UPDATE ON DORE SCHWAB
Nancy Ridout reports:"I saw Dore this Saturdy morning and he looked a
whole lot better than I had expected. He tires very easily, which
upsets him, and needs to rest often. His right hand is weak and not
performing the skills it used to. His speech is a bit slurred but he
is very easy to understand. He said he shuffles with the walker and
doesn't really walk.
"His seemed pretty upbeat! I think he's surprised at all the
concern we have shown. Keep them coming; they mean a lot to him.
"He is at Smith Ranch Road Care Center. He will be there for 3
weeks. I told him several times how so many people are pulling for
him, sending their best wishes and prayers, and are so concerned
about his current condition. When I asked him if he believed in the
power of prayer and was open to positive thoughts, his response was
that he would do his best and not let anybody down. It wasn't the
answer I had hoped for but whatever it takes I guess. It does point
out that our support really means a lot to him and his recovery.
"His mind is clear and sharp and he is obviously frustrated at the
turn of events but you all are giving him the support he needs to get
back on his feet. He is very thankful for that and mentioned it
several times."
