Recovering
Jan 25th, 2009 by Perry
On Tuesday, 20 January, after experiencing symptoms of cardiac distress, Paul went to his physician’s office and was promptly admitted him to the hospital where he remains. It seems he suffered a mild heart attack that his friend Dr. Helmut Moeller says only affected a small part of his heart. A heart catheterization, which Paul described as torture, was performed in an unsuccessful attempt to insert a stent.
I spoke with him on Saturday morning by Skype and found him in good spirits and apparently without pain. He hopes to return to his home this coming Monday or Tuesday where he will begin a regimen of rehabilitation.
If you would care to send him greetings or offer your wishes for a speedy recovery, feel free to leave a comment to this post. I’m sure his frequent emails will resume almost immediately upon his release from the hospital and he will relate this experience as only he can.
Ich wuensche Ihnen eine schleunige gute Besserung!
Or, in Cisatlantic parlance, I wish you a speedy recovery!

Dear Paule,
We send you our best thoughts and wishes. Kandy just this morning arrived back home after she and five Union mates (AFSCME) drove to the Inauguration. Sequoia flew into DC and shared the experience. They had a hell of a time and you would probably be surprised by how much the tenor of the country seems to have changed.
Who knows, you might find the place comfortable again.
(Get well as quickly as possible.)
love and bliss atcha,
john
Hey, hang in there! Baldige Besserung!, Denis F
Paule,
Sorry to hear the hands of the Rxorcist had to be laid upon you. You are missed in my house. Hurry back. Rey B.
I’m very concerned because the last email I received from Paul was on Friday, 30 January, and there’s been nothing since.
Can anyone tell me what’s happening with Paul?

Hold on, dear heart! We curmudgeons need you around for a long while more. You must have elicited sympathetic pains for two weeks ago I was diagnosed as a diabetic and just yesterday the report from a sonogram revealed a possibility of a cancer of the thyroid. I just knew the glands would get me in the end.
Hope this note finds you in good health & that the dog has his daddy back for daily walks.
