June 11 - the final update

Well, this will probably be the final update from me. I am going to try to get Dick to put a final note out here but if you know Dick that will probably be impossible. Although, he does appreciate all those who followed the blog he is not much for writing. I just wanted to let you know that he has had his G-tube removed as of Tuesday June 9th. It was a little painful and for a little while he thought he was going to have to make a trip back to Florida to have it removed since no one here had ever seen the type that had been inserted in him. But in the end they were able to remove it successfully and he is now free of all medical apparatus and free of all memory of the accident. He is back to riding and walking up to three miles a day. He has had a long journey, as have we, but we are all thankful for such a wonderful outcome and a terrible lesson learned. Thank you for all your prayers, cards, calls, well wishes and everything else that brought him through and back home. He is that same ole Dick that we started out with on the ride in Florida on that sunny day in February.....no worse for the wear.
