From Diamondsr4me:
Just received Tramp Update from his friend Phil ......
Just talked to Ron.
He is feeling very well, still a little weak, but improving each day. Ron said the doctors were taking a conservative approach (a little at a time he said). Ron is sleeping good, eating good, and they will start a regular regiment of therapy on Monday.
Ron said they were holding off until next week on physical therapy until he had more strength. I was under the impression that he had already started therapy, getting conflicting info. Anyway, sounds like his strength is good enough to start regular therapy next week.
Ron hopes to be coming home soon. I think a couple more weeks at least. We will see.
Ron had a great turkey dinner on Thursday with all the trimmings. He says the food there is really good.
Ron was really upbeat today ... sounded good!
Keep the ecards coming folks. Will send another update in a few days.
Thanks, Phil.

Talked to Ron this afternoon. (12 / 2 / 2014)
Ron has had a little set back. He said as of yesterday he was having trouble breathing good.
Couldn't get proper air to his lungs.
Doctors are trying different things to see what helps.
New doctor tried a 10 year old remedy that cleared his mucus pretty good, but Ron cannot get up and walk too good/far yet.
Ron is doing daily therapy, but does not have much strength or breath to do anything other than standing by his bed for a short while.
Ron thinks he might be home in a week or so ... we will see. (I do not think so)
Keep the Ecards/prayers coming.
Thanks,
Phil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Diamondsr4me:
Update on Tramp, from his friend Phil.........
I talked with Ron several times yesterday. He is being released from the Billings hospital. Hospital told Ron on Friday that they wanted him out of there this weekend, but they wanted $3000.00 up front for an Ambulance ride home. I can’t believe they gave such short notice on him leaving … something just doesn’t sound right here.
I told Ron that I could come get him, but could not get there until this Monday the 8th.
There is communication going on with our local Thermop hospital on getting him a ride back home (the local hospital here said they would get Ron home when he was done in Billings over two weeks ago). But now they are backing off on that statement.
If we do not hear from our local Thermop hospital by Sunday, then I will be headed to MT to pick up Ron and bring him home to his house on Monday. I am not real keen on this idea … if something was to happen to Ron on the 3 ½ hour ride home, we would be SOL. But I see no other alternative.
Ron said that he is still weak and cannot walk on his own (has to use a walker to get around). Do not know why the Billings hospital is sending him home so early (has only been 17 days as of today in the Billings hospital).
As a matter of fact, Ron called me yesterday and said they were kicking him out of the hospital early. Ron said his doctor wanted him to stay for 21 days of treatment, but higher authority has overruled and wanted him out. Do not know what that is all about, but that is what Ron said.
Ron is feeling better but is not as strong as he was when he left the Thermop hospital a few weeks ago. He said he could get therapy at the Gottche Center (rehab facility) here in Thermop when he gets home.
I told Ron that he should go to a Thermop nursing home until he was more stable and could get around on his own better. He flat refused to do that.
So, I will be going to get Ron this Monday and bring him home unless we hear otherwise.
Will update you if I get any news prior to me leaving Monday morning for Billings.
Thanks, Phil-------------------- JudoJack

Sorry that I was not available for these updates on Dec 6th, and thank you Phil, and Diamondsr4me for the updates.
I know most of the other boards did receive them on a more timely basis.
So happy that TRAMP is getting stronger and will be going home soon.
Best Always,
JudoJack

Hey John,
Tramp is doing much better.
He's been on the "mic" quite often in Paltalk... in the Grapevine, and lead the "Meeting of the Minds" this past Saturday.
Thanks for asking.

Ahh! The Proverbial BOOT!
I've been the recipient of such a Calamitous event in the past. It was however a misguided act that produced little in the End.
I remembered when Oogie booted me... so I wrote "Oogie don't give me Presents from the old Beatles song, My Love don't give me Presents.
And, when Wodan and Flugel bounced me from PalTalk... I wrote "Wodan and Flugel" to Frosty The Snowman. I found it very therapeutic and always seem to answer their misgivings most appropriately.
It's True... The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!
Be Well.
PS. BTW John... I do hope you're recycling all those beer bottles.

I don't drink like I did back in the days of the old CMKX boards.. I like to go out to eat and have a nice cold draft beer. No empty bottles. But I do drink a lot of water lately. I take the bottles to the recycle machine and wait for an old timer to come up and cash in his or her bottles. I ask them a question about what are they going to do with all that money..? After they answer, I give them my bag of bottles and tell them to have a cold drink on me.. You really have to see the big smiles I get..
