Patty says: Finally the time has come for Walter to have his surgery to put the bone back in his head. The surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 16th. I think he is the strongest and most alert since he has been home. He is still pretty aphasic but knows exactly what is going on. He has been working hard on his arms and legs. I am giving him lots of ice cream and food to fatten him up before surgery. As we speak he is out with his brother and Tom Wahl for a beer at Hooligans. He is going to a medical day program once a week which he seems to enjoy. We have had lots of visitors to keep his brain stimulated. He helped Corinne to decide which card to play when we played euchre. He is still reading lots and watching his "favorite" The military channel. He never gets tired of TV and always told me if anything ever happened to him to "prop him up in front of the tv and he would be fine". And he is.
I want to thank his friends again for their dedication to Walter. Our wedding party guys have really come through for Walter at this most difficult time in his life. Not to mention Tom, Gary and of course Tippy. Tippy has helped me with bringing him to the many, many dr. appts. I was feeling very worn out for a while there. I am going to have surgery while Walter is in the hospital on my other knee. I tore my meniscus in the other knee pushing the wheelchair up and down the ramps.
Walter will probably be in the hospital for at least 2 weeks. Visitors are welcome and appreciated!!!
Thanks again to my "special" girlfriends for their continued support. I do not know what I would do without them.
If you want to give Walter a good luck and get well wish, I will read them to him in the hospital. Please continue to pray for a quick recovery from this surgery with no infections to complicate things. St. Jude: Thank you for favors received.

Hi Patty,
Gino said that he had the best visit with you and Walter and that Walt was the best he has seen in a long while. Gino said they played Tic Tac Toe and that Walt 's reasoning skills were very apparent as he beat Gino 2 out of 3 games.
Also, how sweet of you to buy such cute outfits for Tessa! I was amazed you found the time and energy. How thoughtful - you are amazing!
Best Good Luck to Walt with his surgery. And take care of yourself too - good luck with the knee. We will visit Walt as soon as we get his room number and the Ok to come up. Hopefully everything will go very well and no infections!!!!!

Hey Wally. Best of luck on your upcoming surgery and on yours too Patty. Judy and I will remember you both in our prayers. I'm going to the Astros game today Wally, it's a 1:00 Businessmans Special...The bar open at 11. I'll have one in your honor. The Yankees are in town this weekend. All games are sold out. They had a lottery to get tickets but I didn't get picked. A customer at work offered me his season tickets for Fridays games....only $200 bucks apiece for two tickets....I love the Yankees but not that much!!!
All the best Amigo!!
