You just scared the mud out of me with your "Signing off...last post" message. I honestly thought this had something to do with your health and you were writing your obituary (not joking). Am so very glad I was wrong.

Remember we made each other a promise that we would fight to get well and still be around through 2010, so I'm giving you an update from my end. Things have begun to turn 'south' for me and I will be having my first procedure this coming Tuesday (1-5-10) at 7:45 am. Two weeks later I will have another procedure. As soon as I have sufficiently healed, the major surgery will be done and it will take approximately 3 months for me to recover.

March 25th is my birthday and I have set a goal to be finished with surgery and therapy and doing some serious fishing on that date.

No matter what we have to walk through to get to the better side of life, WE CAN MAKE IT. I'll pray for you and you pray for me.

Let me know how you are doing.
