In Recovery
Barry is recovering in intensive care now and Jamie reports that he is talking and making jokes. All of his motor skills are good right down to his wiggling toes. Pam and Jamie were the first ones to see him and he immediately recognized them both and according to Jamie "he has no mental deficiencies that weren't there before."
He will have a CAT scan tonight and probably move out of intensive care tonight or tomorrow.
Pam asked that I extend their appreciation for all of the thoughts and prayers. They expect to be going home over the weekend. If you would like to send Barry a card or note, you can send it to his attention at the following address:
ATTN: Barry (insert last name)
c/o Neurology Department
Queen Elizabeth II Health Science Center
1796 Summer St.
Halifax, NS
B3H 3A7
No flowers, please.
They have access to a computer at the hospital and are able to read the comments posted on the blog, so you can continue to send your messages that way as well.

Barry, Pam, and family,
Eleanor and I are so pleased to hear of todays events, and we will continue our prayers for you all. Get well soon Barry, and please don't be upset at me for losing last week at cards on your money. Somehow they cheated and I just missed how they done it.
Bob and Eleanor.

This is the best news we've received since we heard you saved 5% on your car insurance! Glad to hear you are doing well and hope to have you back on the island soon.

I am so relieved and delighted that the surgery went so well. I hope you are all breathing a sigh of relief now that the worst is over... I know I am.
Barry, I think it is fair to say that your unfortunate struggle has given us all new perspective...and when I read Jamie's classic comments on the blog, that's when I knew everything will be just fine... and perhaps even better than ever.
Dianne, thank you for all the updates... very much appreciated.
Beth, in a time when you feel there is so little you can do to help... you did so much. Your idea to set up this blog was priceless... it bridged the communication gap for all of Barry's "fans" near and far. Great job.
Big kiss and hug, Barry and Pam. Looking forward to seeing you both very soon. Love Rachelle
Barry,

On another note , I just found out the good news from JMAC , you actually sved 5% on your car insurnace???
