My computer was down earlier. I stayed several hours at the hospital. He is now pretty heavily sedated, although he did know I was there and spoke a little. Several friends and a lot of family were in and out. I know Semilive stopped by after I left. He is stable so far, but the prognosis is not good. I won't post here about the specific problems he is having, but we're just waiting to see what the next development will be. I will go back first thing in the morning. Don

I spent a few hours at the hospital. Linda was able to take a break while I was there. Hank is resting most of the time. He did wake up long enough to speak to me. They are trying to keep him comfortable. Don

Hank was actually feeling a lot better today. He was awake and mentally sharp. Dean Mathis was there and the three of us talked about old times. Joe Lee Richards was on the way into town and should be up there by now. I would have stayed longer, but they took him out for a Cat scan. I will go back in the morning. DonM

Don, Hank is lucky to have a friend like you. It must be comforting to him to have you any so many of his freinds around him during such a tough time for him. My prayers are with Hank and his family and friends today. George Kaye

Don is definitely a great friend. Here's to Hank. Glad to hear he is coherent, that is a major improvement. They keep you so knocked out when you are in pain.

Hank has asked to be moved back to Cornerstone Hospital, a rehab center, so that he will be more comfortable. He and Linda are hoping that he can gain some strength back. They plan to move him today if all goes well. He is still in constant pain and has to take some pretty strong pain medication to tolerate it, so that keeps him pretty knocked out a lot of the time. He was able to talk to me some yesterday. He is a strong person and continues to fight to get better. He wants to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. DonM
