Dear GL Fan for 30+ Years (me, too)
Gord suffered some sort of abdominal hemorrhaging from an aneurysm (kind unknown to us: renal or possibly aortic). He was in ICU for several months and a step-down unit for additional recovery for about another month, and released home in mid-December. It was very touch-and-go for a while, apparently, with the usual ups and downs that accompany critical illness, but he's now doing well on a day to day basis, with no known problems handling what are known in the health trade as activities of daily living. However he will not be touring this year. We heard indirectly that he's recently had planned follow-up surgery (possibly to release post-surgical adhesions - that's pure speculation) and his recovery continues on course. We all would LOVE some official word from his office or manager - something, anything - but will have to make do with tea leaves and ouija board readings for now <g>.
