Dear Mr. Fountain:

I appreciated your card which I
received while I was hospitalized.
Your thoughtfulness and good wishes
meant a great deal to me.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

May I congratulate you on coming through the
operation well. I want to give you a word of
advice, which, had it been given me at the same
moment after my similar by-pass, would have
served me well.

ANY OF

DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO GAIN BACK ALL THE WEIGHT YOU LOST AT THE HOSPITAL.

I came out exactly 16 pounds less than I went
in, and was told by my doctor at Emory U.
Hospital that even though I thought I was thin;
LOSE SOME MORE. (I looked like the wrath
of God, and my family wouldn't hear of my
further dieting, so I listened to them instead
of the doctor......and here I am up 6 of those
pounds: )

I wish I had listened, I really need to be
off at least that much. I know you do too....
even more than I did. So don't let your
great appetite return....hold onto your weight
loss......and next year you might even thank
me for suggesting it.

Dr. Henry Kissinger
Massachusetts General Hospital
Boston, Mass.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I hope you are feeling better by now. I had a double by-pass in September 1981. I have been following your case in the paper with great interest and would like to share my experience with you in the hope that it will relieve some of the anxiety you might have.

My operation took 4½ hours as yours did, and everything went well. I was in the hospital for 12 days. Fortunately, there were no complications. After recuperating for one month, doing practically nothing, I returned to my office on a limited basis. My office is close to my home. I worked 3 or 4 hours a day, but tired easily. The doctor recommended light exercises and walking. I am now walking 2 miles daily. Before the operation, I had chest pains with very little exertion.

Today, I feel fine. I am able to work but do not overdo it, everyone tells me I look great, my medical check-ups are very good, I must watch my weight (no easy task) and I have resumed living my life after a frightening interruption.

I share these thoughts with you so you can look forward to a speedy recovery and to tell you that you will be resuming your activities soon, possibly with more vigor than ever.

I wish you a long and healthy life.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I recently heard that you were to be hospitalized for a triple
bipass surgery. I heard this morning that everything went well. I
just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you are on the road
to recovery. Our country needs a man with your capabilities and
expertise at this time. I hope that you are feeling better and
will soon be back to full strength. Good luck for a speedy recovery!
