I just met a Respiratory Specialist here in the hospital. He promised to join our group. He's a Patriots fan, but he is in interested in my story. Please welcome him when he comes. Name is Rey. He's going to make us look silly if we debate. We like that kind of challenge though, don't we !

By the way, thank you all for your your kind remarks and friendship.

Patriots fan? Sorry, Bruce. I have to put my foot down there! Just joking. The more, the merrier!

If we were ever going to allow a Patriots fan in, now is pretty good timing with Brady moving on. I wouldn't count out BB, however.

The good doctor and I agreed with that.

Waking out of that must have been the most remarkable thing...did you have any sense of time when you came to?

So good to hear!!!! As you can, keep moving, walk a bit, go from a couch to a chair and back again frequently. Mobilization helps a lot as you recover from lung problems such as you've experienced. Don't overdo it, and definitely check with your pulmonologist, but movement is your friend, as are all of us.

Great to see you back on here!!!!

I think I did a a lot sleeping. I remember a doctor asking me if it was night or day. I guessed wrong. I told him night time and it was 3PM.

I miss you guys so much. I mean, there isn't much football to talk about and I'm mostly sleeping if they aren't asking me to eat, do physical therapy, or I'm not on the phone. I've made a lot of phone calls to assure folks I'm going to make it.

I can't leave my bed unless someone is here. They don't want me to fall.

I met with the doctor today. I told him I wanted to be a blood donor if I could help others in trouble. He was very happy, but said that testing is necessary.

Meanwhile they are trying to get me to eat better. At first they were more worried about choking after coming out of the feeding tube. I've been upgraded to their best food. It's still barely edible. I lost a lot of weight.

You've been through so much. It's so cool to see you posting again and on your way to recovery.

Cousins aside--

What do we think of the metric and subsequent rankings? I "built it," so I am curious.

My only thought is can you imagine how pissed off the egomaniac Rodgers would be looking at that. 😂

Cousins has largely been rated in the 12-17 range in the strictly opinion shows like Movin the chains, and Bruce Murray’s show. Just FYI.

I think that finally actually has Cousins underrated.

And follow their orders!!! Like I said, do everything in coordination with your doctors and PT/OT people. What I said was mostly going forward, over the next several months. Slow and steady.....
