To: Larry Coh~ From: Sent: Sun 1/27/2013 10:51:08 AM Subject: Boris Hi there Larry I am sure that you have spoken in great detail with Boris on his current condition and I want to try to be as helpful and supportive as I possibly can...please forgive me if this feels inappropriate. Boris have a personal advocate, other than Sam. I am not sure if he will cede his durable power of attorney for medical needs to me or not but I will try so that I can order medical equipment etc on his behalf. Hoping that you (and he!) might allow me to start pursuing (on his behalf) some of the disability- adapted tools that might enable him to have an improved quality of life during these next few weeks. Essentially (in addition to his positional challenges) he is for all practical purposes blind for the next 6-8 weeks. He is very independent as you know — but really needs us all to pitch in tight now. I have not spoken to him since surgery... Minimizing the unnecessary stress and getting him back to a routine and positive outlook = most important things. If not already completed — here is what I think might be very helpful — and I am not sure what part might be work-related so that you might engage and what part might be personal I will manage with Sam's help. First and foremost, having a daily routine and helping him feel like he is healing and participating at his max but in a ROUTINE and regular way: I. Order a medically appropriate bed for him (a massage table with the head support attachment) 2. See about Yeon or another designate working remotely from his "bedside" every morning from 9-5 (or whatever correct hours might be) — she can read emails, take dictation, make calls 3. Consider speaking to a disability consultant so that all available adaptive devices can be obtained EFTA_R1_00336468 EFTA01904524 4. Bring his (adapted) workspace home to him 5. Consider a twice daily nurse visit for personal and hygienic reasons 6. Acquire adaptive devices (laptop, workspace, etc) 7. Temporarily bring required office equipment to his home if not already there (wireless, fax?, chargers, etc) What do you think? I am home on Tuesday morning but online until then unless on a flight. Thank you... EFTA_R1_00336469 EFTA01904525
