Good Sunday Evening,Gang!
I talked to the Ol' Grounger a little bit today! He's claiming that he's going to get cut loose in two Fridays from now.... I thought maybe he was drifting a little,but he claims it's true! He wants the Hill Bad! Donna says she's ready to get him back where he belongs! Now that's one Helluva Woman! He's improved on getting himself loaded,with a little help,into his wheelchair to do needed things. Christ,he's probably running Hall Security for the Whole Joint! Let's see if he really makes a clean break for it. He tells me that he's still got all of his toes,and the feet are getting better. That's a far sight from over a month ago! He says "Thanks" for the calls,cards and letters. A Big Thank You to All of You that followed up sending him something after I got the info to You! Thanx,Gang,and more to follow!!

HB,
Thank you for the progress report.
Fred, we miss your 'rye flavored humor' here at the Coalpail! Get your strength built up, and get back to the house, and join us Saturday AM at 'Freddy's Coffee Shop'. Take care, brother.
Cheers

Reaching the nails to cut them will keep you limber. When I have trouble getting to them I know it's time to go back on my diet.

Best wishes and hoping you get back home soon, Fred.
