           	| I just talked with Jack.  He fell on his stairs down to the laundry and cracked 3 ribs and a bone in his neck.  Surgery tomorrow, home next week.  (Bad timing for a musician!).  He's in good spirits and is confident of a good outcome.  He'll have to wear one of those big "leis" for neck support.  Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

                      | You can email Jack through Harborview's website:  link 
 This URL will take you to their Email-a-Patient page.  He's admitted under the name John Aldrich.  I don't know his room number, but the form doesn't seem to need that information.

 Get better soon. Hopefully you can still cradle a guitar.

                      | Hey Jack - 
 My dog had to wear one of those collars once. Kept him from licking his, ummm...
 
 I guess you won't be able to, either.
  
 Get better soon.

                      | I checked in with Harborview.  Jack came through the procedure fine.  Resting and mending. |

                      | Jack - please feel better.  I know you won't be able to sleep in the hospital.  They will wake you up to see if you want a sleeping pill.  And the red jello on that lunch tray does indeed leave permanent stains. 
 You helped so much to brigthen my day during my recover, I surely wish the same for you.  Your kind, big, heart will aid so much in your recovery.

                      | I talked to Jack this morning.  He's doing well considering that he had 2 vertebrae fused.  He's off the ventilator and is feeling a bit ornery, a good thing. |
