That is good news! Hope he takes advice of his doctors and therapists about his recovery and not try to get ahead of things and cause more injury. It takes time.

🛞🛞🛞🛞 Steve Jelf's In The Windy City! 🏙🏙🏙🏙

Just talked to Steve in his new placement.
It was a long, boring ride in the back of an ambo. All he could see was a bit out the back window.

But! He's there and all settled into his own room on the 24th floor with a westerly view of the city.
So now that he's finally there and working as hard as he can to get his strength back, let's continue to send him cards, etc. and show our support! (A jar of kimchi would be welcomed, as I cannot locate any where I live!

)

His address is:
Shirley Ryan Ability Lab
355 E. Erie Street
Chicago IL 60611
Patient Room 2407 "

I do not know for certain that he is still there, however I imagine he should be.

Sent Steve a Care package of his favorite snacks to the Rehab address Today
Hope they get to him.....

Somehow I got that right on FB, and wrong here. Thank you for the correction.

Writing from the 24th floor, overlooking Lake Michigan in Chicago, my typing on a strange computer is none too spry. I will struggle to report that I am getting along well enough for an old man whose heroes are all obsolete. More later after I learn more.

You did well on the unfamiliar computer. I know everything is out of place and reaching the keys is much more difficult. I had trouble on one without going through what you have. It's so nice to hear from you.

Welcome back Steve, do you get the feeling that you were missed the past few weeks?

Post by **Jeff5015** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:36 am

Welcome back, Steve. I've been in the background watching all your progress.
My son had similar injuries but he's only 30 and recovering well.

Post by **WayneJ** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 3:47 am

Hey Steve:
We are practically neighbors. I live about 40 miles straight west of where you are. I hope to visit you in person. I got a new knee Oct. 9, and it hasn't run in yet. In a week or two I hope to take the train into the city for a visit. A number of folks from The Midwest Chapter of MTFCI are interested in meeting you in person as well.

Best Wishes.

His typing may not be spry, but he's still quite the guy! (Now I'll stop with the rhyme before my face hits a pie!!)

Welcome back, Steve!!

Steve! I'm so happy to hear from you and to know that you are doing well.
We certainly missed you and we're hoping for a full recovery!

Slow and steady wins the race.

So glad you are recovering nicely Steve. We have not met, but one day we will I’m quite sure. It is amazing what the power of prayer can do. Keep up the great work!
