Macojoe Update

I thought some of you would like to know how Macojoe is doing. Following his kidney transplant, he had a fall and broke his hip. He's been in Borne Manor Nursing Facility for rehab since the corrective surgery. He is due to go home next Friday as long as he keeps progressing with his therapy. They have also been transporting him every week to Tufts to have his kidney function tests done. That's going very well too.
I had some free time today so I took a ride to pay him a visit.
He wanted me to pass on this message.

good to hear he is doing well with his transplant. Heal up Joe so you can get home.

Hey Gup. Joe said he hasn't responded because he has trouble connecting his phone to the nursing home wifi. I tried to figure it out myself. The phone shows it is connected, but it will not bring you to any websites or even a browser. I don't know. He will probably contact folks when he gets home.
