Jim Schwobel - Update - August 17, 2021
|
|
|
|
Jim Schwobel is resting comfortably, and being well fed, in the at Ascension Seton hospital on 38th street.
|
He plans to be there for at least a week so he can get some radiation treatments on his arm.
|
Jim is in good spirits and is bravely facing his tough situation with stage 4 cancer. He does not plan to get chemotherapy, but his doctor has told him that they may try an new, different sort of treatment that may help him.
|
The doctor has also updated Jim's prognosis and now believes that he may be able to hang there for approximately four to eight months.
|
He has been working hard putting together all the details of his own wake. There is already a big line-up of musicians, pétanque demonstrations, different bands, and other performers. He has even already picked out the playlist of songs he wants people to play.
|
The big idea is that everyone can gather at the Browning hangar for the event. At least he hasn't set a date yet!
|
Now that he has settled into his routine, Jim says that he is eager to have visitors.
|
He has to go out to another facility every day around 1PM to 2PM to get his radiation treatments, so that is something visitors need to work around.
|
Jim can get phone calls, emails and texts, but if you write to him, please don't expect him to write a long reply since he has to type on his phone with just one hand.
|
Calling is probably the best way to coordinate a visit. The room has three chairs but there is room for up to six people.
|
Everyone should feel welcome to use the Austin Pétanque Group on Signal if they want to try and coordinate a group visit.
|
Room 722
Ascension Seton hospital on 38th street.
Not available from 1PM to 2PM.
