[Artemisia] News about Angrim the Unreasonable

[Jacquie Ziegler]

  Greetings all!

Many of you reading this know that Angrim the Unreasonable (Uncle 
Grumpy) has not been doing very well for the past year or so, health-wise.

This weekend he went by ambulance to the hospital, and ended up having 
the lower part of his left leg - about half-way up the calf - amputated. 
He's doing much better, and wants visitors.

He's in Room 2215 at Billings Clinic (was Deaconess Hospital before the 
consolidation) and visiting hours are 8 am to 8 pm. This is in the 
Ambulatory Telemetry Unit (ATU). He is still weak, but alert, and does 
tire easily still.

It'll be quite a while before he gets fitted for a prothestic, as the 
stump needs to heal and shrink first. When I told him he had gone from 
'Grumpy' to 'Stumpy', he laughed and got that little gleam in his eye. :-)

Maybe by 12th Night we can get him a peg leg and parrot, as that is what 
he asked me for today.

I am not a family member, so don't have any other specific information. 
I can relay well wishes from out of town folk - email me privately so I 
can print them out for him - and in-town people are welcome to contact 
me if they need to.
