And just got the following from John.

Hi, Tom -


Oops! Fumble-fingered this new phone.


I'll be taking it easy when I get home next month and gradually blending my way back into the on-line community; Linda is designing and managing a number of construction projects at home that will simplify my life with a walker, oxygen (concentrator and nasal cannula, not bottles), ramp from the garage floor/office level up the three steps to the kitchen (house main level), shower safety bars, etc. Will be nice to have all of that stuff done before I walk in the door.


Take care, don't run out of safety wire, and keep me posted on the A-26.


Regards,


John 😊

I heard yesterday that John may be leaving Hospice in a few days. I was reluctant to post it until verified. DZ thanks for posting and great to hear that he is responding to your email.
