Hang in there Bob. it's those friends that mean a lot when nature
throws us a curve and she can sure think up a variety.

A bit over 15 months ago I was spending my time in a hospital bed when
I head a voice call my name, then another voice. I slowly worked my
way to the surface (some of those pills do that) and found five pilots
standing there. Someone asked how I was doing. I replied that I was
fine other than my left side didn't work, but they tell me it's all in
my head so not to worry.

The next time I surfaced I think there werer six from the local ham
club standing there. Later still I found a friend standing there
wearing a hospital gown. I don't remember what he was in for (some of
those pills do that, but so does age, or at least it gives me more
excuses) but I though he was worse off than I was.

So, here I am 15 months and many pain pills (needed after the PT or
physical therapy, known as "Pain and Torture" in the trade). I learned
how to walk again, I can again type over 60 words a minute, I can
stand balanced on my left foot although it still feels like it's half
asleep, and I even spent an hour and a half up on top of my tower
working on antennas last week (they didn't agree to make me sane).

These curve balls can really change a persons outlook on life though.
I realize we received different curves at least for the time being,
but if I can do it you should be able to breeze through this
inconvenience in short order. Just remember we're all out here pulling
for you.
