Charlie (Fr Haroldson)

I spoke to Charlie tonight and he has asked me to relate the following information to the KR family:

Charlie is currently being hospitalized at St. Luke's Hospital in Nazareth, Pa.  He has a life threatening condition called DVT, or deep vein thrombosis.  He is undergoing a treatment to clear the blockage tomorrow.  The procedure has a high probability of success and he is in good spirits and hopes to be on his feet soon.  He wanted me to post this information and asked for everyone's positive thoughts.  He said with a bit of luck he will be back at KR very soon, even if he has to wear a green headband for a while.  I will update this information once I speak to him following the procedure.

Please send a few prayers his way in the hopes of a speedy recovery.

Feel better Charlie, Glad everything went well.

Get well soon Charlie

Get well soon Charlie, Hugs from Kathryn and I. Missed you at the October event.

I appreciate the well wishes and good karma sent my way.   I was discharged from St. Luke;s Bethleham today.  Yesterday was the first day in two weeks I was allowed to walk.  Briefly, I will be on blood thinners for at least 3 months and will be green headbanded during that period.  To make a very long story short, I was misdiagnosed and treated improperly at first, which led to critical complictions.  St. Lukes is the best - no problems there.

I will do my best to oogle all those of the appropriate gender who mistakenly called me a dirty old man.  I am late-middle aged.   The chicken salad is a bonus, albeit a very tasty one.  I have a bit of a limp (temporary) and have to recover a bit of my constitution, but the only change in my KR participation will be the nn-combat requirement do to the blood thinnning medications which makes bruising more likely and possibly cmplicated.  I do not need clotting related complications now - necromancers, yes, blood- no.

I will be at the November Event and will bring the usual supplies and oversee, if not prepare, Satruday and Sunday Breakfast.  Remember, (I hope this is not metagaming, but as it involves feeding the flock, it should be posted somewhere), for IG reasons Edwin will not be making Friday night stew.

Those of you into jargon:  My left femoral vein was occluded to the point that no blood was returning from below the knee.  That was the deep vein part.  The sephacious (which I probably misspelled but I know what it is) vein was superficially blocked as well.  I do not do things by half.  How serious did they think it was?  Friday -night I was ambulanced to St. Lukes and I was an early morning Saturday (with the weather) procedure.  Still not told to walk I was expected to use a portable urinal.  I will leave you wilth a disquieting image (just for you, Jenna) - BLACK  

Glad to see you are recovering well, Charlie.  Thinking good thoughts and look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Charlie, I wish you the best of luck for your speedy and complete recovery. Get well soon.

Glad to hear you're alright.

See you soon, feel better sooner.
