The Gate has moved from a hospital to a rehab facility where he is mending
before an artificial shoulder joint implant is done, probably next week.

He is having trouble keeping food down and that, along with everything else,
has made him quite weak. They will do an evaluation on him tomorrow
(Wednesday) to determine what the problem is.

He always asks his sister to read the cards to him and she says he looks
forward to them, as he is quite isolated and immobilized.

So here's where you can send (more) cards: Charlie Spratt
