How about another card shower?

Forgot to thank Dad and Linda's boating friends Gary and Debbie. Dad and Linda were scheduled to see them on their way home through Michigan to Ohio on July 29, but it wasn't meant to be. Instead, Gary generously flew to Madison on Tuesday morning to visit with Dad then helped Linda drive Dad's car to Detroit where she spent the night with them, heading home Wednesday morning. What nice friends.

Dad's in his rehabilitation room already! It's big, with his own private bath. Patients can leave their room with assistance and head to the cafeteria or community room to mingle with others. But mostly they are there to work -- 3 to 4 hours of intensive speech, occupational and physical therapy. I know I already mentioned this, but it's a pretty incredible program, right inside the hospital where he can still be monitored by his doctors as well as his therapy team. I'll give you more details as we see how it takes shape.

Token Bill, he has a good attitude going in to this program. But it's going to be tough. So I'm wondering if any of you wonderful friends and family out there would be willing to send him cards again. Yesterday when I was with him he asked if he got any mail. He misses his people back home in Ohio and surrounding areas. And now on top of that he's got a long hospital stay and rigorous rebounding ahead of him. I thought it would lift his spirits if I could bring cards in to his room and hang them up every day. (He has saved and re-reads all the cards from his b-day!) So if you have time to pick up a card and send, again, my address: 1202 Tramore Trail, Madison 53717.

Thanks much to all.
