Answer 1

In February, 2006, Buchwald checked himself into in a Washington, D.C. area hospice. Although his kidneys were failing, he elected to forego kidney dialysis, saying that he wished to finish his days his way and to avoid end-of-life ailments that befall so many elderly individuals. However, his health did not fail as rapidly as he expected.

In June, 2006, Buchwald was again interviewed by Diane Rehm after leaving the hospice. He reports that his kidney is working and that he "blesses him every morning. Some people bless their hearts, I bless my kidney." He reported he was looking forward to getting a new leg and visiting Martha's Vineyard.

In July, 2006, Buchwald returned to his summer home on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, a place he never expected to see again. While there, he is working on a book to be called, Too Soon to Say Goodbye, about the five months he spent in the hospice. Eulogies that were prepared by his notable friends and colleagues, but were never delivered, will be included in the book.

Answer 2

I just saw his picture in the newspaper. He is living, not in the hospice, on Martha's Vineyard. He didn't look great but he is alive and smiling.

Answer 3

he is out of the hospital and writing about the experience
