I was very hesitant to go into details, but Bonnie's treatise rather opened the door
It was a VERY close call, and recovery is still going slowly.
Saw himself yesterday, and most of that Davish glint and what passes for coherency is back
(I'm allowed at least that much).
He's able to get into and out of the wheelchair quite nimbly - still relatively short excursions on a walker, and fussy enough about food to complain about the only 3 or 4 items on the menu worth the effort.
Ever enjoyed hospital food?

Well, at least I don't think it'll kill ya - they have professionals to ensure it's suitable for your condition. Making it safe, ready in substantial quantities on schedule can't be an easy task- but clearly having it look or taste like "food" you'd willing pay for is clearly a skill not readily trained or industrialized. And while you don't receive a little slip after each dining experience, you're paying far more for that hospital meal than you can imagine, and on any side of any border, those accounting for, and receiving income for the service probably want to keep those numbers on an encrypted sub-ledger
A fish taco food truck in the parking lot would probably have a lineup around the block.
But, back to Dave - thanks on behalf of Ruth and myself for the well wishes here and elsewhere - it means a lot to us all.

Just added my small bit. Trust the collection will amount to something really useful. Wish Dave a speedy recovery and all the strength that Ruth will need to handle things.All the best.........
I have a feeling the Mods might look the other way if it happens but I don't think we feel comfortable about doing it ourselves.
Glad to hear your AAA needs minimal attention.
Donated too (and first post in about 9 years).
Wishing Dave a speedy recovery.
If posting everywhere doesn't feel OK, how about adding a link to your signature?

Once. I had back surgery in a special little surgery clinic, they had a chef(!) that brought a menu by and cooked what you ordered. Only spent 1 day/night though.
I'll kick in a few $ at lunch.

Limited income here but also some medical issues, so I grok.
Note from a Southerner: The campaign is run in Canadian Dollars. If you use US money, know that you can enter about $1.30 CAD and it will take about US$1.00 out of your US credit card. current USD-CAD rate according to Google

No one can hold their eyebrows up forever!
Seriously though - maybe if, at every opportunity on any relevant topic, we post something like "go to planet10 forum for more info" then members would see this topic. Just a thought.
Guys, the interest in this is terrific. I think if you, as members wish to promote it, then it tells the other members you care. If the Mods do it, it might be interpreted that we are abusing our power.
That said, the support has been great so far. Thanks to all of you.

Thanks Bas.
A special thanks really goes out to Bonnie, the starter of this campaign and the one who convinced Ruth it was ok. Our job here is to make sure we meet the initial goal and then go beyond that to show how much we care.
Cheers.

Just had a look and we are getting closer everyday.
Thanks to those who have taken the time and given what they can.
Reminder: as soon as we reach the mark, I am matching the total so lets get this done.

I understand Ruth has been able to secure another vehicle to replace the one that didn't make it through the nasty winter. Good work people. Everything helps.
Cheers.
