He was admitted to Northam Hospital last week with a fractured T8 vertebra, after a similar problem with his T7 a couple of years back.
He is once again in constant pain while also struggling with his breathing, needing the constant accompaniment of an oxygen concentrator.
He is unable to move further within his bed.
He did not sound well during our conversation today, with regular pauses for air.
It is likely Keith will remain in hospital for quite some time given the fractured vertebra added to his other problems.
He did not mention if he has phone access to the forum, and during our visits with him he used only his laptop, so I assume not.
Northam Hospital has but one ward, so if members are of a mind to send him a card, it will definitely reach him.
I’m sure we all wish him well and a speedy recovery, no matter how long it takes.
