Thank you for the update. I was thinking about him the past few days and was hoping we would get some news. Tell him we all miss him and are thinking of him.

Ditto here. Rest up and recoup. Looking forward to having you back amongst us.

Jody called. He sounds good and is happy with his progress. He anticipates taking visitors shortly. Little does he know, that means he will have to put up with mTk and me.

 

[Nathangun]

Excellent news. Send him our best wishes.

 

[mTk]

Well, that's a relief. Sounded like the recovery has been a bit of a struggle.

 

[Bootie]

Excellent... let us know when you are visiting and we can sort out an FGM gift with the donations received from a few folk.

 

[Ericr4b]

This is good and welcome news, thanks Nort. Also happy to donate for a get well gift if anyone is going to see the old fella. But can't find the donate button, where's it gone?

Don't worry. I found it. @Bootie . Boss, you should have some funds on the way.

 

[Nort]

Had a nice chat with Jody last night. He is steadily improving, and sounded great on the phone. As a result, he is moving from the Palo Alto VA to the Menlo Park VA, in order to start his rehab. mTk and I will be visiting after the Thanksgiving break.

Onward and upward.

@Nort Sounds good thanks for the update.......I often write to him, as he got access to his PC so i can drop him some Mail ?????

 

[Nort]

Jody has no PC access yet. He is limited to his phone. But I think he plans to check in on us.

Yo FGMers!
From deep within the VA system I have found access to a computer. I am pleased to announce that after 3 weeks in a medicallly induced Coma, and another 2 weeks of coming out of sedation, I am now in a Rehab environment. I am getting stronger every day. I am still learning how to walk, and relearn my lost muscle memory, but my recovery is moving along at a rapid enough pace that they will be booting me from this rehab setting to an outpatient rehab facility within the next week.

It's been a long strange trip, but as I have said in the past..."I'd rather be lucky than good!".

I thank all my Buddies for their moral support. How could I fail with a bunch of mates as I have here at FGM covering my '6'!

I will have to keep this a bit on the short side as my fingers are still not up to speed and I've had to respell a third of my words, not to mention this is quite the workout for one who hasn't used a keyboard for a couple of months. However, it is an excellent rehab exercise for my feeble hands and fingers, I look forward to responding to any questions you guys may have about this strange experience.
