A Bit of a Setback this week . . .

With a return of the infection, I have been back at NHRMC for a week now.  Today, they inserted a PICC line for the continuing IV antibiotics.  So I should be returning to Silver Stream Rehab tomorrow.

On Robin Williams:

How can such a talent so great be taken away by a depression so deep, when those around him lost vigilance ???

I am saddened that because he held all our hands, we were not holding his.

and NO, NO, NO, . . . Robin Williams is NOT in a better place.

Williams was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m., it said.
Williams was last seen alive at his home, where he lives with his wife, at about 10 p.m. Sunday, the sheriff's statement said.
"An investigation into the cause, manner and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff's Office," the sheriff's statement said.  "Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made."
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, the sheriff said.
Williams made at least two trips to rehab for drug treatment, including a visit this summer, and he underwent heart surgery in 2009.

Williams, born in Chicago on July 21, 1951, studied theater at Juilliard School before taking his stand up act to nightclubs. 

He proved his dramatic acting skills in "Good Will Hunting," a 1997 film that earned him a best supporting actor Oscar.

His memorable movies over the past three decades includes "Good Morning, Vietnam," "Dead Poets Society," "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "The Birdcage."
