In Great Spirits

Well things here are really looking up today as far as Speaker Gerald Polley's health is concerned!  I spent the afternoon and early evening with him at the hospital yesterday.  I had lunch and supper there, we just talked, had some meetings about what his care will be like when he gets home, talked with some people about possibly getting help with paying the bills, and even transportation to doctor's appointments while Jesse is on vacation. We even watched some t.v.!   He was able to sit up most of the time I was visiting, and walked around quite a bit.  They had removed the rest of the tubes from his chest and neck and he feels so much better.  They have to switch the brand of insulin he's using because the stuff added to the brand he's on now was making his eyes burn.  He's still on the pain pills once and a while, and hasn't been getting much sleep because of all the blood tests, and blood pressure checks during the night. Everyone in The Afterlife is very pleased at Gerald's progress.  He's also in good spirits, so to speak, and is even joking around again too, which I'm sure is to the delight of John Lennon and George Harrison.  They say Gerald should be coming home Saturday.   It still has to be learned how much insulin he needs to take after going home, and there needs to be more progress on lowering his blood pressure.  And we don't know if he'll have to take a cab home or not. Gerald is pleased himself with how well he is doing so quickly.  He told me he wasn't scared, he had faith in the power and The Lords.   This is probably the last email I will be doing for a long while.  Thanks again for all the positive thoughts!
