Stanford got out of the hospital two days ago, a little less than six

weeks after he went in. Hooray!

His sister Arilda drove down to Cheyenne to pick him up in her

Suburban (with a mattress laid down so he doesn't have to sit up),

while his son Daniel ferried Stanford's wheelchair home in the pickup.

When I spoke to him today, Stan was extremely excited to get out of

the hospital, and even more excited to have his first

cigarette.

He'll be in bed for a week at least to heal from his bedsore...
