Subject: RE: BS: Curmudgeon Fell -- On Way to Hospital
Horrendous night at Dover Rehab -- Tom didn't get much sleep.

The toilet is broken in his (shared) room -- so they were in at pre-3 a.m. doing plumbing things with all the lights on. Then they left -- leaving all the lights on. Tom shut the lights off; tried to get back to sleep. They came back and turned all the lights on. He now has to go way down the hall to a toilet.

Last night his antibiotics were an hour late (he was still waiting when I called him at 9:30). This morning his breakfast was again a child's portion.

GOT to get his car to him tomorrow. I don't have time today to clear the snow off and get a friend to help with the transfer. We'll do that tomorrow. (Logistics will be planned at Press Room tonight.) At least with a car, he can even just go out and sit in it and listen to real radio -- or drive not far away for some good coffee (and real food).

Even the doctor at Dover Rehab said he needs to get out of there. Nancy is setting up an appointment with Dr. Mendoza on Tuesday.
