Bill Reeves was fitted for a prosthesis last week and will start physical therapy as soon as he’s able to walk on his new foot. He hopes to be driving again as soon as he gets approval from his doctor and the DMV. While he was waiting for his surgical incision to heal Bill had a wall display made showcasing his military career in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Bill Reeves’ surgery was a success and he just found out that he may be able to go home on Friday, if all goes well and the Physical Therapy team releases him. He’s been building strength in his upper body so that he’ll be able to manuever the wheelchair that he’ll have to use for the next few weeks while his foot heals.

Bill wants to thank all of you for the cards, phone calls and visits. As some of you know, it can get pretty lonely in the hospital, especially for lengthy stays.

He is going to need some help with transportation for a while, so if any of you live near Vista, California and are available to drive him to and from medical appointments, Bill would really appreciate your help. In the meantime, let’s keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

You can reach Bill on his cell phone at 760-295-9655.

Today I received a phone call from Bob Justice, Corky’s husband.  Bob said that Corky was in the hospital but said I could talk to her later in the day,  so I called her this afternoon and spoke to her.  She is having chemotherapy for a blood cancer called multiple myeloma.  She was diagnosed in December and was put on medication at that time but is now having a stronger treatment.  She said it was time to let her classmates all know about her condition which is treatable but could not be cured.  She has her cell phone at the hospital and said she can have calls there but I suggest they are best later in the day as she is heavily sedated earlier in the day.  Her cell number is 209 988-3301.  It is a verizon phone.  She may be home in a few days but she doesn’t know about that yet.   Her house number is 559 592-2192.  If you wish to send a card her address is 605 Hannah Ave, Exeter, CA 93221.  Corky is always such a cheerful and optimistic person, I know she will appreciate calls and cards.  She has not felt well enough for a couple of months to respond to her emails.  When she is well enough to email, I will provide you with her email address.
