    Lol! Missed you Maurice!

    I've been struggling with visual issues. Cataracts so pretty normal. I'm now sceduled in mid-June for final review then surgery. Come August, I should be able to read the BBS better. As it is, it's been an increasing trial for the past 18 months.

    Hej Carol!

    Lol! Missed you Maurice!

    I've been here all along but quieter than is normal for me.

    I've been struggling with visual issues. Cataracts so pretty normal.

    I've also been dealing with health issues myself over the last year. I find out Wednesday when I will be booked for surgery. Apparently the latest scans have shown an issue with my gall bladder although I think that is the least of my worries. Anyhow the surgeon thinks it should be removed. :-(

    I believe once they start removing parts it becomes a slippery slope afterwards, but all things considered I probably should have packed it in at least a year ago when I started to need blood transfusions on roughly a monthly basis. To be honest back then I didn't think I'd make it this far. Whenever someone in-the-know asks how I've managed to survive I always say, "Strong like bull, smart like tractor." :-)

    The last blood transfusion was almost two months ago, and since then my blood level has increased with each blood test so I am optimistic about my immediate future.

    Come August, I should be able to read the BBS better. As it is, it's
    been an increasing trial for the past 18 months.

    Wishing you all the best, which I sincerely believe we both deserve. I hope to still be here to hear your good news. I have no plans on quitting.

    Het leven is goed,
    Maurice

    Ah age getting us all. For the past 2 weeks I've been taking care of Don who had hernia surgery. It was his second time. Not fun for him as he's 74.

    Hey Carol!

    Ah age getting us all.

    Sometimes getting older really sucks but for reasons I've already stated - strong like bull, smart like tractor - I stubbornly persist.

    For the past 2 weeks I've been taking care of Don who had hernia
    surgery. It was his second time. Not fun for him as he's 74.

    Ouch! I've never had but I definetly can imagine it would really suck ... really, really suck the second time.

    Today I got confirmation that my blood level is finally stabilizing and my natural blood cycle looks to be getting back ontrack, which means no more transfusions. I find out tommorow about my gall bladder but I think it will be cancelled. We'll see.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    After seeing my post to you was accepted I wrote to Merlin again.
    SameO-SameO.
    I didn't see it being accepted.

    If this post to you is accepted all I asked Merlin was if the Camelot BBS has a internet address or dial up number a relative near Milton could use

    That is weird! I don't see them, either. :(

    I will forward this message with Merlin in the "TO" so to be sure they see
    it.
