Guest BluesLover Posted December 5, 2007 Share #79 Posted December 5, 2007 Bruce - thanks for keeping us informed and it is so good that to hear that there is improvement in his condition. Let us know if and when he is capable (and willing) of receiving visitors. In the meantime, please let him know that he is in our thoughts.

Yammer Dan Posted December 5, 2007 Share #80 Posted December 5, 2007 The strength will come when he gets to start moving around. Being down like that is hard on you. It takes a lot of time to get back what you loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bates Posted December 28, 2007 Share #94 Posted December 28, 2007 Diane and I went to visit Gary N (Nantais) to day, he’s at the Windsor Regional Hospital-Western Campus, 1453 Prince Rd. Room 2515. About 5 Lights from the bridge. Make a right. He was excited to see us. We ended up staying over 4 hours. As we were leaving some more friends stop in, we all talked, laughed and had a good time. Gary is much better but has a long ways to go. He just started walking. Folks, he’s ready for visitors. He will be there for a few more weeks and maybe longer. So if you can fine the time stop in and say hello....... P.S He did say he wants to get another bike and he loves to ride. He likes Motorcycles, Roadsters magazines .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted December 28, 2007 Share #95 Posted December 28, 2007 If he could use some recent Popular Mechanics mags, I could send him some. Let me know and I'll get them right out. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted December 29, 2007 Share #99 Posted December 29, 2007 Joyce and I just got in from visting Gary this evening. As others here have said he's doing well and happy for any company coming his way. Hopfully he'll make it to our year end party but if not we'll have one for his coming out maybe. Whatever he is improving and that's what matters most. Thou it's been and still will be a long recovery for him. Larry & Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
