Our Buddy MJ

Thanks guys. I talked to Joe's daughter today. Seems it's not 100% that he had a stroke, but they believe he did. When they transported him from his local hospital to Tufts University Hospital in Boston, he had several bad seizures and another really bad one at the hospital. They ran a lot of tests on him. Most were inconclusive, so best they can tell, he had a small stroke. He was unconscious for several days so they had both a breathing tube and a feeding tube inserted. Apparently that's mostly why I had difficulty understanding him. He was having hallucinations and all sorts of other bad stuff going on. Since being discharged to the nursing home, he has been refusing to eat so they puree most of his food. His daughter is trying to get him to eat.
If anyone has a mind to send him a card to boost his spirits, Joe is at;
Joseph Gougeon c/o
Cape Cod Heritage Nursing Home
37 MA-6A
Sandwich, MA 02563

I told his daughter that I would try to get there to see him, but no promises given my situation. I'll post more as I receive more news.
Thanks fellas.
