Ouch! Hope the healing goes speedily, John! Good you weren't a smoker...



 9. Probably don't ever ever think of smoking. Initially everyone that

was treating me, was asking do you smoke?, do you smoke ? No ! "Ok

Good ! you'll be all right."   I guess if you are a smoker you stand

a good chance of loosing limbs or digits or ? if you break something

down low and they have to do surgey just cause the circulation is so

poor.

That is always odd, when you are obviously an athlete, and they're

asking you if you smoke... Uh, no, you see I'm a cyclist, and, well,

smoking isn't too appealing, as it fouls m'carburetor... :-)

Man, that must have been quite the task, getting yourself from Leif

Erikson road to medical help...at night, even! How did that go?
