update regarding “Bum” Phillips
Houston, Texas,
July 16, 2005 – Retired coach O.A. “Bum” Phillips
was released from Memorial Hermann Southwest
Hospital today following his July 8 triple-vessel bypass surgery.
Bum’s progress has been right on schedule. He will continue to
participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program that is a standard course
of treatment.
Bum headed home
to his ranch where he usually spends lots of time driving a bulldozer,
In fact, he was given a remote-control, toy-sized version as a get-well
gift while hospitalized. Accompanying the electronic plaything were
doctor’s orders not to play with any bulldozers besides that one
for the next 30 days.
