You got it!!
Almost 8 months, ya think they will like havin' me back?
If I include the rotator-cuff repair that I had back in October of 04....
4 months off for that, I have worked 1 month in the last 13 months!!
Here's the funny part, Now picture this.... Hi WELCOME BACK, thanks but, I have to have bone graft surgery on Wednesday and I won't be here!!

HA HA HA..... Oh ya, and you can pay me for the holiday on Thursday and Friday!!
I know, what an ungrateful SOB........ but hey, a guy has to have some fun!!!
I have decided that If they don't like having me back, AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY ME.............
I guess I could handle medical retirement?? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though wife may have a little to say about that
Just a chance for another THANK YOU to
MY Old Fart family for the thoughts, prayers, and.......well ya...... the $,$$$$.$$'s. You ALL deserve friends like I have in you.
