A KENT TEMPLIEN VISIT
There is a great opportunity for our members to support Kent Templien following his serious injury. You are doubtless aware of his recent accident in Lincoln while unloading an ATV from his truck.
I had a delightful dinner with Kent at his rehab clinic last Saturday. He was smiling warmly, but flat on his back, and unable to move except for slight motions of his right hand and legs. Two orderlies wrapped him in a sling and then lifted him with a floor mounted crane into a motorized chair. I followed Kent down a short hallway where we were served a light dinner. Ken was spoon-fed by a kind and very attentive young staff member.
Kent expressed repeated gratitude that his injury was not worse than it was. He was resilient and in good spirits, vowing to be walking again in one month. He is especially proud of the daily attention offered by the expert spinal injury physician attached to his case. His wife is managing to continue his private business responsibilities and to keep the operation running.
I believe Kent would welcome Rotarian visitors at Quality Life Inc. (QLI), 6404 N 70th Plaza. House 6, Room 7. I suggest you call in advance because he has extensive therapy appointments on Tuesday and Thursday. QLI phone is 402-573-3700.
