Linda McElroy, wife of BJ business department retiree Harold McElroy, sent this email about Harold, who had surgery June 15 to remove his cancerous right lung.Hi Everyone;
Harold is now at Waccamaw Hospital for rehab. This place is close to home.
He is improving each day. He is still weak and gets tired easily. He will also be getting speech therapy to improve his swallowing muscles. They need to be stronger in order to be able to have liquids and food. He has a feeding tube for now.
He will be here for at least two weeks. He has a positive attitude and is looking forward to getting home. He will require therapy at home also.
We have been away since June 15th.
It is good to be home, but it will not be right until he is home with me.
Thanks for all of the cards and prayers. Please still keep him in your prayers.
Love,
Linda
Waccamaw Hospital is in Murrells Inlet, which is 15 minutes from the McElroys' Pawleys Island, South Carolina home. He was moved from the Health South Rehabilitation Hospital of Charleston, South Carolina. Retired printer Dick Latshaw and wife Pat live a block from the McElroys.
