The Welfare of the Grand Poobah (Gary G.)

It's good to know he's doing ok.

IIRC Gary's address is in the Lake Geneva phone book (which is viewable online) though he may not appreciate getting fan mail that way. :\

Nonsense--go ahead and mail him cards and letters. If he didn't want to be listed he wouldn't be in the book.

Showing up might be another matter--you might get shot.

Francisca, if worst comes to worst, we can pass the card on to Eric, as he's a Wisconsonite and everyone knows that that state is so small everyone knows everyone within at most one degree of separation.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I also figure that 1 card from a bunch of us would be preferable to him rather than a big gunny sack.

Showing up might be another matter--you might get shot.

The thought never crossed my mind. A letter is one thing, knocking on his door would be another.

Truly, you are from Illi-noise

Posted: Thu Jun 24, 2004 5:29 pm Post subject: An update on Gary Gygax's health
Gary Gygax has asked that the following be posted here and at the other sites he frequents:

Just a fast note to say that after a long week of being very ill from the warfarin medication I was taking for high blood pressure and to prevent another stroke, I had a mild heart attack, was taken by EMS to hospital a week ago last Wednesday, ended up in St. Luke's in Milwaukee--excellent heart hospital.

I would be there still, but I refused an angiogram-plasty for reasons of my own so was discharged yesterday noon.

Have not had a cig in over a week, and plan not to ever again...unless given a "short time to live" diagnosis in the future. Have lost about 25 pounds since mid-April.

That's all I care to discuss in reagrds this matter. I feel quite well now, taking many kinds of pills, and am sort of weak from all that has happened. Will begin a mild exercise program soon.

Good to be home and back online after a couple of weeks away--albeit here for short periods only for a while.

Should be able to make an appearance at Milwaukee Gamefest

Regards,
Gary
