Walt's camera has had 3 shots left in it for a couple of months. I decided to ask him to finish up the roll on Saturday. He gave it a good effort but couldn't quite press the shutter button with only one hand. As Patty mentioned, Walt had a good week compared to some recent ones. When I visited he tried talking with me--I think he may have been complaining about the "boots" that were on his feet to keep them from curling. Overall he looked relatively comfortable. Maybe he has beat his most recent infection.
I have reprinted Patty's recent message below. Walt may be leaving St. Mary's soon. I'm hoping he will be able shoot the rest of the pictures that are left before he leaves. If not, I hope someone uses it to record his last day at St. Mary's.

Patty says: Tom: Northeast is 1 hr from Albany off of the thruway. Walter has been accepted, now I have to convince insurance to pay for this (otherwise I have to pay 791.00 a day) Yikes! It is what it is.
Walter cannot have a garbage plate yet. He is on pureed food for now because he could not keep his head up to eat because of the "tone".
Thank you Tom for your continued support!! You are a wonderful, caring and kind friend. All friends should have your qualities!! The world would be a better place to live.
Thanks to everyone who visited Walter this week. He had a good week. Hope this continues!!
See you at St. Mary's!!

Hi all, This is Corinne and Rick. We are in England at the moment.
Thanks for the post Gino, It makes a difference hearing how Walt is doing while we are so far away.
Love to all
Corinne and Rick
Hi Patty,
I hope that Walter is over his infection; it certainly makes matters worse. Good luck and strength dealing with insurance companies! The sqeaky wheel will get the grease!!
Love,
Cousin Debby
Patty says: Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. St. Mary's just called. They are in my words "kicking him out:. But that is not a bad thing. For now, he will be at the Hurlbert Home. They have offered a private bed and therapy. I will be paying 300.00 a day. And I will be fighting the insurance company. When Walter gets settled visitors would be welcome. Keep praying for his recovery and that insurance will kick in. Then we will send him to Northeast where he can recover with his mountains by his side to give him strength.
Thanks for all of your continued support!!
