You all will be happy to hear that Ted and Mona are now HOME in Wisconsin after all these months of dealing with medical procedures and recovery issues!!!!!!!!!!

I spoke to Ted directly ......... he sounded more upbeat. He said "by the smell of the air, he felt this is where they belong". They had the window open in their bedroom last night and he said he slept great .... felt like he was in heaven. Ted also reported he is walking better and hasn't needed his walker for the past four weeks.

Mona said she made the drive from Gainesville to Chicago in four days. Than they stayed with their daughters in Chicago for a week before proceeding on to Wisconsin.
Once home in their own house, they were delighted to receive a 'welcome home' card from Hank and our gift book which the Gainesville Hospital forwarded to their home. Our gift book, which we sent in addition to our dish garden, was OPEN, an autobiography by Andre Agassi. While recovering in Gainesville, Ted said he didn't feel well enough to read but now he DOES and he's looking forward to reading this book.

The doctors told Ted it will take him nine months to recover. Since he's make progress with walking, he now seems to have a greater belief that he will recover ........ albeit slowly. Ted is set up with a new doctor at the Marshall Clinic in Warsaw and has his first appointment this Tuesday morning.

Mona said she is not on line yet but will resume communicating with us via emails in a few weeks.

Tennis rules,
