Sorry for not getting back sooner. It has been a real long day. The doctor came in this morning and pushed and pushed on Willie's neck around the drain tubes and staples. I don't know how she didn't get hit for doing this. I could see the pain in Willie's eyes and how he almost came off the bed a couple of times. It might have had something to with the fact that she is a woman..Still she should count her blessings....That was the good news. The bad news is he still has the infection and it is getting worse, so they may need to go back into surgery to get it better. Then we had some people from pain management come in and they put him on a patch along with liquid some other iv meds for his pain. I think they are starting to finally work. He is looking pretty zoned as I am writing this letter. We had a room full today of some of our favorite riding partners who showed up from Sonora. They brought us gifts and smiles and a lot of warm wishes. Good to see some of those biker tramps walking down the hall. San Francisco ain't got nothing on us. Special thanks to Albert,Carol,Jim and Indian Richard. You guys put a little sparkle back in those blue eyes today. Tomorrow I will be headed home for a few hours to do some laundry and check on the house, since we don't have a clue on how long we will still be here.
To answer some of your questions
@rifleman, Yes he can take phone calls. I have both cell phones here and I can put them on the speaker phone and answer any questions for him. My cell number is 209-605-9189. His number is 209-681-6876. But I ask that you hold off at least for tomorrow because I won't be here most of the day.
@Desotoman, It is my mission to track down the mail tomorrow. We have had a few emails from friends asking if he had gotten the messages that were set to him,as well as some snail mail. Somewhere there is a peed off mail clerk that has a pile of letters for Willie and has no clue where they go.
