(THERE WAS A FULL BOARD AT TUESDAYS SUPERVISORS MEETING)...DISTRICT ONE SUPERVISOR, AND BOARD CHAIRMAN VICTOR CARRILLO CONDUCTED THE MEETING, DESPITE HEART SURGERY JUST LAST WEEK. CARRILLO SAID DURING THE MEETING THAT HIS RECOVERY WAS REMARKABLE. THE CHAIRMAN HAD UNDERGONE ANGIOPLASTY AND HAD 3 STINTS INSTALLED TO CLEAR BLOCKED ARTERIES. LAST WEEK MORE STINTS WERE INSTALLED AT SCRIPPS HOSPITAL IN SAN DIEGO. CARRILLO SAID THE PROCEDURES WERE VERY SUCCESFUL. HE SAID THE PROGNOSIS WAS VERY GOOD, SAYING HIS DOCTORS HAVE TOLD HIM HE WOULD BE FIT ENOUGH TO RUN A MARATHON PRETTY SOON. FOR NOW, WALKING IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE SORENESS IN HIS LEGS. ARTERIES FROM HIS LEGS WERE USED TO REPLACE THE CLOGGED ARETRIES SURROUNDING HIS HEART. ASKED WHY HE WAS NOT HOME RECUPERATING, THE SUPERVISOR SAID HIS WIFE HAD HAD ENOUGH, AND SHE THRU HIM OUT. CARRILLO SAID HE FELT GREAT, AND THANKED ALL THOSE WHO EXPRESSED A LOT OF AFFECTION DURING HIS DOWN TIME.
