To my FABO Family

Bruce, I think your positive attitude will help enormously in your fight. It's half the battle as far as I'm concerned. Prayers for ya' buddy.

I don't speak of this too often, but I had a kidney / auto-immune system problem that damned near killed me. Ended up having both legs blocked so badly they had to do nylon inserts on each to allow my circulation to start up again, and my weight went from 208 lbs to 270 lbs in about 40 days - fluid city!!. The day after the surgery on my legs, the 2 vascular surgeons came in to my hospital room and gave me and the wife the good news - I'd be lucky to make it another 2 years. My response - a big ****-eatin' grin and a "sorry guys, but I'll probably be around to dance on your graves". Wifey told me she didn't know who had the biggest look of shock on their faces - her or the 2 doctors. Anyway, I'm still around, still poppin' my pills every day, and still disturbing as much sheit as ever.

Oh, by the way, that was 11 years ago on the 14 Sep.
Hang tough old son, and keep that attitude, whatever happens. :)
