THANKS MUCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm tapping with 1 finger so this'll be short, but i didn't want to delay thanking you wonderful people any longer.
i've been speechless for the last month anyway.
speechless on account of the outpouring of logistical assistance, visits, cards, calls, chocolates, best wishes, prayers, love and funny stuff all of you have heaped at me.
my recovery has been going well, much better than predicted, prob due to years of tireless training with cigs & J&B scotch.
(bye-bye to cigs thanks to bob sellers & billy shoemaker)
i had some pretty disturbing episodes of Trama center psychosis at the beginning (thanks to randy & tim chin for explanations). this was my intro to the subject, not nice at all.
you guys are GREAT; your positive energy is incredible!!!!
Karl

hey Shane!
i am humbled by the outpouring of support from my LSR friends, wow is all i can say.
like you say, greenie is also on th mend.
while i was in the hospital enjoying filipino nurse's tag team sponge baths, tommy & cindy picked up greenie from my garage took it to horsepower central (tom gates garage) for repairs; colt is fixing/improving the destroyed plastic and will ride it. how in the world did i get so lucky to have friends like this?

New job is going great.
The more time off was the biggest reason why I took the new job. Ohio looks good for me

please thank leslie for sending the tasty stuff in lil jars! one didn't survive the the trip but no matter, the others are working great. the labels fell off so i don't know exactly what medicine i'm taking. :-)
sometimes i rub the jam directly on the area which needs help recovering (topical application). the yorkies assume responsibility for cleanup.
sometimes i toast a couple whole wheat english muffins and slather the medicine + butter on em = direct ingestion.
BTW: how much do you weigh suited?

Awesome, pet therapy at it's best. The shipping casualty is my fault, woops.
I'm about 170 nekkid, not sure about suited weight, maybe 185? But weight doesn't matter that much in LSR, what's up?
