Robin Hospitalized

Since I have no other way to let all (my loving wife) Robin's "car folk friends" know what is going on, I write this post to let you all know that she was admitted to the Critical Care Unit at Mercy Hospital (Portland) on Sunday. She is still in the CCU, but we expect they will move her to a "regular" hospital room on Wednesday (6/5). In other words, she's gonna go from the penthouse to the low rent district.

It seems she is suffering from nearly the same thing that put me in the same CCU in January. I am still recuperating, but am running at about 85%.

Hope to see you folks once or twice this season.

Update - HotKarz for 2013

As you may have noticed, I have not been posting or updating HotKarz since September.  For those of you who may not already know, I have been in and out of the hospital several times since November with a relatively serious gastro problem. One of those times the doc said my condition was "'not survivable." He was obviously wrong. And another time they stuck me in ICU, and told me immediate surgey was necessary. But again they were wrong.

My doc says I am "stoic", but I told him that I'm still here only because God ain't through with me yet.

In any case, he expects me to be in recovery for several months (assuming there are no more relapses). I lost over 40 pounds in as many days, which has weakened me quite a bit.

What this means is that I will not be getting out and around, and my time must be devoted to doing those things I need to do in order to recoup my strength, so I will not be doing anything with HotKarz this year. First things first.

I hope y'all will undestand.

And a very special "Thank You" to Robert & Donna Sanborn (you know why).
