Hello Gentlemen:
I am starting to feel a little bit better but the recovery is slow. I have had a chance to catch up on the thread:
Brent: I am sorry to hear that you are having back issues. Obviously, I can empathize. I have not been able to discern the specific problem. What is the issue? Sorry to hear about the headaches at school. Lack of feedback sucks. Is this your last class?
Mitch: I am glad to hear that your dog is feeling better. It appears progress continues to be made on the school. Any updates on the staffing?
Doug: Carefree AZ? That sounds nice, especially given the weather we are having around here. I hope you have a great time! Congratulations on your brother tying the knot. Honeymoon in Vegas...nice!
Laz: I am happy to see that your safety record is still going. Let me get this straight, you go fishing and when you get home, your wife has pizza and beer waiting???? Count your blessings. If all goes well with my recovery, I hope to take my son fishing for the first time this summer.
Cheapclassics: Now that they have started racing, what do you think of the combined IRL?
Don: What do you think of DCS 4.0? I have had limited opportunity to put it through its paces but it appears to be a real step forward.
Brutus: You will love TMCC. You will then want to get Legacy...explain that to the wife. My surgery was a micro-discectomy. I had a herniated disk that also had some of the "jelly" from the disk pushing into the sciatic nerve. The surgery cleaned out the fluid and cut away the herniated portion of the disc. While I am feeling no pain in my leg, I have to be really cautious to not reinjure the disk.
RT: What is the status with the VA?
Jack: Thanks for the kind words. I am trying to take it one day at a time. It is a long road to recovery but I hope to stay on course.
Roy: Good luck to you ane your protege in Atlanta. You are very generous. Band trip meeting? I hope they come up with a plan that doesn't make the parents drive 220 miles to pick up their kids. ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif)
Lee: Thank you for the kind words. In my case, when you have part of a disk floating around your spine, you have reached the last resort. How is the DCS upgrade coming along?
Don: I am glad the operating session went well. I like what you did and I had been trying to incorporate a little of that myself, on a much smaller scale. I will second the motion for some video of the action.
Sir James: I am glad the heart test went well. Your heart probably has a lot less stress since you stopped running those MTH PS2 engines. ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif)
Greg: Stay positive and keep busy. Opportunity will come knocking when you least expect it.
Chief: Thanks for the support. You have to be the busiest small town mayor I have ever seen. I hope you enjoy it, it seems to be a HUGE commitment.
Thanks again for everyone's kind words.
Regards,
John
