Joe is recovering at the hospital. He is still in great pain. Every day he walks several times the length of the corridors.

He has reestablished intestinal transit, which is great news. But unfortunately it also comes with more pain.

Joe is hooked up with a bunch of catheters and tubes, so when he walks he has to take a whole edifice of bags and liquids with him.

He is very pleased to have so many visitors. His room is full of cards, balloons, and gifts. So keep on visiting him! But don’t bring food or books. He can’t eat or read right now.
