Greetings all
I drove down to Savannah today and spent a couple hours with Walter. I
was the second meteorite person he has ever met, John Sinclair was the other.
So he was blown away with the signed poster and accompanying check from a group
of casual email acquaintances whom he has never met. Way to go guys.
As expected we talked meteorites, and hunting meteorites, and meteorite
people, and meteorite news etc, etc. We might even get him out to the Tucson
show one of these years.
His daughter is doing fine, out playing with her friends. The young heal
fast. I asked how his wife was doing and he said she has been incredible.
All the financial stuff and other things that Walter used to deal with she has
taken care of completely. She is there every day and Walter considers himself
luck to have her. Unfortunately she was not there during my visit so I did
not get to meet her.
As far as Walter himself goes he is getting better. He doesn't have much
of an appetite and it was obvious after a couple hours that he was getting
tired. While I was there the head of the rehab center dropped by and said
that as soon as the surgeons cleared him he was headed over to rehab. That is
expected sometime this week. After that the rehab people will torture him
until he can get in and out of bed and walk. A compound fracture of his upper
right leg makes that difficult now. Once rehab is done it will be home to his
own bed and family for further healing. That isn't the end though because
there will be further surgery required in the coming months. All in all he
looked really good for someone who nearly died at the scene of the accident.
