Update via email, direct from Bart:
I received a voice message from Alec which I’m currently transcribing (and the recording itself will find its way to you as well) — I’ll send a message with the transcription and the URL to the mp3 once I’ve put it online.
In brief: Alec’s not going to be moved before friday (early next week is more likely), the surgery to set his leg will be tomorrow, and he’s doing reasonably well (though there still is some concern about his kidneys).
More soon.
