These bodies of ours seem to be a-gittin' plumb wore out on us!

I've got a foot that keeps festering from an old dose of rice paddy rot picked up over in Korea in '68 and the past couple of days have been going to St. Mary's in Lewiston to get checked out for a re-occuring hernia and to have a couple of blood clots in my leg checked out by ultrasound prepatory to surgery.

Compared to what Naem's goin' through though, it ain't all that big a deal .

If the prayers of a reprobate old Yankee amount to anything, we've got 'em up for ye, Matey!

Keep us posted.
