LATEST HEALTH REPORT

Several people have called to see how the genius is faring, so here is the update on his health:  he's hanging in there.  He was doing pretty well -- the pain in both his back and leg was abating -- and then he went back to work!!

Yesterday was his first day of inservice for teachers, so he had me drive him as close as possible to the building where most of his meetings were.  He sat through all the morning meetings and then slowly walked to another building where he remained until 4:30 when he called me to come and get him.  He didn't even go to lunch (which was free) but instead ate some trail mix he had carried with him in his briefcase.  If you know him at all and how he loves to eat, you would realize what a departure from his usual behavior this was. 

He had a rough night but seemed a little better by the time he went back this morning.  At least he has a sandwich in his briefcase today.  I doubt very seriously if he calls me to pick him up before all the meetings are over.

Tomorrow he has another meeting with the physical therapist and then potentially, he has five days off before his one class starts.  I say "potentially" because I'm betting he will still go into work on Monday and Tuesday.

But we will see -- I'll keep you posted on his condition.  And we both appreciate all your calls.
