survival: Ever Try and Cut Hair over the Phone? - 10/06/07 05:29 PM
I know we have had an ongoing discussion about doing loans out of state.  I know many of you do them and do them very well.  I happen to disagree and we left it at that.  You do your thing and I'll do mine  BUT, I was watching TV out of the corner of my eye and reading David Halbertstam's book "The Coldest Winter"  ( Excellent  history of the Korean War and for those interested I highly recommend it), when I saw this ad.  I am not even sure who it is for but I believe it is either a Charles … (36 comments)

survival: Loan Officer minus 55 days and counting - 10/02/07 10:07 PM
Well If NASA can do it with an old bucket of bolts, why cant I do it with and old bucket of bolts too.!!
My spirits are much better now that I have gotten over the shock that I have been in the hospital for 27 days and still have at least 55 to go.  My wife Linda and my daughter Jeanne helped point out to me that beating my head against the wall really just hurt the wall and did nothing for my complexion. So here I sit.
Linda is working on getting my TREO 650 set up so I can use … (46 comments)

survival: How to make God Laugh -- Tell him what your plans are! - 09/30/07 08:21 PM
After the complications with my initial surgery, Plan A, I woke up to find God ROTFLHAO.  My Team, Dr and Wife counselors agreed to try,Plan B, hyperbaric treatments.  When that too failed I again woke up to find God sitting on the floor holding his side saying " Give me a break you are making me  hurt from laughing so hard. 
 We Went back to Plan C.  Plan C is the basic old school tried and true cure for this problem I have.  It involves a long healing period to heal the tissue killed by radiation and chemo  and then 2 … (29 comments)

survival: YIKES -- I'm rusty and I can't even talk! - 09/07/07 04:29 PM
First and foremost i would like to complement my lovely bride for covering for me. I am amazed at how good I feel  Wed nite after 9 hours of surgery I was not sure I was going to make it. But after a pretty good nite sleep I woke up to not to much pain and have been able to manage pretty well sense then.  Thank you all for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and prayers.  You have no idea how much we cherish them.

survival: My Last Post for a while.. - 09/04/07 09:19 PM
This will be my last post for awhile (at least until Linda can sneak my laptop and air-card into the hospital).  I am being admitted at 0930 tomorrow and the Dr will operate on me at 10:30 and the operation takes approximately 6 hours.  I will be in ICU for a day or two and then a regular hospital room until I am healed enough to go home. My  Dr will remove my trach and insert an artificial voice box that will allow me to talk better than I can now.  Most importantly, I will be able to eat again.'
I just … (43 comments)

survival: Once more into the breech Horatio! - 08/19/07 04:46 PM
Well it is final and I will go under the knife one more time on the 4th of September.  They will remove my voice box and then 3 days later will insert an artificial voice box and the quality of my speech should actually be better than it is today.
I am a little scared and anxious but more than any thing I just want to get it over with.  I am not looking forward to 10-14 days in Queens Hospital, but I am looking forward to being cancer free and able to get on with my life and my career.  I … (36 comments)
