Health Update

I reported to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital last Thursday for an operation to find out that I had a severe kidney infection. They postponed the operation and admitted me to diagnosis and treat the bacterial infection. After 3 days in Intensive Care and another few days in a regular room, they sent me home Tuesday for a few weeks to take antibiotics to knock out the infection. The operation will be rescheduled when they are sure the infection is gone.

While recouping for the next two weeks, I'll try to post a Blog entry or two if I feel up to it, so check back in a day or two.

  1. Pete, I wish you well and a speedy recovery. Thank you so much for having this blog. My past life in New Gretna has come alive through this site. I feel as though I'm revisiting 'Memom & Pepop' & 'Mom Mom' who lived across the street from each other on Route 9. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hurry back!

  2. Ditto to what Cindy wrote. Take all the time you need to heal, but know that your fans will be chomping at the bit for next installment!

  3. During Pete's hiatus I thought it might be fun to know where we all live now! I live in Enid, OK.

  4. Well, let's see. After NG, I lived in Middlesboro, KY, then Flint, Mich, then Mexico City, Mexico, then Guadalajara, Mexico, then Houston TX, now in the sticks about 50 miles east of Houston.
    Most of my cousins are still in the general area. One near Atlantic City and two near Philadelphia. Just me and my sisters have wandered away.
