Bob, I wish I had something more definitive, but Bill and I agreed that I'd wait for his call, and that hasn't happened yet. The poor guy and his son are commuting between Waltham and Boston, god knows how many times a day.

Late this afternoon, I received a call from Rosalie's husband, Bill. He said Rosalie was moved, a couple of day ago, from ICU to a regular room. The three heart procedures have encountered no complications, and she's proceeding as expected on that front. She does have an inflamed pancreas, which is uncomfortable but apparently not near the unbearable state. I said to Bill, "But at least there's no malignancy, right?" He answered, "Well they tell you a lot of things and they're still looking into it."

He gave me Rosalie's direct phone number, and he said she's perfectly fine to take phone calls, so I immediately called her and spoke with her for the first time ever. She seemed really happy to get get the call, and she sounded strong and even a little feisty. We had a few laughs, and only now does it dawn on me that we never mentioned the Celtics once. Probably just as well, as my mission was to cheer her up.

After about six or seven minutes, I said, "Rosalie, let me ask you something. I have your phone number. Would you rather that I post it on the board or not? She immediately said, "Post it." I said, "With all the Rosalie fanatics on the board, you're likely to be inundated with phone calls." She responded, "Good. Let them call. I'd really love to talk with everyone." I said, "One good thing is that, if you could quickly arrange a 900 number, you could probably make some serious money." She really laughed at that one. It's great to hear her laugh. She said she wasn't worried about anything but just wants to get rid of the inflammation.

So here's the number. She didn't impose any restrictions. But it's not a bad idea to ask if you called at a good time to make sure she's not in the middle of some procedure or consultation. Also, unless you specifically make an arrange with her to call back, you might want to call just once in the next few days to make sure as many as possible can get through to her. And daytime calls should probably take precedence.

Her direct number is: 1-617-724-4863.

I'm traveling right now, but I'll stay on the case because I can count on Bill to update me with any important news.

Have fun with Rosalie. She's a delight to talk with.

Sam

Thanks for the update Sam, great news.

I'll be calling Ros tomorrow!

Thanks Sam you are the best!!!!

Pete,

OK, I took Rosalie up on her challenge and called her just now. Thank you for the reminder/gentle shove.

Everyone should give her a call! Rosalie is amazing; she's sounding great!

Regards

To All:

I just spoke with Rosalie and she seemed in good spirits. She seemed hopeful for a discharge in a few days. It was wonderful being able to converse with such a special person. God watch over you, Rosalie.
