John has left the building...

When I called John this morning, he was out at group therapy (OT)  -- and when I talked to him at lunchtime, I realized he was really out at therapy: Piper (one of his OTs) took him and three other patients out to the Farmers' Market a block away from RIC. She fitted him with special gloves (with a really strong grip), and he was able to wheel his wheelchair part of the time. He's promised to take me to the Market the next time I'm able to visit on a Tuesday.

    John, We're here at Gaggle training at the new St. Joe and missing you! You'd be frustrated with the internet accessibility (not! we're using Ben's phone to connect!), but you'd be happy about all the cool new tech things that are happening. I'm so glad to hear you're doing better, moving around, and making such great progress. We miss you and are praying for you every day.

    That is the most awesome farmer's market trip ever. That is the type of 'he's not here' message you love to hear.
