I'm downtown Ensenada on my annual begging tour for gifts for Golf4Ninos.com.

Will try and sneak in a Pacifico after I'm done with this appointment.

Bummer!!


I think it all started when we sort of made peace (at least temporary standoff) recently on U2U, and I told him I was coming down around the Fourth and would meet him at Sharkey's for a beer and to get acquainted.
I suspect he thought I had ulterior motives and intended to pummel him with the Pacifico bottle....

Nah, seriously, get well, my man, still coming down, and I would much prefer meeting you at Sharkeys than at the cardiac unit.

Prayers are with you.

I caved in and came here to Cardiomed to help Dennis transfer to the United States and go to the VA. Right now I am waiting for the ambulance people to come and arrange transportation to the VA. Dennis has suffered a major stroke that affected his left side, but he still can move his leg a little. I suspect he will get movement back but as usual he is fighting me about going to the VA. I think I will convince him, his mind is intact. His worker Viincente is going to take care of the dog. He says he appreciates the kind thoughts and he said he'll be back in fighting trim in no time at all. He said to treat this as a vacation because he'll be back with a vengeance. According to the Doctor, he says, his Pacifico days are over.

Someone can get a book for him to read if his vision is not disturbed, and short-term memory is OK. I did it for my Dad. A book about actress Patricia Neal, and her miraculous recovery from a stroke that really boiled down to a huge training and rehab marathon. A stroke is disabling in spirit which can be as devastating as the injury to the brain. That guy (Dennis) obviously has sand. That alone is worth a crate full of medications. I know when I get sick or hurt, I don't want sympathy nearly as much as I need a kick in the pants that tells me I can overcome, and return!

Good for you Janene. Could you let us know what he ends up doing? Cristina and I will be passing through tomorrow and we would like to know on which side of the border we can see him. I'll check back tomorrow AM and hopefully there is an update...

Thank you Janene. When I called he had trouble talking so I knew it was a stroke before he told me. I'm glad he's going north. He's a fighter and will be back soon.

Take care my friend.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I am only a few minutes away from Cardiomed Janene.

Hi Everyone, we have just finalized payment for the ambulance, because of the nature of the medical condition Dennis will have his own personal guaranteed guapa nurse accompanying him to the border. He is leaving at 7 am tomorrow morning via ambulance to Kaiser...more updates tomorrow...Doc Dougherty is visiting and says he has never seen Dennis looking better...he had his choice between Kaiser and the VA...
