Hello.
Mr. President, Mr. Roger Johnson.
Hello.
There you are.
Hello.
Hello.
Roger?
Yeah, how are you, Mr. President?
I just called you the other night, and they said you were still in the hospital, but how are you doing?
Well, I was doing very well, you know, and I went home about three days early from the surgery, but then I had this damned...
Blood clot?
Blood clot in my lung, and that sent me back here last Wednesday, and I...
I think I'll be in another week.
That's the thing that really set the thing, but I'm getting along fine now again this day.
Well, I'll tell you, you just fight it out, boy.
I mean, just figure like you're playing Notre Dame.
Okay?
I'll be in there fine.
I sure appreciate your call.
Well, you take care and don't look too much at the pretty nurses.
Okay.
Fine.
Thank you so much.
