Steady Recovery

I received an e-mail update from Kevin Diller about his visit with Jeff on Tuesday.

I'll let Kevin give the update:

A few of us had the opportunity to visit with Jeff Tippner yesterday at the
Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

As of yesterday he was still in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) primarily due to low oxygen levels. One thing that Jeff did not expect after the surgery was to have difficulty with his breathing and congestion in his lungs. This was discouraging for him, though he felt that he was making progress on that front and was looking forward to being moved out of the HDU.

Jeff appeared to be doing quite well. He had his typical Tippner wit
about him, he was eating full meals, walking and talking. He even mentioned
feeling that he could already sense some of the benefits of the surgery.

Visiting hours are 2:30-8pm and visitors may visit with Jeff in pairs. He really
appreciated seeing a familiar face.
