Subject: RE: BS: Curmudgeon Fell -- On Way to Hospital
Well geez.............Sometimes I just hate to log on.........

I don't know about the vocal cord cancer thankfully, but its hard not to feel an "unfortunate" kinship with Tom. Serious heart and other cardiovascular problems with artificial valve replacement and ICD......Obvious, but little mentioned, COPD/emphysema problems.......yeah.............and Docs who at times are either blaming each other or having an inability to work together.............

I think I've got that last one back on track but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Glad they at least found the pneumonia even at this late date. Funny stuff though.....doesn't always present in the same way to everyone.   Seems they still got there early enough to where they can clear it prior to surgery..........LOL...I had reached the O2 deprivation point where I had no idea of what day, month, or even YEAR, it was and the only President I could recall was Nixon ferchrissakes.........

Right now the worst I got is a head cold (which I'm watching carefully) so I have plenty of extra good thoughts for both of you! You've both been through the wringer.......which is also called a "mangle" if I recall correstly.....seems more fitting........

Hang in...........Love you both.
