I asked him if he wanted any help accessing the internet, and he declined - said someone would bring him a mobile device to access the internet at
some point later on.

latest news
Not much news. He’s been up and trying to walk with help. They’re going to move him to a bed in Physical Therapy. I sure hope they poke and prod
him less there. He said that he’s exhausted because he’s only able to sleep for short periods of time. No info about when he’ll be home or what the
PT schedule will be. I’ll let you know when I know.

Hey Dennis!
You WILL get out and back home again.
I know....and I can sympathize with what you are going through.
Last year, I spent 2 1/2 months of really good summer weather laid up in a gruesome hospital bed.
The first month I was pretty much paralyzed, which was a real bummer, let me tell you. You can't move, sleep, turn over, stretch, scratch, or do
anything at all. (bed pans suck bigtime!) I did a lot of staring out the window, cursing those carefree robins.
You lay there like a turtle on its back and wait..and wait...and wait. You try TV to escape, but all the hype gets brutally boring on the few
channels available. (You begin to fantasize about torturing the more rabid political pundits.)
Once in a blue moon, 2 sadists come in to poke you awake and flip you over or change the sheets...which isn't fun either, cuz the surgical wound hurts
like blazes from the stretching. Imagine the scene where the tablecloth is ripped from under the dinner ware....but doesn't work. The nurse/sadists
glibly ignore your screams while giving you a shot to put you back to sleep.
The second month, I was able to move my limbs enough to start throwing things at the orderlies laughing at the door.
Then I got better and now things are almost back to normal.
Well, Dennis, I hope that cheered you up. Get back on your feet, we love and need you.

Oh,
I doubt we could call Dennis anything that he hasn't already been called a million times before, so fat chance he'll kill ya'.
Get well soon, you tough old bongo-beater!
Merry Christmas, too, from one percussionist to another!!

My son and I visited Dennis late this afternoon. Based upon the conversation and from what I saw, it appears that he's working hard through his PT,
and very focused on minimizing the amount of time it'll take for him to be ready to go home.
Obviously still dealing with pain, he was very positive overall.
Said again to tell everyone hello, and that he's very appreciative of all the people that have posted well-wishes for him.

Someone advised me that they called the VA yesterday and asked for Dennis and the operator stated "there was no one there by that name". If anyone
has any inquiries, I am sure they can go through his girlfriend who introduced herself on the board yesterday, a newbie Nomad named Rumple. I know
the last time he was in the hospital, he didn't want to be bothered and wanted to concentrate on getting well and doing his physical therapy. More
than likely, this is the same scenario.
