10/20 Tues update

Brandy & Christina went in to see Joe this morning and I took another lovely walk in Sharon Woods Park.  Rusty and I met them for lunch, then we all went up to see Joe.

He worked a little longer with PT this morning, mostly standing and sitting. Still can't quite sit himself up on the edge of the bed.  They plan to remove the trach tube tomorrow.  He ate well and talked a lot, about writing, teaching, poetry and what happens next.  Read the newspaper.  Fell asleep trying to read e-mail.  We wheeled him outside into the nice atrium, wrapped in a blanket, for just a few minutes.  Great to be in the sunshine, he said.  He was up in the wheelchair three times today.  Hope that means he'll sleep well tonight.  Love, Gay
