April 30th, 2008 • 9:18 pmKing’s Recovering Nicely
This afternoon, I paid King a hospital visit. Two of his colleagues, Masoud (I hope I’m spelling that right) & Melanie, were already there. King sounded significantly stronger this afternoon than he did last night. Not surprisingly, King was trying to find out everything that was happening at the office when he should’ve been focusing solely on recovering from surgery.
The good news is that Melanie wasn’t having anything of that. She was making sure that King didn’t have to owrry about putting together any tests, that he’d only have to review the tests that she’s putting together for him.
When Masoud and Melanie left, I stayed to visit with King a little while longer. I’m confident of King’s recovery because the minute it was just the two of us, he was asking what type of effect Jeremiah Wright was having on Barack Obama. I detected an immediate and positive change in King’s disposition. I told him that Wright was killing Obama and that Obama only had himself to blame for it. I said that Obama could say whatever he wanted but he wouldn’t get a second ‘Sister Souljah’ moment.
He was running a bit of a fever at 3:45 (99.9) but that had disappeared this evening when I called again. It’s now at a conventional 98.2 now. He’s getting out for his walks, which is important in his recovery. He did 3 “laps” today, which the doctor and nurses were very pleased with.
Shortly after King’s wife Barb arrived, I left, mostly because I’d already been there almost 2 hours. (That isn’t good when you’re parked in a 90 minute maximum parking spot.)
Lord willing, I’m planning on going back up there Thursday sometime. I’ll keep you posted as I learn more. One last thing: Barb and King both wanted to tell everyone that they really appreciate the outpourring of support for their family from the MOBsters.
