[HFDlist] Mike Rosen Update

[Dchapin at holdenma.gov]

More information on Mike for those interested in visiting.
Room 21A. If you walk in the main entrance and turn right it's a few doors down. According to his daughter he likes to go out on the patio for fresh air. He has a monitor to make sure he doesn't try to leave on his own so you need to let the nurse's station know if you're going to the patio. Please use the words 'going to the back to sit on the patio' vs 'outside'. Apparently there are some 'slight' language barriers.

He has been in rehab at a few different places and is now currently at Fitchburg Gardens in Fitchburg. He is going through some issues with trying to get medications balanced out. Currently those meds are causing confusion and memory issues. He still has a long road ahead of him.

Myself and Rob Beer visited him when he was at a rehab facility in Sudbury and he was very happy to see familiar faces. His daughters only request was that visitors go before 5pm as he is very exhausted due to constant rehabilitation sessions.
