I know dad wants to race next week but I do not believe he will be in the stocker for a few months. He might be able to race his corvette at the local track but that's it till he gets the ok from the doctor. Again thank you all for everything.

This is truly great news!!!! Been thinking about him since Pomona, hoping his procedure would have a good outcome... You will hear that Mr. Irving's heart is certainly in the right place if you ever meet him. I think it's paid off.

Here's hoping for a swift and full recovery. Most of the nurses here are fat and ugly so a speedy recovery is mandatory.

Get Well

I am so very grateful and yet at the same time humbled by the prayers of all my New and Old Friends.........I believe it is only because of everyone's prayerful intercessions that I am ALIVE!

I tossed out the pain meds and require neither a walker or wheelchair any longer. My doctors are amazed by the incredibly fast recovery from major surgery and also that my heart's performance is back to better
than normal for a man my age. Prior to my surgery........I was not expected to be
a good risk for surgery. Now the latest Cardioologist tell me my heart performs as well as most guys in their 30's!

I believe God has given me an opportunity for renewal and fresh commitment to my faith....as well
as an opportunity for fresh perspective and walk with HIM.

THANKS AGAIN,

John Irving

PS: Planning to be at Fontana racing end of week.
