All this was due to my brother's passing 4/2 and my wanting to know that I am ok, which so far is the case. Now I am anxious for Corn Daze III to be rescheduled!

 

I appreciated the many kind thoughts you guys posted ---very uplifting and positive. Thanks.

 

Marty---hows your dad??

 

That's wonderful news, Jack, from your friends Bob and Mary up here in Canada.  It was so nice talking to you and your lovely wife at Carlisle.

 

Many happy days to you until Carlisle 2015

 

Marty and Jack:

 

I went through this sort of thing (both of you) in the past few years, too.  First, my brother died of a massive heart attack and, of course, you wonder if there is something bad going on inside of you, too.  So I went for one of those MRI/CT scan/ whatever the hell it is and found.....nothing.  In fact, the guy looking at the scans told me my heart looked like a 30-year-old, and that was before all of this silly bike riding.  

 

Then, my 91-year-old Mother fell and broke her hip which started a downward slide with the operation, new hip, rehab and all that.  Kathy and I were the only caregivers and even though she was in a rehab hospital, it takes a lot on the caregivers part to make sure everything happens when it's supposed to.  

 

Hang in there you guys.  It sounds like Jack is doing all of the right things and for Marty, for whom all of this is assuredly new, all of us with older parents have gone through this, too, so we understand what you're going through.  Please call me (508-241-8848) if you would like someone to talk with about stuff.  I sure don't have all the answers, but I've already been through it.
