Bob Jarman recovering from unexpected heart surgery.

Speaking from his hospital room, County Councilman Bob Jarman quipped “I’m putting my whole heart in the job of Council and I needed a tune-up”.

Jarman and his wife Sue got a surprise when he visited his physician for routine tests, and discovered he had a faulty heart valve. He is now recovering from surgery with a new mechanical valve.

Laughing and joking with family around, Jarman said, “This new valve will give me another fifty years; not that I want to be part of the Council that long!”

Jarman expects to be back attending County Council meeting within a week, and said “I’ve been reading the minutes, and keeping up to date with the issues.”
