Home Page : News: Sick Call Last Update: January 31, 2003 SICK CALL Joe Kerch has been in the VA hospital for some time. He went in for a spinal fusion and recovery has been slow. He was put in ICU early January for bleeding from the esophagus. He is now back in his room and can be reached at 203-932-5711 ext. 7555. The best time to catch him in his room is around 9:00 AM and later about 5:00 PM, Eastern time. Gene Morris has died. Please visit the In Memoriam page for more information. Yale Naliboff Update: Yale has been doing quite well this past week. Lung was clear so as we had the one nice day we have here in winter, we put him with oxygen on the scoot-mobile. It goes as fast as a bike does, and sent him on his way. He was not really enthusiastic till he came back. Now as he was supposed to go to the corner, he decided half way to go to town. Our downtown is close and small but by God he did it. He came back (by this time they could have locked me up) and informed me that that was a really good time and he stopped for a loempia at the Vietnamese. They have these stands here all over town. So this is what we are trying to accomplish. This man is just amazing. Love to all. DOL Roger K. Cook died on January 20, 2003. Please visit the In Memoriam page for more details. Jim Zimmerman, OM SGN, suffered a heart attack during Thanksgiving. Angioplasty was performed and two stents were inserted successfully. Jim is at home and doing okay. Submitted by Mike Seale Yale
Naliboff, We
have been home for two days (October 10, 2002). He has no pain and moves pretty
good. He is happy to be home and I am even happier. He has to practice walking
although eventually we will have the cadillac of electric scooters, to share. So
we walked around the house today (all goes fine inside and for upstairs we have
a chairlift). We walked for about 5
minutes and he starts turning blue again, his nose, feet and hands. This was the
original problem before he had the hole in the heart repaired. We do not see his
lung specialist till the fourth. As long as he is on his 12 meter line in the
house all goes OK the oxygen for outside works but still the slightest moves
will turn him blue. But as I said we are so happy he is home, and he does not
feel sick at all and sleeps well and eats all he can get. We have a fruit salad
in the fridge, enough to feed a home, as our neighbors were so kind to bring
kilos of fruit. It scares me to death to leave him alone. The man still
thinks he can do a marathon and will when I do not watch. But the turning blue
is dangerous of course. May be we will get used to this system at some point.
Must be hell when your life is on a 12 meter thread but he is happy as a clam.
All this writing is great therapy for me. Reported to the log by Dolly
