Well, for all the time I've been registered and haven't come to this thread, and for what it is worth:
Keep On Rockin' friend! Hang on tight to your family and the things you love and live life to the fullest everyday 
All the best to you from a portuguese fellow DEFENDER OF THE FAITH |

I received several PMs this morning and a few posts that has led me to resurrect this Thread in order to recap my health issues for those that either were not around at the time or simply do not know:
In 2006, I was injured at work. I hurt my back. In August of 2007, I had fusion surgery and six bolts and three brackets were put into my spine. I was eventually told that it did not work and I am "stuck" with this pain for life. I cannot work. I cannot do much of anything like I used to do. I had a long, 20 year career and I was well insured. We are fine. We will survive.
Having now said this again, I will again say that I am FAR better off than many. I have a GREAT family and all of you here on the Board. At the end of the day, that is really all that matters. Do not weep for me. Celebrate my life and my ability to do what I can. There are some here in our membership that are in much worse condition and need more of our support. As always, thank you for being my strength and thanks for all the great messages and warm wishes.

Did Saito sign with the Sox? Quite honestly, you can have him. I was never a big fan. Now, just what will Colletti do about a replacement?

| I can keep quiet no longer . . . WHAT THE HELL ARE THE DODGERS DOING ! It's not like they're clearing out the budget to keep Manny, so what's going on in the minds of the powers that be ? I get it that all the guys that are fleeing the team are not the latest or greatest, but it's not like they've got anything better to turn to that I'm aware of. Even worse than that, they are not courting any players to fill the void ! If teams like the Nationals can throw the bank at Tex, then somebody's going to step up and pay Manny what he wants and then the Dodgers will be left with nothing. Right now they are just hemoraging ! |

| It's so true what all of you are saying --I get along better with you people here than some of my own family--we talk to each other but the best thing is we don't hold judgement on anybody--that's a wondeful thing |

What a wonderful thought, Lord! When we are all here, we are all the same aren't we? There are no disabilities here...no pain. We are all just friends, enjoying one another and having a good time. We can take great pride in that as far as our little community is concerned. For all of the problems we may have as individuals, here we find common ground. Here we find peace. Here we find laughter. Here we find friendship. How utterly glorious!
I am not certain what is "next", HB. With the current financial situation in this country, I scarcely believe I will return to my old job! Last I heard, that office was being re-located to Dallas. I do not think I want to move again. Not right now. I was tinkering with the idea of doing investments but that is really not a wise move right now, either! The Princess enjoys her job and we are OK for now. I most probably will wait until after the New Year, when this election is over and things begin to settle down before I make a decision. That is only a couple months. The holidays will be here in just a few weeks so I believe I will just lay low and enjoy them. My daughter and son-in-law will be here on Thanksgiving so I will get to see my grandsons!!! WOOHOO!!!! That is very cool.
I am not sure what tomorrow will bring. I know I am looking forward to getting together with MM and doing this new album. That and the holiday celebrations should keep me rather busy until next year. Then we will see what lies ahead!!

For those of you that are interested, I shall try to give you a brief update of my current condition;
I am almost to the end of this long, arduous journey. More than two years ago, I was laying on the floor in my office. My most vivid memory is the terrible embarrassment I felt as I lay on the floor in a suit! I remember my co-workers staring wide-eyed at me, unsure just what was wrong. And I remember the pain.
Now, after the doctors and the injections and the pills and the attempts to work and the surgery and the frustration and the heartache I am here today. I am one final step from "officially" moving forward. The US government says I am "disabled". I see people at the doctor's office using canes or wheelchairs or much worse and I think, "I am not like that". I still cannot sit or stand for more than about an hour, but I am not like that.
Through all of this, I have always found solace here with you. This place offers me something a doctor or a pill never will be able to offer. I am so grateful for you. Even when I took my "sabbatical", you were on my mind. You help me through. I think of Lord and Den and their struggles and I have great hope and inspiration.
My deepest thanks to you all. Whether or not you understand it or believe it, you have helped me. Thank you so much. |

Hi Freeze,
Wondering what happened to you when you were sitting next to us in Vegas? 
You just up and disappeared! Noticed you were able to stand up with the rest of us though, so "cudos" dude. Would like to have said our 'good-bye's', at least. Take care & nice meeting you.
