Any update on Don?

[belinda]

Belinda, your t-shirt is awesome! Love the "Bilious Yellow" color.

Can you possibly send an X-Lg to Don? (via his brother's address)

I'd be happy to chip in for cost of shipping etc, as I'm sure others will. Please let us know. Don's sister said he could really use some more t-shirts.

Guess I'm not eligible for membership in the Gallstone Club myself yet, but I can live with that.

Thanks,
Bunny

PS: Love your Anastasia shirt! Have studied Russian History, Literature, & the Romanovs since I was 13 and read 'Nicholas & Alexandra' from the first time.

Don's 'London Pubs' T-shirt

Hi guys.

Just got a quick call from Don. He sounded pretty good, is still recuperating from gall bladder surgery.

He called to thank me for a shirt I sent him.
I've been wracking my brains trying to think of a way to get him a Jack the Ripper t-shirt that wasn't something all bloody & goth that would creep out his nurses!

Finally came upon a cool tshirt featuring the signs of 'London Pubs' - and guess which ones are included?
'The Jack the Ripper' and 'The Sherlock Holmes'. I sent it to Don's brother and have been waiting to hear if it fits Don.

Don said he wore his new London Pubs shirt yesterday and said everybody at Fairview loved it and commented upon it. He said he wore it with Belinda's Aussie flag cap... ha ha...Probably the greatest example of sartorial splendor Fairview has ever beheld.

I hope the shirt will be a fun conversation piece for him. I figured it would be much easier for him to chat about Jack the Ripper and Victorian London while wearing a London Pub t-shirt than if he just starts talking about Serial Killers out of the blue...who knows how the nurses would take that!

I know Fairview's industrial type laundry will be kind of tough on the pub shirt, but I asked Don's brother if he could please take it home to wash it so it lasts longer.

Don asked me to say hi to all of his friends and thank you for the postcards, he said he's "delighted" whenever he receives one.

Thanks,
Bunny

I think medically speaking they should all be yellow.

Hi Belinda!

Great hat! As fully paid-up members of Casebook does that mean that we get a free sample each? If so, I'd love a green one.

Bunny,
I PMed you the name of Don's physical therapist who might want to help with the iPad plus some info about Siri.

[mariab]

I'm with Michael on this, and I think we should concentrate on bringing Don back online. I think Bunny has a paypal account, and if necessary I'd like to contribute.

Pertaining to Don's iPad getting stolen repeatedly, how about if Bunny talked to Don's brother and asked him to have a word with one of Don's physical therapists (whom he knows well, since last summer, they're on friendly terms) and ask one of them to keep Don's iPad in their locker?

As soom as he goes online, there's a software called Siri which he can also use to dictate emails, if one of his arms is still weak.

[The Good Michael]

If you want to tag along, feel free! Assume that money and other little details like logistics, climate, and national borders are no object.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with everything. I have a question regarding treating this idea as a money-is-no-object one. Doesn't that make the idea less realistic? Why not help plan something that, logically, we could all afford? Is there something we are not being told here?

Anyway, thanks again.

Mike

PS. Does Don have an address that I could transfer money to with online billpay? I'm asking because I would like to help him to get online.

Update

Hi everyone. Got a brief update n Don from his sister.

She talked to his nurse & therapist and said they gave him a "glowing" report. Don happened to be in the hall with them so they passed him the phone.

His sister said Don sounded "happy and good and is very excited about touring Europe!"

I gave Don some good news last time we talked, and suggested we expand the trip to London he's been planning for over a year so we can also visit Edinburgh.

I also suggested we "upgrade" to a 'luxury' tour. Don obviously likes that idea, because now it has become a tour of Europe!

Please feel free to send Don postcards with suggestions of interesting places to include on the luxury tour of Europe, which I have a feeling is going to become a 'luxury tour of the world'.

It can be anyplace in the world- anyplace you've been, or anyplace you've always wanted to go. You're welcome to include a personal invitation to visit you, Don will enjoy that.

If you want to tag along, feel free! Assume that money and other little details like logistics, climate, and national borders are no object. Got any favorite restaurants, castles, museums, or historical sites?

Don will have fun plotting his international itinerary and chatting about it.

Thanks everyone,
Bunny

I am pleased that Don is no longer in a staple condition.

Bunny,
I PMed you about an idea I have about sending Don some podcasts.

Only I doubt they'll fit on a CD-ROM, I suspect we'd need a USB flash drive.

Maybe he can do some physio about his arm/hand and use his iPad in a couple weeks, when he feels stronger, since the device has been found again.
