He's broken the 100 pound barrier. Getting stronger every day. Looks like Medicare may help with his eyesight, but not certain yet.

Here's where he lives...

Here's how he's looking...

Clay has gained 7 lbs., is hardly needing his oxygen tube, and walks a brisk pace pushing his wheelchair ahead of him. I'm a fast walker, and I was keeping up with him, rather than the other way around.

clay 003.jpg Clay's doing much better, walking almost a mile a day with his wheelchair for a walker in case he runs out of steam. Looks like he may have gained a couple of pounds. He's still getting most of his nourishment through a feeding tube. Swallowing is difficult because the radiation burned...

Sorry to be so delinquent in catching folks up. For a guy with no job, my life has been incredibly busy. Clay is at http://www.doctorshealthcareandrehab.com /, 9009 White Rock Trail, Dallas, TX 75238-3347, room 304. He is able to be off his oxygen machine for extended periods, is walking a little, a...

Lrod was lookin' pretty good...

They've made the target mask for his radiation. The actual treatment begins next week. He's hoping to come out to his band's gig Saturday night an...

We can use items for the silent auction and door prizes, for sure.

Announcing the Save the Poet's Eyes Benefit Concert, August 21 at Poor David's Pub in Dallas. Make your plans now!

It's a Sunday afternoon and early evening thing with live music and a silent auction and crazy antics. Jim Franklin (http://yb3d.com/jimfranklin.html) has donated an original artwork.

Visited Lrod briefly today, took him a set of strings for the guitar I loaned him last week, and some B-complex vitamins to hopefully boost his immune system. His color, etc. is much better. They put a new feeding tube in his throat and told him not to eat any solid food for now. He starts radiation...

Lrod has a Mac, but I'll investigate the possibilities.

For those of you wondering why Lrod doesn't post himself--his eyesight is so poor at this point that he has to copy and paste what he wants to read, then blow it up large enough to see, then do the reverse with his entries. Quite a pain in the butt. His eye appointment is in November. He has tried e...
