I just spoke with "Ozzie", and he sounded terrific. His maze was Friday, September 14, and was released
today, the 17th. I think 3 days to release is the record for those of us on this board. "Ozzie" is going to
stay in Cleveland at the Intercontinental Hotel for another 8 days and then get a complete check up before
he flies back to Bahrain, where is lives in the American community, (he is an American) which is probably
largely populated with other employees of ARAMSCO, which used to be an American company.Ozzie's surgery had been scheduled for the 12th, I believe, but Dr. McCarthy was stranded in Washington,
DC, by the terrorism in New York, and the CC had to send a van to drive him back to Cleveland to do his
surgeries. I am not so sure I would have welcomed surgery by someone who had just been driven so far the
day before my procedure; but I guess it worked out great for Ozzie.As soon as he can get onto WebTV at the hotel, he plans to post something himself.
