I finally got a call into Hugh today. I noticed he hasn't had any thing on the forum for a while and he wouldn't answer any of my e-mails. Tryed to call him before today but no answer. He got to his old home for one more load to move to thier new home, was there a day and they put him into the hospital, the covid-19 got him. Bit him in the A$$ real bad. He still dosn't sound to good but says he is feeling better and thinks they are about ready to kick him out. He said he was goin g to hire some help to finish his move. He has a long way to travel when he is pretty much upside down.
I think you meant HUGH, Not good news at all. Hope he has a good recovery and back soon.
Thanks for the correction, yes I did mean Hugh. He has been here at my place twice, I enjoy his visits, sure hope he dosen't have much after affects from this crap.
So he's still in the hospital? He was hoping to get out Sunday. I knew he was there but didn't think I should post this info on the forum. When he stopped by here to p/u the rotisserie, he had an extremely bad cough. We loaded the rotisserie with the cherry picker and he and Bob left directly. The total time here at the house was about 20 minutes, just enough to load and no visiting. I've stayed home since finding out he had covid. I'll try to go to physical therapy today but may not get past the screeners since today is the 15th day since seeing him.
I'm hoping Hugh is well enough to be released from the hospital today! I know several people who've have covid and all seem to have effects that linger for months.
I hope everyone else is healthy. The vaccine isn't available, here in Idaho, to my wife and I until April.
That's not very good news. I hope he makes it thru all this. Hugh didn't think the covid was real....I'm sure he's a believer now. The three of us here said a prayer for him. Now I'm worried about his wife in Branson, and wondering if Sasha was with him. That's one great dog. Not sure who Bob is, but I hope he's ok.
Bob is a good friend of both Hugh and his wife and has been caring for Sasha. Bob is also moving to the Branson area.
Hugh apologized for bringing the stuff to my house but he didn't come in so I don't feel that he brought anything here. Saying that I'm certain that he believes it now!
too bad, .... wishing you a speedy recovery Hugh !
we all have to be very careful. it can happen to anybody.
Only have been visiting our closest family for holidays and I now refuse to meet anybody inside the house for the next weeks or so. It'll eventually go away, but we all still have to be patient and duck and cover! Good luck everybody, hoping the best for Hugh.
Terry, Hugh asked me to post what he has going on. He has made a lot of friends here on this forum and just wanted to let you guys know what was going on. If I understood him right he dosen't have access to his computer

I was positive he wanted everyone to know but "just in case" didn't post it. The last thing I want to do is invade someone's privacy. I knew you wouldn't post this w/o him asking you to.
Here's to a speedy recovery for Hugh!
Alvin, Terry.......any word from Hugh?
I have not heard from him but will give him a call this afternoon. Will let you know what I find out. Alvin
I haven't heard from him.
I just talked to Hugh, he got out of hospital Monday. Says he rather weak and short of breath, but is moving forward. He said he would post something tonight. He sounded a lot better than when I talked to him last. Take care, Alvin
Good news !
Atta Boy Hugh, bad breath is better than no breath.
Terry
:canada:
Good he is out of the hospital. Must be rough being in the middle of a move, and so many miles from his new home. It sounds like it really kicked his butt.
:023:
I just now found this thread. So...
Rich...wasn't that I didn't believe it was real...it is I didn't believe a lot of the stuff being put out there about how to "avoid" it. Still don't...I avoided society for the most part...and yet...still go it. My wife was literally tied to my hip from 5 days before her retirement until I left on this trip...and yet when she got it, she got the "Oh Damn...I have a cold" version. Go figure. There is no rhyme or reason.
My first day home I spent in a chair sleeping pretty much.
Sasha is doing well...she and Bob have always been close, but she was sure thrilled to see me home. She HATES the oxygen machine that I have to use, she associates it I am sure with me being gone and coming home weak.
Also, I texted you on Jan. 1st. Part of it was nonsense, (I was not doing well) but it kinda laid out what was going on. Did you not get it? I checked my phone and it says the text went through. ????
I was released a week ago today for the last time...and have been making solid progress...sleeping better (when I can shut off my thinking tool) and gaining capacity for breathing and strength each day. Still doing oxygen and drugs, and they have me on a ton of various vitamins. I've taken more pills since this started than I have in my entire life I think.
Under my "On the Road again" thread I posted an update as to time lines.
My son who is still here has been a HUGE help...would have been a rough few first days last week without him that's for sure.
Thanks to all for the positive thoughts and prayers...I can see a spec of light in the distance...but there aren't any tracks around, so I am pretty sure it isn't a train! LOL!!! Baby steps...gotta keep remembering that...I hate standing around while others do what I should be doing. I am practicing patience. Sorta.
I'll check back in soon. :002:
Just checked, and I did get it. I'm not much of a texter, so I don't check for stuff unless somebody alerts me to look. I will start to look more often. Thanks for sending it though, seriously. Glad you are making progress! Gotta be tough when you got so much stuff you want to get done.
It is horrendously tough. I HATE sitting on my tail while others are ding my stuff. But is is getting done. With any luck at all, I should be east bound by Wednesday...Thursday at the latest of next week.
As for me...baby steps. Lung capacity is the issue now...trying to get it back. I can feel it getting better...but when I try to take advantage of it the coughing starts. I have to keep reminding myself about those baby steps.
It just hit me...probably too late. If your car hauler service is a double decker trailer, you might want to remove any radio antennas. It never entered my mind to do so when the Raunch Wagon was leaving. The antenna interfered with the upper deck. So, that's way all those new vehicles were delivered to dealerships with antennas in the trunk.
Only one will have an antenna...and it isn't but maybe 3inches taller than the top of the car...and that is the '88 Saleen...which is not as you are aware...stock height. But I may do that just to be safe...if I can find a tool to do it with...ALL of both mine and Bob's tools are in the truck trailers! These guys were packing machines! If you stood in one place too long YOU might get packed into one of the trailers!
If I have to I'll but a small crescent wrench and take it of with that. Thanks! :006:
