Oohh sorry to hear about your health, I pray that you'll pull through and can grace us with your presence for many years to come. If I was closer I would come around and help you polish the Benz, under your close supervision of course. You'll be pleased to know that I have fitted ceramic pads all round on my TE and the wheels are a lot cleaner now.

He is no spring chicken and I have not seen him since summer.

My absence since 2/22/13 has not been due to any actions, disputes or
anything else here so credit can be taken The fact is that I have been among the
missing because of a colossal health crisis that very nearly resulted in my
death. After 12 years my cancer has returned for which I am now under
re-treatment. I've had two surgeries, the second of which ended up causing a 
huge
problem and the first of two two week hospital stays (at Swedish First
Hill/Seattle) and both of which started as UTIs and progressed to near
septicemia. After the first one where I was declared cured and discharged to a 
two
week rehab center stay, one week later it all came back and I was admitted to
the ER with a 103.3 temp for which someone my age is a very big deal. I was
headed down the plughole but after being connected to everyline in the
building and being seen by a parade of specialists, after two more weeks I was
once again sent to the same rehab center for another two week stay. The most
awful thing about this adventure is that since 2/23 I have been cursed with an
indwelling catheter which has effectively ended my former life for the time
being. So, I've missed all the MBCA and PCA events   which I always attend.

But, there is a fix for this which is called a Suprapubic catheter (google
it) which will eliminate the urinary catheter and end the infections that
have made life hell for the last three months. But since I had some heart
damage during the last infection I am required to get a surgical clearance from
my Cardiologist first.

So. I overnighted last night in the hospital after the installallation of
the first of two stents to open up some blockages I didn't know I had. No
after effects at all except from lying on the table in a cold room for three
hours while wires etc where maneuvered around in my main pump and I feel quite
normal. The wrist entry was used instead of the groin entry which made
things easier for me.

When I finally logged on to check emails there were 742 in my inbox and
I've been deleting most of them but there are too many to delete all at once
which I hoped to do.

I am not done with this yet but when is finished to the point that I can
become active again I am looking forward to cleaning up my C300 which has not
had a bath since late February. The annual MBCA car show is in August and I
hope I can participate.
