Rob's Status

I don't understand one thing: did you force the poor nurse/hairdresser into that unnatural pose or were you a champion of timing (or luck) in capturing the scene? Either way, great.

I'm not commenting on your charming smile because I know you will try to extort money from me.

They most certainly are.

I said “I’ll take a photo” and raised my phone. She sprang into life, went behind me and adopted that pose. All the other nurses were whooping with laughter, so I took a quickie. It caught the moment.

It would have been good with some forethought to properly document this illness, but all I have is my iPhone 6SE, not the best phone camera.

Hi folks. I’m getting stronger and more relaxed every week. Still in danger, though, so I have to take care.

Current situation: they are trying to wean me off a ventilator. An attempt last week failed. I’ve had my lungs pumped and some CPR, which saved my life, but I still on it. Trying again tomorrow. Fingers crossed. The problem is all mine. I just lack lung strength after 65 years of asthma.

Here’s my room from a night or two ago, which I found attractive:

Attractive, and even more attractive that you are getting better every day, that is my heartfelt wish.

Second times a charm!

All fingers 'n' toes crossed for tomorrow, Rob

Well it went very well!! I’m now off the ventilator, supporting my own breath. Yay! Oh, how we take this basic thing for granted. Count your blessings, friends.

We haven't heard anything from you lately - have you learned to eat and swallow yet?

 

[Gord Tomlin]

Too busy eating and swallowing to speak, hopefully!
