This is hard to write... I knew a bit more about how serious his
illness was and the nature of it before he mentioned on the list that he
was going to have surgery.
We had been sharing our WORDLE answers in emails and in early March he
wrote that he ws going in for surgery and why - he asked me not to share
that information...
(and I won't now either) but it was serious stuff . He was staying
optimistic about recovery .. heard from him while he was in hospital..
keeping to light exchanges.
Then about 10 days passed without and email but I spotted a "like" from
him on one of my photos on Fb so wrote and asked if he were out of
hospital... He replied
"Just returned home 45 mins ago. Sore all over, but otherwise OK. I
will check in when I can."
I replied there was no need for him to report just to take care of
himself.. and I saw he was making posts to the list..
On 4/27 he wrote:
"How are you doing doing? I am ever impressed at how you manage
to get along so well in that walk-up apartment. Take care of yourself."
He's asking ME how I am.. ! (Dan was one of a number PDML'rs who have
climbed 3 flights of stairs to visit me - He was last here in 2019 when
Jan Van Wyk
came to NY and we had a mini PDML
visit and lunch.. )
"While I don't have much pain, I am constantly stiff and sore... "
Right now, I am trying to get by one day at a time. Things will
improve, but very slowly. I need patience and faith."
I was surprised to see Bruce's post.. thought sure he would be back on
his feet and walking Blizzard before too long.. so sad.
