I too find Janene's stepping in to help Dennis a very class act, in view of all the very public animus between them.
Dennis take good care of yourself.

Thinking about you DENNIS, and hope you're feeling better soon.
They're going to have you wear special stockings that are tighter than panty hose and feel like your legs have been vacuum sealed. Rub some talcum
powder or corn starch on your legs before applying the stockings- less sweaty and makes 'em a little more comfortable.
Let me know if you need help when it's time to take those stockings on and off and I'll come over with some rigging and a winch and we'll douse
ourselves in baby powder and go to work.
Take care.

Dennis,
You will eventually read this string and realize how well thought of you are here on The BajaNomad. I have always enjoyed your contributions.
We are again engaged in a contest. This time it is our health. May the outcome be a tie with us both living many many more years in good health! I
still hope to meet you someday.
Dr.E.- You have answered the Hippocratic Oath. As a professional, your ethic has joined your heart to do the right thing. During a time like this, all
the other stuff quickly emerges as trivial. Thank you!
We all look forward to your next post, Dennis. Get well fast!
Saludos,

Update on DENNIS
Dennis headed for Kaiser from at around 7:30 in the ambulance. He was peeing and moaning as usual and wanted his catheter taken out, saying "I have a
nail in my $#&@..".I touched base with the charge nurse at Kaiser and she said that he was welcome either at Kaiser or the VA...Dennis wanted to
go to Kaiser, and I personally like Kaiser better, the facility, but they will be getting authorization from the VA, so the VA will be directing his
care. He stlll cannot move his left hand at all and his left leg is weak. I need to try and make his door and entrance wheelchair accessible, the
guy that works for him was giving me a hard time, he wanted to focus on painting the guesthouse, I told him he had his priorities screwed up. I guess
he wants to continue his job for Dennis and continue to get paid, but that is not the main focus here.

Good news ! So, he is at Kaiser Hospital (Zion) in San Diego now (or soon, depending on the border)?

He's in the Emergency Room at Kaiser now.

Jeezo, Dennis... I'm real sorry to hear of the stroke and am extremely glad you've survived.
So's you know, my personal experience with Kaiser is that they have stellar stroke recovery care. I would not be here today had it not been for their
compassionate care followed by continual prodding to physical therapy.
I wish you the very best in your personal recovery, amigo.

Family
Dennis has brothers and sisters but he is estranged from them. I tried to encourage contact with them but he didn't want any part of it. He will be
fine, I will make sure he is set up in Mexico with good help when he comes back. Thank you Natalie Ann for the comment about Kaiser, I worked for
Kaiser a few years back and I feel it is a great system as well as much pleasanter surroundings and that Dennis would be better off going there
initially. He will have a long road ahead of him with rehab in the States before coming back down to Mexico, probably will go to a convalescent
facility for rehab for a few months. | Quote: | Originally posted by BajaBlanca

Dennis, whatever you do, don't let that razor sharp wit get dulled in your recovery phase. Your contributions here are priceless. Get well soon,
amigo!
