At this point we still thought it was a Grade 3 or 4 astrocytoma.

Hello Everyone,
John is continuing his speedy recovery. He was moved out of ICU this afternoon to one of the wards.
He is in the Jim Pattison Building (that's the new big tower), on Ward 6B, Room 6640. He has a phone in his room, and he'd be happy to take calls at 604-875-5400, ext 60306. Also, visiting hours are from 11am to 9pm, for anyone who would like to visit.
He's been reading Climbing magazines, playing/working on his laptop (offline of course), and he wanders down the hall on his own to refill his water cup with ice water. He's also been quizzing some of the nurses with various, very detailed and hypothetical, trivial pursuit type medical questions...causing most of them to say "I've never been asked that before, I'll have to look that up and get back to you." :)
We're expecting that they'll discharge John on Thursday morning. So just 1 more night before he's back home.
