Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Karl. So sorry to hear about your crisis.

Karl wrote that his left hand is still strengthening, gradually, but definitely improving.

He also mentioned that he would be transferred to a different facility in West Newton, which might have happened today, or should happen tomorrow.  I would assume that such a transfer is another step toward recovery.

The transfer to the sub-acute rehab facility will be after the weekend

I see the GoFundMe fund has leapt up to $12,000 so the total including the Facebook fund is over $20,000.

Great to hear of these steady improvements Karl is making.

Dear Karl, it's only now that I read about what happened to you.
Words fail me to think what you and yours have been going through, those first days!
And still are.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas.

We have had our own ongoing family health crisis, so I am very late to the game in catching up. I have donated 2018's GMG subscriptions to Karl's GoFundMe campaign.

As a medical person, I have some small understanding of what Karl, his wife and family are going through. My whole-hearted best wishes, Karl, for a speedy and complete recovery. If its slow, then be it steady.

May I offer a small anecdote? When GMG was still a fledgling site, we had a sudden and large influx of members from another well-known forum. I was warned by one of our existing members that I should keep a close eye on a new member called Karl. He was, I was told, a trouble-maker, incendiary and volatile. Nowadays, such a person would be called an internet troll. So when Karl signed up, I made it my special focus to watch everything he posted. My extra-critical eye was watchful for second meanings and anything inflammatory in his posts. It was only after many months of suspicion that I realised that this Karl was probably not the Karl I was warned about, or that I was being trolled by the warning itself. Karl, as you are all aware, has been the most exemplary member on GMG, always courteous and helpful, insightful, tolerant and wise. A credit to our forum! Thank you, Karl for your contribution to GMG and may it continue well into the future.

cheers

Well, he is a trouble maker, causing me nightmares... from the first day I am a member here, I always hear him chortling in my sleep! :laugh:

Nuff blabbering: thanks for the story and the GMG contribution is an awesome gesture. Thumbs up.

Grateful to be on the mend, the goal is full recovery

Good for you Karl; keep it up. A positive mind set is very important in situations like this.

I am pleased you are doing so well.

+ 1, wholeheartedly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Karl!

I just wanted to mention that before Handel composed The Messiah, he had suffered a stroke!  And later he was losing his eyesight while he composed Samson.   0:)

The great gain over the past couple of days has been I can pinch between my left index finger and thumb, who knew I could get so excited about such a minor operation?

They've been telling me that musicians as a class recover well from stroke

Hey, that means that you could hold a baton in your left had. You may not be able to wave it yet but that is your next goal  ;D
