Re: Any updates on Phillip Watson?

After reading Philip's post about getting a transfusion, I just want to remind the folks who can donate blood, platelets, etc. to sign up every 58 days.

 

Every blood donation can three lives.  It doesn't take much time and you get free refreshments afterwards so you don't faint !

 

I was always a scaredy cat of needles, but I got to being grateful and wanted to give more than cash:  Blood.

I am now over 4 gallons and wish I had started much earlier than I did.

 

Please consider donation....there just isn't " synthetic " blood.  The real thing counts here.scaredy

This is the first I have read about his health issues. Amazing the advances in medical science. I did not even know they could put in an artificial aortic valve now. I will keep Philip in my thoughts as he continues to recover. Thanks for posting this information here. Would appreciate reading any updates he may post.


My father had his aortic valve replaced 45 years ago so it is not a new procedure.

I am so glad to hear Philip is recuperating and doing well.  Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.  Like others have stated I'm surprised about his health crisis,  for years IIve enjoyed watching and taping his shows.  I have many of his plants and flowers.

Still so very weak and sleeping most of the time. Anemia has made me unsure of my footing, but I am hoping to turn the corner, soon. I love all of you for the beautiful greetings and special prayers. I have never been in such a state before, and it is frightening. It looks like I have a few months of this ahead of me. God bless you all. My garden continues to lift my spirits, and I am heading out to a chair right now to say my prayers.

I am so grateful to be alive. I was so close to the other. After fifteen days in the hospital, I am finally home and am enjoying seeing my garden and hearing the birds and seeing the sun. Your prayers, well wishes, cards, and concerned comments really help me at this time. I am far from being my old self, but I am no longer filled with despondency. God bless you all, and I hope to have the strength to be of help to you as soon as God allows me. LOVE IS ALL...Phillip

Re: Any updates on Phillip Watson?

Dear Philip,

I just learned about your very scary and sad health problems a few minutes ago when Carolyn Gracie mentioned it on her cooking show. I couldn't be more sorry about what you've been going through. I watch as many of your shows as I am able to, largely because of YOU!!! You are sweet, kind, hilarious and just a special person. I just love hearing you speak about your grandmother. I was very close to my grandparents as well so I can totally relate to your feelings. I agree with everyone else who commented that you are the picture of health which made this more of a shock. I'm glad you are in the constant care of two special people. I, too, live alone and sometimes we do need the help of others. I have no doubt that your friend Hazel is checking in on you as well! Not surprisingly, your garden is magnificent. For some reason when I have blogged on QVC in the past I neglect to send a heart, but please know that I am sending you many many hearts and will be including you in my prayers. I will continue to look for updates from you when you are up to sending them. Wishing  a speedy and complete recovery to someone I am genuinely fond of!!!!
