From his wife, Laurie:A Christopher Green update:
Since I cannot drive due to my broken leg, I have been trying to talk to Chris on the phone. Last night we spoke several times during the Buckeyes game. It was almost like being together.
He told me he heard he has at least two months more left in the hospital.I figured as much as he has bounced back and forth between the ICU and Step down unit. Let's all hope and pray he stays where he is in room 6 on Unit 51 in J building of the Cleveland Clinic.
Tomorrow, friends have an appointment at the clinic and are taking me. They will come visit Chris afterwards. Normally, I would have to go home with them. I spoke to the social worker last week, and tomorrow she's bringing me taxi cab vouchers. So, I can stay as long as I want, take a cab home and only have to pay the tip! Yahoo! So, if you can give me a ride down, i do not need one back! Please think about it.
One more thing. I was told by the doc I can use my bad leg! I can do so much more.
Here are Two shots of Chris on his birthday wearing his Buckeyes hat and Spiderman glasses. He's talking now!
The pictures are now posted; see them below! Posts #14 and #16.

(149,525 posts)I asked Laurie to email me the files and when she does, I'll post them.
It's a riot! He looks happy.

Great to hear that Chris is doing so well--thanks for the update! And good to hear Laurie is doing better also!

(149,525 posts)It's frustrating.
Otherwise, yes, the news is very good!

(63,889 posts)cumbersome, but doable. I upload out of My Pictures by going to tinypic and upload each one individually to the specific option of a message board, which is what DU is. Then I copy the upload as designated and paste it into the message on DU. The pic appears in my preview and I know I am good to go...I've been doing this since I started the Friday AFternoon Challenge way back in 2010!

Best wishes for your recovery, and I hope you're back here soon.
My youngest would love this! She's a huge spiderman fan.

(12,155 posts)Love the Spiderman specs. I couldn't imagine what they looked like and did not want to see them until they were on Chris. The pic with the cap is awesome- kind of scary- ready for Halloween.
Does Chris have access to DU? I sure miss his take on stuff.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,525 posts)He does have his laptop, but his wife told me he's not using it at the moment. I miss his take on things too; he always had intelligent things to say.

Also, Laurie is a saint!

I look forward to his return too!
