Update

[pat]

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has sent me good wishes through all this. I am still hospitalized, being pumped up with lots of different antibiotics, and feeling generally crummy, but not in imminent danger. I'm in Stanford Hospital, room F343, phone (650)498-3853. : >

Hi Pat,
I'm planning to visit Saturday afternoon.
I'll call first.
Lemme know when I call, if I can bring you anything.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling crummy, and that your recovery has been having its share of ups and downs.

I can sympathesize with the frustration you might be feeling -- that just when you think you are getting better, something else comes up. The past 2-3 weeks have been like that for me, and I am still wondering if I'm going to be 100% any time soon. It's very annoying during travel, and a bit scary when dealing with language barriers.

Did they give you an estimate as to how long they think you'll be there? I don't know what my access to phones and the internet will be this weekend, but if I can give you a brief call at some point I'd like to. Otherwise, I'm slated to return to Amsterdam Monday night.

Take care & many hugs. Hope you feel better soon -- my fingers are crossed for both of us, and you are in my thoughts.

Thanks, you are in my thoughts too -- although some of those thoughts are envious :> I know it must be no fun being sick abroad; it's hard enough sometimes to figure out doctors even when you speak the same language, and as you mentioned elsewhere, getting OTC drugs after hours can be a big hurdle. I hope your throat opens up some so you can really enjoy your time with mikz. Have fun on the "Romantic Road"! Sometime after you get back, ask brian1789 to tell you about our whirlwind trip through Bavaria. Its a funny story.

As far as how long I'll be in, I have no idea other than they said Thursday night that it would be at least 48 hours.
