Subject:      Scott Foss - an update
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

I visited Scott for a few hours today in Englewood Colorado, at the
Swedish Medical Hospital.
I was shocked and deeply saddened by what he has been through, and
gleaned a more complete story from chatting with him. He has apparently
been in several hospitals since the accident, which happened in August
2016. The basics are that he tripped over something on his deck, fell
over the railing and onto uneven lava rock ten feet below. He laid there
for over three days before someone found him, slipping in and out of
consciousness. Initially he was paralyzed but the doctors have been
gradually working on his many problems, and he's slowly feeling more and
more of his limbs. He's still flat on his back in a hospital bed, unable
to move much at all or to eat on his own. There are additional surgeries
coming soon followed by months of rehab and wheelchair time. Scott has
really been through the proverbial ringer, and insurance sounds like
it's about to run out. I would urge anyone who knows Scott well to make
a point to visit, or at least send him a postcard. He is in room 9270.
If you need more details feel free to email me directly.
