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.

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)?

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.
