Joe Haldeman Discharged from Hospital

Joe Haldeman was released from a hospital in Cincinnati on November 10th, 2009. Haldeman writes: "It's beyond wonderful to be rid of the hospital room, the IV drips, the wretched immobility. Not to mention the scorns that a meritorious patient from th'unworthy take. The condo that Joel Zakem has graciously loaned us is comfortable as can be, and has a nice woodsy view out back. Speaking of woods, I'm not out of them, quite. I get tired walking across a room (but I can do it, without the walker). I have the clumsy ileostomy bag for another six months or so, and some pretty serious surgery in store then, when they reattach my large intestine."
