you feel so moved! BP

            Having gone through a round of this last fall, I wish him the best.

            During an early evaluation I thought I would lighten the mood a little and cracked to my doc, "I'm sure you don't enjoy this any more than I do". Doc, with an even more wicked sense of humor than mine replied without missing a beat, "Who says I don't enjoy it?" I have to admit, by the time I recovered from his response, the exam was done.

                  Been there-done that. I wish Ted the fastest and best recovery. With reaction times like Ted's, he should already be healed!!

                    Maybe you should say the doctor is doing well after working on Ted! Good luck, Ted!

                      Glad to hear all is well thats the problem with getting older things go bad or hurt that we didn't even know we had 10 years before. When I had my first examine didn't even feel it told the doctor I must have worked for my employer to long was use to that feeling

                        He should be good as new in no time at all. I had it done in June of 2001 and was no big deal. Slowed me down a bit for time. I have been cancer free since. You will be ready to race when the snow melts Ted.
