I second that had an aunt that was wheelchaired after a massive stroke and was back on her feet within a year wishing you the best and hopefully a speedy recovery. If I were closer I'd offer to take some gear off your hands I'm sure others here will step up and help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She recovered and only has some vision problems. There is hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 On 12/8/2021 at 2:05 PM, opusk2k9 said: Latest Gil update: Gil is still hospitalized. He is eating normally and is off oxygen, but is still paralyzed on his left side. Mentally he is pretty good, but there are some gaps and things he is confused about. He will be going to a rehab facility soon and will be there for three to four months. What happens after that depends on how much progress he makes during rehab, but it is unlikely that he will be able to live on his own. A guy I knew had a stroke, and he said it is important to comply with therapy 100%, no matter how dumb or monotonous many of the exercises can seem. Good luck, Gil! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I spoke with Gil Thursday and just finished a trip to Chicago to pick up some things. Thankfully Joe helped me load and was nice enough to drive to the suburbs and help me unload as well. I was able to grab the McIntosh gear, walnut Forte, and (3) walnut Belles. Along with several woofers crossovers, etc. I will discuss with Gil how to proceed and what to sell. I told Gil I can hold onto some of this stuff for a while until he figures out where he will be living after rehab. I wasn't able to fit the homemade La Scala bass bins, the homemade k-horn/jubilee style bass bins, or the wooden horns. The khorn/jubilee style do not need corners. There were also some homemade risers for the Forte ~12" tall. If you are interested and able to pick these up this weekend downtown Chicago please PM ASAP. They will be clearing out the apartment Monday. Again, if you wish to contact Gil, please PM me. He would love to hear from people. He trying to change facilities, but Joe will keep me updated if his contact info changes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusk2k9 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I spoke to Gil yesterday, his cell phone still isn't working yet. I'm sure he would be happy to hear from forum members. Please let me know if you want his contact info. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I spoke with Gil again today. He would really love to hear from the Forum. It doesn't sound like he is making much progress. No luck yet on getting his cell phone reactivated. Please try to reach out every once in a while and brighten his day. The number is 773-561-2040. There is one shared wireless phone , so it sometimes takes two or three tries to get Gil on the phone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusk2k9 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Gil now has a new cell phone, so you don't have to call the main line anymore: Please contact me for the number. It is not a smartphone. He also has a laptop, but it is hard for him to use. I'm sure he would love to hear from people. Thank you. Brandon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Gil update: I was finally able to talk to Gil. He is doing some rehab. He is doing exercises and using a walker. He hopes to get transferred to another facility. He said he will try to log onto the forum this weekend. I'm sure he would love to hear from forum members. Hopefully, his cell phone is working if you try to call. He still has hopes to move into an apartment and start working again at some point. If he can get into an apartment, he would like to have the Belles. He is going to talk to his brother in law about it. So, at the moment I am holding on to his stuff for a while longer. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
