Hello ESavinon!

I got a little ding in my pocket yesterday. I get texts routinely during the day. This text was from Ed: "hi carl" This is the first that I heard from him since he was being preped for a ventilator 40 days ago. I was so happy to hear from him

It was the best message that I have received in a long time! I asked him how he was feeling. He said that is is back from a long "road trip". Ed is famous for his road trips to find SRT and Polk components. He said that he woke from a coma four days ago and he was still very foggy. He said that his neurological and brain functions were all okay. He said that he needed to learn to walk again. He lost 80 lbs. He is in good spirits. His work partner is working on getting him a tablet.

If you are interested in sending a get well card to Ed, PM me. I have his address.

He will need a lot of rehab. Ed has seven children.

Please consider contributing to his GoFundMe drive from us.

Thank you!
Carl

    I'm puzzled as to why he has to learn to walk again.

    I have a friend who was put into a coma for over a month as the result of a heart incident. He had to learn to walk again also. I was told the same thing about loss of core strength and muscle atrophy.
