A quick update on Gary – He was kicked out of the ICU about noon today. Understandably, he’s not feeling all that well. The nurse told him that this would be his worse day – possibly because they would be pushing him to do things he wasn’t especially in the mood to do. Dr. Tseng is very happy with his progress. Anne continues to report that his color looks GOOD. I don’t have the specifics as to what color that is. She was also happy that he was able to sit in a chair for about an hour and visit. He also talked about being hungry which is a sign that his digestive system is kicking in. That’s GOOD too.
We all just want him to feel better soon.
Thanks for another update. We hope each day is better than the day before. Hunger must be a good thing, especially when one has experienced major surgery! We eagerly await notice about intake of drink or food. 🙂 Tell Anne we’re thinking about her, too!
I called Good SAm and they did not know of Gary. (or are they confused?)Does anyone know the right hospital so i can send a get well card??? Thanks

Hi John – Marcia here, Gary’s sister in law. Gary is indeed at Good Sam (Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center). Who knows why they didn’t know him. The address is:
1015 NW 22nd Ave
Portland, OR 97210
I actually don’t know the room number, but I assume a card addressed to Gary Olson would reach him. I know he’ll appreciate it.
