So, Mick, you should take better care of yourself. As Catspaw intimated, it's time to throw that macho stuff out the window. I know that that big heart shines on these threads, but let it shine on you sometime.
So you're sick and you think you're strokin' out. Yeah, that's what ambulances are for. I'm sure Dave would have picked you up if you had only called down to 'Spaw's place. And now, you're headed for Cincinnati and you not only want to work, but you want to go out to the music while you are there.
Modern medecine works miracles, but you don't have to force them to be miracle workers. Slow down a bit! Come to the important realization that you can't do it all. You will live longer and less stressfully.
Seriously, Mick. I'm sorry you had that scare. I don't do sick very well either. I'll put you in my prayers.
Love,
Roger in Baltimore
