Update on Doyle

T.D. is resting, sort of, at the Markle Health Care. He is improving, both in condition and demeanor, but the antibiotic treatments are continuing. The latest Dr. is convinced this infection was widespread, caused by the kidney stone, resulted in the swollen knee, could have caused a lot of worse problems. But he is improving, although Carol Jean has her warbonnet on again because the health care (if you can call it that) is pretty lax in giving him his medication on time, and the food is lousy. She's been on the phone nearly every day this week, reading the riot act to the administrator, the head nurse, and the dietician. Connie also called them and read (or, as I understand it, yelled) the riot act about the quality of the food.

We've talked about moving him to Bluffton, but it's convenient for him to be in Markle as his regular physician stops in to see him at least once a week, and it's easy for Carol to get him clean clothes and other things from his apartment.

He'll be at the health care at least thru March, if anyone wants to send him cards or letters. The address is Room 300, Markle Health Care, 170 N. Tracy, MarkleIN 46770.
