| Message | Aloha one and all! What a two weeks it has been, but Joe is truly better. To be sure, he still hurts terribly at times, but he took himself off pain killers and now has not had anything for two whole days. He can walk up and down the halls of the hospital on crutches. Some stitches, actually staples (shin, with knee to follow) will come out soon. The hip stitches will come out on Friday or Saturday. I went to a Best Buy and got him yet another set of "Gomer Pyle, USMC," and he and his new roommate in he hospital were watching when I left! Oh, how that young man looks up to and admires Jim!! The big conference is tomorrow (all the docs/therapists), and when I leave here on Thursday, I will do so with some tears, but many of them will be of eternal gratitude for the loving care Joe has received at the two hospitals. So soon, it is back to Honolulu. Love to all of you! See my Honolulu friends really soon! Susan |
