Sorry for being ignorant is the fact you have not been cleared to Walter Reed because of security or is because of your illness?
Don't wish to appear nosey but I was just interested.
Cardiologists haven't cleared me to go the Hospital. There are some strange things being brought back from the Middle East, and their concern is that their might as yet be another undiscovered micro-organism of some sort and in my greatly weakend shape, don't want me exposed to it.
I'm chafing at the bit to get back to visiting, and don't for one minute think that I'd ever contract something while visiting our wounded warrior heroes. But I dare not go against any restrictions my Docs have placed on me. I know they mean well and only have my health as their concern.
Sorry I didn't make that clearer.
