David Schaef update: (12/05/23)

I spoke with David yesterday. He had just arrived at the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Erie.

There are still a couple of issues to resolve, and David is optimistic that Encompass has the skills. We didn't speak much of medicine and health, most of the conversation was about our subscribers and the Community News newspaper.

I was much encouraged by the tone of his voice and the idea he was interested in talking about Community News. So, he’s at that, “I want to get back to work” stage of healing.

He talked about his subscribers and a letter he is composing for them. He talked about how to proceed with the newspaper when he gets home.

He said he hopes to be home in 2 weeks.

Thank You all for your Love and Prayers and Well Wishes.

Update on David Schaef (11/30/23): I was able to speak with David this afternoon. He sounds good over the phone; his voice is strong and normal. He tells me he will be moved to another “rehab Hospital” in a day or so. The move is a good indication he is recovering. Going from “acute rehab” to “normal rehab.”

He expects to be in normal rehab for two weeks or so.
He doesn’t have, and from talking to him, he isn’t ready to have his laptop, so he hasn’t seen the beautiful “Well Wishes” and Prayers so many of you have been leaving for him on Facebook. I told him about them. Please keep them coming. They’re working!

Thank You
Tom Deighton
