Greg Falls (Niagara) has just had a Major heart attack stateside and is currently under sedation....
He's in My prayers....
Dave | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | I hope he makes a full recovery... It sure sucks that he is stateside through all this... probably not a worse place he could be at a time like this... sure hope he is heavily insured...  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 139 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 139 | so sorry to hear about Greg, hope he pulls through it all. I've been sending good thoughts his way.
GET BETTER GREG AS WE HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE COASTERS TRUCK SHOW UP YOUR WAY YET!

Vancouver would be better for him as its closer to his home. I tried to call his wife tonight but got an answering machine.
There is more on this in the Greasy Spoon. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,952 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,952 | Okay I just found out he is in Saint Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. If I get more I'll post in the Greasy Spoon. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | Is he in ICU or where is he? If anyone can find out I can see what Celine can find out... she works there the next two days although she won't be allowed to tell us anything "classified" due to privacy concerns... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,952 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,952 | All the info I get will go to the Greasy Spoon.

There is an update now. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | Just copy and paste your post and there's no extra writing... in fact it would have been easier than your post above... just sayin'...  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | My girlfriend who works at Saint Pauls just called to say she went down to see Greg and find out what she could...
He is in a unit behind glass but he was able to see and hear her...
His nurse says "he is better" and that they are planning on moving him to another unit in the next couple of days if he continues to improve...
My GF looked at him and said "The BC Bolters are pulling for you and everyone said to get well soon" and Falls apparently gave her a thumbs up so hopefully he's on his way to recovery... thought I'd update everyone...

Celine is at work there but has been too busy to try to locate him... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 | I got some news this morning. Greg is scheduled to be released from the hospital on Monday. He and Donna plan on staying at a hotel near the hospital for a week, just in case, then it's on to home after that.
Here's hoping there's no "in case" and he has a speedy recovery. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 | Hey that sounds encouraging.

Just wanted to let you know that Celine checked on Greg falls tonight at St Pauls when she was at work and they told her he had been discharged mid-week and was supposed to be on his way home to complete his recovery there... Hopefully he'll be able to do just that and will check in here to let everyone know he's ok when he gets a chance...

here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery, see ya at the car shows.
We'll keep an eye peeled for that big black (gorgeous) boat of yours.
cheers,
