[Dialogue] Terry Wright in Hospice care

[jim rippey]

Colleague T.C. (Terry) Wright went into Hospice care in Denver Friday night.  He became ill at home last weekend and was taken to an emergency room Monday.  Subsequent tests revealed multiple cancers and his doctors felt additional chemo wasn't a good option.  They urged he go into Hospice care.  After talking with a Hospice representative, he was transferred there later Friday afternoon.

My wife, Barbara, is one of his sisters.  She and I talked with him by phone this afternoon and he said he would like me to notify colleagues.  (I don't have access to the OE listserve.)  Relatives and close friends in Denver are supportive.

Terry is mobile, but having trouble keeping food down.  And, of course, he's discouraged.  He is at:

Hospice of St. John's, Rm 121A, 1320 Everett Crt, Lakewood, CO  80215.   Phone 303-232-7900

He is hoping to establish an internet connection.  If he does, he or I will post that.  If not, Denver colleagues or I will post further information as appropriate.
