Pat is recovering

I am late on getting the word out about this but I found out Pat had a mild stroke about 3 weeks ago. I was trying to track him down because WMLB wanted him to come back for another on air visit. He instead had been in the hospital after some bleeding in his brain - a cerebral hemorrhage - that they caught relatively early after he'd been feeling dizzy. He was in Piedmont intensive care briefly, and then went to an out patient facility for therapy to get his balance back to walk without a walker.

I visited him last week and he was sharp and funny as usual, but a bit slowed down. He was to have been back home by this weekend.

He's lucky; what he had can often be a very bad situation.
