Richard Thompson's medical status
I've just spoken to Richard's wife Amy and found out that he'll be discharged from the hospital to a local nursing facility for days of physical, occupational and speech therapy. He did fine with his first day of a new hip, but of course the Parkinsons that caused the fall will not make this recovery easy.
She's also planning on giving him his iPad soon so he'll be able to read email directly, without responding in his morphine dreams.
