Hi All,
I just got off the phone with Sheldon. He is, of course, still in the UVA
hospital in Charlottesville. I have talked with him a couple of times this
week. The first time he was too weak to talk, after having been on a walk down
the hospital corridor. Today he seems a bit stronger. At least he sounds
stronger on the phone.
He was hoping to come home, but the doctors want him to transfer to the
assisted facility section of the Bristol Regional Medical Center. After a
couple of weeks there the doctors want him to return to Charlottesville and
undergo another procedure. Sheldon is under the impression, that he may be
transferred to Bristol sometime this coming week.
He was told by one doctor, who is trying to keep Sheldon's blood sugar under
control, since Sheldon is a diabetic, that he has lost about half the function
of his pancreas. The doctor says that this will make it more difficult for him
to maintain his blood sugar levels in the future.
Sheldon says that he is taking the situation one day at a time, and is trying
not to get his hopes up about coming home very soon. He once again expressed
his thanks to those, who have inquired about him.
