I was wondering why his facebook posts stopped. Damn Neil, best wishes for a speedy recovery! If there's a will there's a way, and you've got the will!
He's dehydrated, and is on an IV, so discharge isn't gonna be today. They raised the possibility of tomorrow, if he meets certain clinical conditions.

Hey ChefIsaac, it's a little difficult for me to pop by (the Atlantic is hard to cycle over!), can you please pass on my wishes for a speedy, full recovery to Neil for me?
Many thanks!
Telly

Hey Neil,
I hope everything is well, my friend. Why don't you PM me or email me (cyclist1961(at)yahoo.ca) so we can catch up. I am now living in Canada in a GREAT area for riding, should you ever get a case of wanderlust.
Be well my friend,
Brian J.

Paoli. The town was named for the Paoli Tavern, which was itself named for the Corsican General Pasquale Paoli. The town's historical significance is that the British routed Continental troops in the Battle of Paoli on September 20, 1777. The town later became a stop on the "Main Line" of the Pennsylvania Railroad and a haven for wealthy businessmen who wanted to live outside downtown Philadelphia but remain close enough to work in the city.

I'm home now, on two different blood thinners. I'm very tired, but very glad I dodged a bullet.

Speaking of food.... I had my first full meal since my illness Monday. Pasta with a meat sauce of chicken, sausage, and mushroom. And a LOT of it. Amazing how your appetite comes back when you aren't in a hospital bed.
First day at home on the new knees was a mixed bag. I can handle the Lovanox injections for a few days until they are discontinued. I have people who will help me with almost everything I need. I have six weeks of home care courtesy my health insurance. But aside from the toilet, almost all the seated surfaces in the home are too low or lack good places to raise myself with. I spent hours trapped in the recliner before I was helped out. My legs screamed from being in one place so long.

And thanks to the lurker who sent me the two chess books, GM John Nunn's 1001 Deadly Checkmates and GM Lev Alburt's A Fresh Look at Chess. The latter book is a collection of amateur games sent into GM Alburt's Chess Life column. I was pleased to see someone I played a dozen years ago had a game included in the book.

Ooops, forgot the flowers! The Stoutdog, his pup, and his bi-, err, wife sent them to me in the hospital. Thanks!
