The recoup period is said to take six months before the heart is considered "healed." Larry leads an otherwise very healthy life style (no red meat, no alcohol, no sweets, etc.), his cholesterol is low, but of course he works too hard and is a Type A personality. But his problems are thought to possibly be congenital and have manifested themselves with increasing frequency in recent years. He has had many brief hospitalizations.
I was briefed by the surgeon who told me "we accomplished everything we set out to do." Hopefully Larry will be up and around soon as he is in the midst of another overdub project and work is waiting for him. But in the meantime we're keeping a close watch on him.
Please do keep him in your prayers. He loves you fans and tries very hard to bring you new discoveries on Jim Reeves as well as the other artists he's worked on (Patsy Cline, etc.)
I'll try to keep you updated when I know more. -- JULIE
