Is he home? Is he walking?

Inquiring minds want to know.

He got home around 6 on Monday night.

************************************************** *********************
Hospital story:
He was in a wheelchair, at the pharmacy, to pick up a couple of
prescriptions. They asked for $4.31. Well, he had been picked up by
an ambulance, so he had no money. A familiar voice behind him asked
how much they needed, and he paid for the prescriptions. Crash said,
"Thanks, Vern!"

It was Vern Gagne (the wrestler)! They both had rides arriving at
about the same time, so Gagne pushed Crash's wheelchair to the front
door, and they had a little chat.

Crash used to attend almost all of the weekly tapings of Gagne's
wrestling show back in the day.

Crash was happy to meet one of his heroes, and Gagne enjoyed being
recognized and appreciated. Way cool!
************************************************** *********************

Crash is dong very well. He walks without his walker for the short
distances between his computer and his bed, commode, and the kitchen.
For further distances, he'll need the walker.

He has an appointment in about 3 weeks to see the surgeon for a
follow-up.

He is in terrific spirits, and is so glad to be back home!

He just laid down for a nap, so I snapped a picture. This is Crash

Really? What's he doing out of the nursing home in Bloomington? He's
got alzheimer's and was just responsible for causing a man's death in
the nursing home a month ago. The coroner (I'm assuming Hennepin County
although the article doesn't state it that way) today ruled the death a
homicide. :-( Sad all around.

OMG! Now I'm very confused. Crash said it was definitely him. He
was there for a treatment, but it wouldn't be right to share medical
info.

I have no idea!!!

Carol, befuddled

Thanks, Vilco. He's doing remarkably well. Basically, no different
than before the surgery.
