RETIREES COLUMN-
(Ret.) Sgt. Kevin C. Pleasants
Hi
everyone,
Well it's the end of January, I’m finally out if the
hospital and into rehab out in Riverhead, just four blocks
from my new condo. I've only been in it 10 days since
September. I've been in the hospital somewhere around 180
days. Too bad I couldn't swap 'em for Marriott Rewards
points or my American Airlines frequent flyer points.
I'm presently at the Riverhead health care center, 1124
Woodcrest Ave 11901. I've been doing very strenuous
physical therapy to get my atrophied legs to walk again. I’m
hoping I will be home by the time you get this issue in the
mail. Today
was the absolute best day I've had since last August 15 when I
started this clusterxxxx. I started out by donating money to
earthquake relief fund in Haiti, had a super two hour workout
in PT followed by a surprise visit from my daughter Kelly.
You
may call me on my cell at 516 318 0880 or my NEW email
address:
Kevinpleasants1@verizon.net.
Congrats are in order to Chief of Dept. Karen O'Callaghan on
the announcement of her retirement about the same time frame
as Conan O'Brian on the”Tonight Show”. Only kidding
Ka. Tuff decision. Our loss and Hofstra’s gain.
Congrats also in order to Edward Mangano, our new County
Executive. A new fresh start is long overdue. Let's hope we
all can play nice in the sandbox together Good luck and
Godspeed Mr. Mangano. Let's also remember to say our prayers
for the Haitian people in their tremendous time of need and
also all our first responders from NYPD and FDNY and our
troops fighting overseas.
I would like to thank all of you by name but this article
would be ten more pages. Honorable Mention goes to ret. Lt
Mike DiLena who single-handedly kept me and my wife Lynn from
going cuckoo. Caryn Pfeifer our office manager and SOA
secretary for the many phone calls to cheer me up when I was
down. I can't ever forget how much I cried the last six
months. Thank you both, I love you both. And lastly my family
and my beautiful wife Lynn for being the backbone that held
everything together while the walls were coming down, I love
you baby.
Oopps, the nurse is coming, gotta go!
I'm
hoping to be home by the middle of February and seeing all
of you and thank you for the thousands of prayers, cards,
e-mails, phone calls and hospital visits. You have no idea
what it's like to be part of this wonderful police family! God
bless each and every one of you.
Love
you all, Kev
Kevin Pleasants,
Trustee - Retired Members -
