June 2 - morning visit

Emily, Russ, and Alan visited Dad this morning. Bruce Clark and Les and Jan Spencer from church were also there and thought he looked very good.

The family was surprised that he was not wearing the neck brace! He looked relaxed and good. He communicated well. Russ asked if he could borrow the truck. We all think it needs to be driven some in order to stay in good running condition. Of course Dad said - "That's fine."

Emily consulted with the nurse about the collar and was pleased to hear that Doctor Kern, the neurosurgeon, came in this morning at about 8 AM and said that he didn't need to wear it while he was lying down. His staples at the surgical site will come out this afternoon. The physical therapist had been there this morning, and worked with his range of motion. We posted a copy of the cover of his book, A Name in the Sand, on his bed, as well as his weed poem.
