11/4 Wed update

[Joe Haldeman]

Joe was in the best shape he's been since September 19, the day this whole thing started.  He walked across the room without help, got himself in and out of bed several times, sat up for a long time, ate well, talked about the future for the first time.  Several doctors consulted and decided not to do anything invasive yet.  He's on a new antibiotic that seems to be making him feel much better.  They'll keep him on it in the hospital at least through the weekend.  They'll do another CT scan in a few days.  I went to dinner with the CFG and had a lively conversation with Mike Resnick.  Love, Gay
