No move yet. Still at Marin General.
Waiting for an available bed at UCSF. All is well. Having a typical day. ???
Wed 9/23 Update
I’m moving to UCSF in the city most likely tomorrow, Thurs.
I don’t have timing details yet; there’s a lot of coordination to be done. But timeframe is tomorrow.
My case has been passed around USCF & Stanford because my spine fusion surgery looks textbook good and my recovery is not progressing like they expect given my general health and age.
At UCSF, as best I can layman explain, they’re going to take a look at my spine with a different technology to see if blood vessel flow is inhibited and other things you wouldn’t see in the 7+ hours of MRI time I’ve thus far banked.
SO, I’ll be back in SF. The visitation schedule we’re going to have to put on hold until we get a grip on what life will be like there.
It’s the UCSF Parnassus Main Campus.
Literally next to Kezar Stadium where GGTC has track practice.
All good news!
The sun now sets on my stay and Marin General Hospital.

9/19 Update
Good Morning Team Rob. Physical therapy is generally in the mornings. Mission critical his body rests and heals. Text Rob before visiting please, so he can manage visits with medical care. This will be a long protracted process. We are in back to back sprints of this year long marathon. Please keep Rob in your highest thoughts and prayers for continued strength and healing. Next step will be into a facility to wait for clavicle healing sometime next week, then acute rehab…but this can change. Rob will know where and when he is moving within Marin General or to the next facility.
Update 9/19 Sat
Not a long update today.
Visit Schedule: http://bit.ly/RobBVisitSchedulev2
The past few days have been really exhausting with Physical Therapy .. and that’s a great thing. As you can see, Chloe is quite exhausted too.
Everyone’s been great about checking in prior and/or me canceling their visit if necessary. I could have a crappy morning but a good afternoon energetically. it just depends on the events of the day.
New room = 4124 as of yesterday.
still working on the hurdles of feeling in my legs and pooping regularly. it’s quite a charmed life, if i do say so. a good fart gets everyone excited. i’m so happy to have found a place where i fit in so well.
