Prayers for the LEGEND

Michael Beard · 10-30-2008, 10:26 AM

Chip Johnson is in the hospital. He couldn't even stay for the Bracket Finals at Rockingham he got so bad. Luckily, Laura made him go to the hospital. It was his gall bladder.

Chip just called and said that they got the surgery done. They had to cut it out vs a lipo-type deal, so they want to keep him for about a week, and it'll be a couple weeks recovery time, but he said to tell y'all that "It'll take a little more than a gall bladder to keep the Legend down." He's weak right now, but they'll take care of him. Good timing, as he figured he was about done racing for the year anyway. New and Improved Legend coming in '09!

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Laura is definitely a good wife. Glad to see things are going well and look forward to seeing Chip back in top form next season. Take care.

Chip,
You need to take care of your body as well as you take care of your race cars. Start a maintenance program now and we'll see you on the trail next year....get well soon.
