This is from cf, not me.
On Saturday, cf was admitted to Kaiser Santa Clara (next to Apple HQ) for a rather large pulmonary embolism. He's there now and they have him on blood thinners and gabapentin. He's fragile and unable to move from his bed to a chair. When I stopped by this morning, he was in the process of moving to a chair which was a two person job with a special transport device. He managed to sit for an hour, part of his therapy, before he had to lie down again from fatigue.
I mentioned that D00M (well, Greg at least) sends their regards and well wishes. He said to say 'thanks'.
While I was there he was alert and joking with staff. His voice was clearer than it was the last time I saw him. lcf is exhausted. She doesn't know how she'll manage him when he is realized. At this point, there is no firm release date and the hope is that he'll be transferred to an intermediary care center where he can get regular physical therapy before returning home.
Several of our kwoon-mates have visited and I'll try to go again next week if he's still there. lcf said he perked up with visitors so they are very welcome. If any of you want to visit, let us know and we'll loop you into the details.
I'll be monitoring the situation and reporting any developments here.
