From an e-mail:

12/12/06 5:00 a.m. is the last accessible message. We haven't been able to
access the NG's since we got back from the Mayo Tuesday.

Our ISP insists they don't know jack shit about anything and they're very
upstanding in stating that it's not their problem.

At any rate, if you would, tell everyone we're still alive and well in
Zephyrhills. Email is still fully functional BTW. (DUH!)

Wish them all a Merry Christmas from both of us as well. (If yer feelin'
lazy just copy and paste this whole dang thing)

Zephyrhills (Luv ya man) Florida


I was feelin' lazy. ;-)

That, she does. If you get in touch with either, please send
my best thoughts on to them.

Thanks! :-)

I'll have to e-mail them and suggest Google groups accounts for them,
but they don't do binaries. <sigh> But, it's better than nothing for the
time being.

LOL, thanks, Nick. I guess our ISP got something right because we were
"granted" access this morning to ABF, at least. It's amazing how cut off
you feel when you can't read Usenet. :~)

For those of you wondering, I'm dealing. I'm still in quite a bit of pain
and I've been told that I'm developing necrosis in the area of
reconstruction. (Some of the tissue didn't take and is dying.) I'm
supposed to do another follow up in a couple of weeks and start radiation
therapy. After healing from the radiation, I'll go through a period of more
testing to make sure they got the whole tumor, because this kind of sarcoma
keeps recurring. (It's a nasty little bugger.) In any case, I'm still
looking forward (?) to a couple of more reconstructive surgeries. My
biggest complaint is nerve damage from my pelvis up to my sternum - it's all
numb - and muscle spasms. Well, having ribs cut out doesn't feel good
either. :~)

Hope everyone else is fine and if we're lacking a little bit in the
communications department, you guys know why. For gruesome pix and updates,
check out the link in my sig.

I love ". . . in any direction"

Reminds me of when I invited my daughter to dinner with some of the crew on
"Facts of Life", some 20 years ago. She asked who was going. When I named
one person, she asked, "Dad. Is he that distinguished looking, unpleasant
gentleman?" When I laughingly answered in the affirmative, she said, "I'm
sorry, dad. I wont be able to make it. I just remembered that I have
anything else to do."

I took a looksee at her "gruesome" pic and it does not look bad at all.
:-) As fine as that is and as well as it appears to be healing, that
scar should be nearly invisible in about 5 years. The surgeon did a good
job closing.

I've seen much worse.
