He speaks!
I just had the last call of the day...errrr, night... from a tired on-site reporter, accompanied by Ernie and Earnest from the Old Farts Club. They're all a bit punchy by now -- it's been a long day for them -- but they had good news!
Tim is (or was!) awake -- foggy, but awake -- and talking, though he won't remember any of it tomorrow. Brian was particularly happy to report that they saw him on the gurney as he was wheeled from the recovery room, and when one of the Old Farts said something smart-alecky as Tim went by, Tim-- through the drugs -- opened his eyes and said, "Bite me!" Yes sir, that's our Tim!
Once settled in his new hospital room, Tim insisted that the guys check under the bed covers to admire his flat belly. (The mothers among us will understand that completely!) When some discomfort appeared to be setting in, the guys took that as their cue to leave him to the nurses, and they've gone back to the hotel to get some much-needed rest. Updates will resume tomorrow. Keep those prayers going. Tim has a long road ahead of him, and your good thoughts sustain him through all of this.

What a blessing to have you able to share Tim's condition in such a timely way. Prayers always keep flowing, but it is nice to know sooner, rather than later, that they are being answered. Good to hear that Tim has the energy and spirit to act as normal.

Glad you're doing well Tim. Ray
"Bite Me" indeed....yup, Tim's behaving normally. Glad to hear. And the show was "Dr. Jeckel & Mr. Hyde" in response to "This is the moment....name that show"
We love you Tim...from your NY family, Shelley, John, Kristofer & Courtney
Thinking of you, Tim! Glad things went well so far. Prayers are continuing for your rest and healing. See you the 22nd!
Love,
Stevie
