[Elecraft] OT - A Personal Note

[Mike Flowers]

Hi Ted,

Sorry to hear about this, but glad you are up to writing an email.  This is a very good sign, indeed. 

And do all the therapy and then some!

I hope to hear you in the bands very soon!

Best wishes for a quick recovery from this.

Hemmorhage was in the medulla in the brain stem, a place where – by way of crude analogy – much of the final digital to analog neural translation occurs for almost everything left of midline.

Two days in a general hospital ER; three in a neural-intensive care unit at the next hospital, where my friend and yours Fred Cady KE7X passed away just a couple of weeks ago; then a transfer here where I am trying to learn how to stand up and walk again.  Fine motor control in left hand is gone – so probably not able at present to send with right fist and turn the Big Knob with the left.

And this is the kind of news one shares with friends; not a CQ for well wishes on-list.  In any case, it will explain an uncharacteristic silence -- after this note.  (Typing by searching for one letter at a time is awkward and slow.)
